Later this week the Date meets zip 51521 presents itself as a pictorial postmark! And the wonderful thing about it is you and I have 30 days to request the postmark via the mail.
Welcome to our newest AnchoredScraps email blog subscribers! Over the course of blogging here for six years, we have from time to time had Date Meets Zip Pictorial Postmarks appear reflecting their respective dates including “Fillmore Zippy day 93016 Pictorial Postmark“.
Simply put, Date Meets Zip means the date itself matches the zip code.
In last weeks USPS Postal Bulletin 22571, it includes sharing about the Date meets zip 51521 for Avoca, IA 51521. This is the address for requesting:
May 15, 2021
51521 Committee
ZIP Code Day Station
Postmaster
PO Box 9998
Avoca, IA 51521-9998
If you are new to the process for requesting, the entire process is at the above link.
Here is a partial excerpt:
Customers wishing to obtain a postmark must affix stamps to any envelope or postcard of their choice, address the envelope or postcard to themselves or others, insert a card of postcard thickness in envelopes for sturdiness, and tuck in the flap. Place the envelope or postcard in a larger envelope and address it to: Pictorial Postmarks, followed by the Name of the Station, Address, City, State, ZIP+4® Code, as listed next to the postmark.
