Stamps of approval

 It's that time of year: the US Postal Service has announced the preliminary list of new stamp designs for 2025.  Receiving the most attention so far has been the stamp honoring beloved celebrity Betty White, who recently died on the verge of her 100th birthday.  In addition, the USPS will release stamps denoting baby wild animals, the Appalachian Trail, and a vintage compass rose.  More designs will be announced at a later time, if history is any guide.  So far, no interesting novelty stamps, such as prior issues featuring scratch n' smell, or color changing photos.  But perhaps these are yet to be revealed.  As always, members of Postcrossing continue to hope, and indeed request of those relevant decision makers, for a Postcrossing themed stamp, as several other countries have released.  As Cubs/Sox/Bears fans in Chicago say, "Wait 'til next year!"
