Yup, he's got his own stamp now.

Since my knowledge of Spanish is very minimal, I'll leave it to our Spanish friends to translate the caption.

I wonder if it's possible to get it from outside of Argentina. :p Pretty cool stuff to own for Manu fans.

Now if he can just get back to the court...

Great find, Carina!

Maybe we can convince LD to bring a whole bunch over from Argentina. If he played his cards right, he could probably pay for his entire trip.

Here's my attempt of translating the photo caption. If David, Chilai or some other canchero can clarify anything that would be swell

Ginobili’s image goes around the world on stamps
Yesterday in our (editorial office?), Manu Ginobili received an enlarged replica of the stamp with his image created by Correo Argentino (Argentine Mail). He, along with FANGIO (Fangio), Porta and De Vicenzo, is part of the first series of Argentine Sports Idols (50,000 stamps of each one), launched last October for international postage. In representation of the institution (the newspaper La Nacion, it seems), Alberto Oneto, director of marketing, and Graciela Echeverria, manager of institutional relations, gave (Ginobili) the block (of stamps?)
