Hello everyone, I have some very exciting news to share!
Earlier this month, I sent a handwritten letter to the Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee proposing a US Postcrossing-themed Stamp for the 20th anniversary of the project on July 14, 2025. The Committee suggests that proposals for new designs are submitted about 3 years before their planned release date.
I just received a response letter from the Manager, Stamp Development stating that this proposal will be reviewed and considered by the Committee at their next meeting! This means that a Postcrossing-themed stamp meets the stamp subject selection criteria and the Postcrossing stamp proposal will officially be presented to the group of 13 members that decide which stamp topics will go to the Postmaster General for final approval.
If the Committee rejects the idea for a Postcrossing-themed stamp, then we must wait 3 more years before the proposal can be considered again.
If you are interested in expressing support for a USA Postcrossing 20th Anniversary Commemorative Stamp, you can send a postcard, card, or letter to the address above.
Here are some facts that you could mention:
-The Postcrossing project is of great national interest, with over 800,000 total members and over 70,000 in the United States.
-US Postcrossers have sent near 8,000,000 postcards around the world.
-This is a great collectors stamp and will spark an interest in philately.
-Many other countries have issued a Postcrossing-themed stamp, such as Austria, Brazil, Estonia, and Luxembourg. Germany is releasing a Postcrossing-themed stamp next week!

Thank you for reading all of this - I think we can do it!
