Thepostage stamps of the Trans-Mississippi Exposition Issue are considered some of the most beautiful stamps ever issued by the United States, and a complete set of the "Trans-Miss" has been highly prized since its 1898 issue.[3] Demonstrating the ongoing significance of the event and its focus, on its 100th anniversary in 1998, a set of stamps using designs derived from the original issue was issued to commemorate its 100th anniversary.[4]
