Speakers TBA. To celebrate 250 years of postal delivery in 2025 the Postal Service introduced “Stamp Encore” an invitation to the public to choose one stamp to be reprinted from among the 25 most popular stamps of the past three decades. Decided by more than 500000 votes the public’s selection will be revealed at a first-day-of-issue ceremony on Sunday May 24 2026 the second day of the Boston 2026 World Expo. Since the beginning of the year an envelope carrying the mysterious Stamp Encore winner has traveled from one first-day ceremony to another. Lisa Bobb-Semple USPS director of stamp services says “Holding a first-day ceremony for this issuance at the Boston expo adds a fun new twist to an already special event.” The Stamp Encore issue is exclusive to the Boston 2026 World Expo during the show but will be available at www.usps.com and Post Office locations nationwide starting June 1.

Speakers TBA. These stamps recognize Postcrossing for highlighting the fun of receiving real personalized mail and promoting greater understanding across countries and cultures. Since 2005 Postcrossing has inspired more than 805000 people in more than 200 countries and territories to send more than 85 million postcards to eager recipients around the world. These stamps may be used to send a postcard or letter from the United States to any country to which First-Class Mail International service is available. These stamps will have a postage value equivalent to the price of the single-piece First-Class Mail International first-ounce machinable letter at the time of use. Issued in panes of eight these triangular stamps’ colorful illustrations by Jackson Gibbs playfully acknowledge the great distances postcards often need to travel and the efforts of the dedicated workers who help them reach their far-off destinations. Antonio Alcalá an art director for USPS designed the stamps. All welcome. ASL
