Are we collecting images of the various Belarus postmarks (the 18 earlier ones)? Anyway here is the one from Lida (ΛIДA), which I have just received in a transaction:

I have not seen any new Postcrossing postmarks recently. Probably due to Covid-19 many Meet-ups can not take place…

However there are some new about Postcrossing Stamps. The issue planned by Finland next month will not happen, but Austria, Belarus and Guernsey all announced stamps for this year.

Here is already an image of the Austrian stamp.

Very good news about the new releases!
Here is an older postmark from Archangelsk, Russia that I have recently found.

Just saw it on Twitter:

And here is already an entire topic about it on the Forum:

@ch_nz At first I was shocked that there might be an older Russian postmark unlisted, but luckily it is already on the list. Good however to see a real used version of the postmark. For many Russian postmarks I wonder whether they were ever really used or not.

Guernsey Post revealed the images of its Postcrossing stamps planned for June:

You can see larger images on their website, but unfortunately I can not download the larger to upload them here.

If you enlarge the images you can see that the postcards on the stamps are addressed to @meiadeleite, @paulo and two other members in Australia and the United Kingdom. If I look right not all of these addresses are post boxes, so I hope that these are not real addresses or that the users know about it…

The other two are @shanaqui and @mundoo :smiley:
Incredible detail. I guess they surely asked for permission first.

To add, mine is not a real address, but it is one I chose which is personal and meaningful! Which is also a really lovely touch. Like @mundoo, I’m really honoured by it! Thank you, Guernsey Post! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Another pistal administration jumps in to celebrate the 16th birthday of Postcrossing with a new stamp, the Donetsk People’s Republic. The stamps are not recognized internationally and I am not sure whether they can actually be used to mail international mail, but I think yes. Has anybody ever gotten a card from there?

As far as I know the stamps of the DNR (Donetsk People’s Republic) can be used within their territory only.

@Sascha_B I am not sure. I know that for example the stamps of Transnistria can not be used for international mail, but for other not-fully-recognised states there are some sorts of agreements. On this blog however there is a card from Donetsk, which made the journey to Malaysia in over six months:

Postcard A La Carte: Donetsk - Capital - Donetsk (smspostcard.blogspot.com)

No matter if it can be used for international, but I do not think that it can be counted as an “official” Postcrossing stamp, as I doubt that there was an agreement by Postcrossing on the issuance of this stamps.

Finally managed to include the list of Postcrossing stamps as well. I copied the list from the old forum and added the most recent stamps. Maybe someone can take a look if everything is right and that I have not omitted anything. :smiley:

Here are some images of the 2013 Lithuania stamp from Oct 5, 2013:


They are official stamps by UPU member postal administrations. Same is true for others, I don’t think it is important whether they are “approved” by anyone.
