We are now just hours away from Boston 2026 World Expo, a multi day convention featuring all things postal. This event has special interest, as the USPS will be releasing several highly anticipated new stamp designs, including the long-sought Postcrossing theme stamp. The USPS celebrated 250 years of existence last year, and the USA will do the same this year, so many stamp issues are of a patriotic nature. These include bald eagles, American bison, and treasures of the Revolutionary Era. But what has held my attention more than anything else is the Encore Issue. On Saturday, May 24, a special repeat release of some previous stamp favorite will be announced. About a year ago, voting was open to the public to choose which design from a large selection will be chosen for re-release. For myself, I chose the frozen treats scratch and sniff stamp, which smelled like delicious ice cream. The chosen design has been a closely guarded secret, and I've not heard any rumors as to which former stamp will once again become available. The "stamp con" will undoubtedly be a great experience; I wish I could be there in person. But I will be soon sending a whole slew of new stamps on postcard to recipients all around the world. Write on!
