CLUE: One of America’s most revered game-show hosts, a Canadian turned American who has risen to the highest levels of pop culture status.
ANSWER: Who is Alex Trebek, of course!
If you’ve been following the USPS stamp issues for a while now, you know that it is VERY rare for the Postal Service to issue a stamp tied to any “brand name” institution (Dungeons and Dragons coming up in August is another notable exception to this rule). Some might argue that this is really an Alex Trebek stamp which just happens to feature a Jeopardy! motif. Either way, Jeopardy! as we know it probably wouldn’t be what it is known for today, without Alex Trebek’s candor, quick wit, and his unique way to unite millions of fans through TV screens.
You know we had to get @cookiedoe back to do the artwork for this meetup card!
(Her previous works include the UCLA/ John Wooden FDOI and Westpex/ Floral Geometry FDOI cards.)
Please note: If you will be attending the First Day of Issue ceremony, Thou shall not pass through the gates of Sony Pictures Studios without an RSVP! You can RSVP here: FDOI Ceremony RSVP
If you will be attending the FDOI ceremony, rest assured – I will be there and make sure you get your cards before you leave so that you get that oh-so-coveted FDOI postmark.
We will be meeting at the International House of Pancakes (doesn’t that just sound fancy) after the meetup, please PLEASE make sure you have the following address saved in your GPS, as there is an IHOP closer to the Sony Studios but that’s not the one we’re going to.
6:30pm-9:00pm We will have a private room, for “Postcrossing”
IHOP 
4070 Lincoln Blvd.
Marina del Rey, CA 90292
There will be a $5 door fee (this also applies to your +1’s) to cover the cost of booking the meetup room. You can pay the fee in advance or at the door. Please note that while food/ drink purchase is NOT required, your room fee doesn’t count toward any food/ drink that you order, and you are on your own for any food. (Although there may be some light appetizers floating around the room if you catch my drift 
)
So excited to have another FDOI ceremony in the LA area so soon! Take care, stay safe in the summer heat and see you in July! 
In the meantime, check out this clip and let me know how many you answered correctly!
