These are so beautiful! I’m already excited to see if any of them come my way.
The USPS hasn’t announced any new stamps yet, only some small price increases.
We usually have a Lunar New Year stamp, so I’m excited to see what’s in store next year.

These “Postcard 150 years” stamps will be issued in April. But I am not sure if the stamp with a logo is counted as an official stamp. Did you know about this @paulo @meiadeleite ?
No, we did not — we heard about it last week from postcrossers, and were quite surprised… and also disappointed that this was done without talking to us. We appreciate that postal operators want to issue stamps honoring the project, but the Postcrossing logo is a registered trademark so this kind of commercial usage cannot be done without an agreement in place.
Hopefully we’ll be able to talk to someone at Posti soon to sort this this out.
Oh, I am sorry to hear that! Hopefully someone will reply soon and you can clear it out.
PostNord had not yet announced the dates for the next year’s stamps, but apparently these ones are arriving early in 2021. There isn’t much info yet, so I am not sure. I will return once they tell us more.
New Europa stamp. The postage is hinting on about an increase on international postage…
“Gothenburg 400 years”, domestic postage.
I only know that these will be my new favorites
