Ducks are no match for Tigers.

When the Auburn Tigers handed defeat to the Oregon Ducks in the culminating game of the Bowl Championship Series they added a chapter to the college football history book. Fans still talk about it.

Lovers of the game now have one more way to cherish the sweet taste of victory over and over again. The United States Postal Service is issuing a limited edition commemorative cachet that marks the date of Auburn’s victory.

Made of high-quality materials chosen with permanence in mind, it is an affordable keepsake suitable for album or display. The cachets are available individually and as an attractive, ready-to-display framed version, suitable for any home or business.

Both will go on sale beginning April 16. The framed mementos will be available exclusively at the Auburn and Opelika Post Offices for $60.

Cachets, however, will be available at more than 40 post offices, including the Selma Post Office, throughout the state.
