Shark Week USPS Shark Stamps Unveiling

In time for Shark Week, the USPS Shark Stamps Unveiling was held yesterday at the Newport Aquarium.

The Sharks Stamps feature “… five species that inhabit American waters — the mako, thresher, great white, hammerhead and whale shark.” 

Loved reading at the USPS Postal News Release – “You’re Gonna Need a Bigger Envelope, #SharksStamps”

To order First-Day-of-Issue Postmarks, and for ordering First-Day Covers all of the details are here.

If your local Post Office does not have them yet, the Sharks Forever stamps can be ordered online at the USPS website.

It was just a year ago the USPS issued their Pets Forever stamps.

Including these stamps with our summer letter writing I can envision fast forward to a letter being brought along to the beach, reminding me to ask – Let me know if you plan to go into the water!
