California duck stamps are issued in panes of 5 stamps and come in booklets of five
panes or 25 stamps each. The stamp is required of all waterfowl hunters 16 years of
age or older, and must be affixed to the license. They are not required to be signed,
although many are because of the requirement to sign federal duck stamps.
The first California duck stamps (from 1971 through 1978) were
self-adhesive stamps on waxed paper backing. They were all done
by the same artist, Paul B. Johnson (deceased), who was an
illustrator for the California Department of Fish and Game. Mr
Johnson also did the California fish and pheasant stamps.
The 1971 California duck stamp (CA01) was the first state
pictorial duck stamp issued, authorized by then Governor Ronald
Reagan.
All unsold copies of the 1972 issue (CA02) were inadvertently
destroyed by the Department of Fish and Game early in 1973, thus
making this one of the most difficult to find and most valuable
of the state duck stamps.
The 1975 and 1976 issues (CA05 and CA06) often show gum bleeding
on the stamp face. This is especially true of those stamps with
the paper backing displaying a red wavy line. Stamps on clear
paper backing are usually not affected by gum bleeding.
There were actually two California duck stamps issued in 1978,
the revalued $5.00 CA07 (CA07R), valid from January 1 through
June 30, 1978 - and CA08, valid from the fall of 1978 through
June 30, 1979.
The 1978 California duck stamp (CA08) is known as the "ugly
duckling, and possibly the result of the biggest foul-up in
state duck stamp history.
In 1978, California initiated a state-wide art contest for their
duck stamp and planned a multi-colored issue similar to CA09 and
all following stamps. The winning artist was Ken Michaelson, and
his Merganser duck print, along with a "two-minute" sketch of the
ducks by Paul Johnson showing text and numerical layout, was sent
to the printer for stamp production.
When the stamp order was completed and shipped to the Department,
it was discovered to their shock that the art on the finished
stamps was based on Johnson's sketch rather than Michaelson's
winning print. It was too late to correct the mistake before the
hunting season commenced, so the issues were distributed to
vendors throughout the state. A law suit followed, but was
subsequently dropped when Michaelson won the 1979 Federal Duck
Stamp Contest.
The 1979 (CA09) and 1980 (CA10) issues both came in imperforate
and partially numbered condition, possibly the result of printers
waste or poor quality control.
The 1995 (CA 25-28) (or CA 25A, 25B, 25C and 25D ??) California
duck stamp(s) is a special 25th anniversary se-tenant issue of
four stamps which show a formation of snow geese. They are
issued in booklet and souvenir stamp sheet format.
