The new American Postal Anniversary Celebrating 250 Years of Delivering Forever Stamp is a sheet of 20 interconnected stamps. Its first day of issue was July 23, 2025.  Also, I’m seeing three Pictorial Postmarks available for celebrating 250 Years (details below).

Additionally, there is a whole lot available at their welcome page for the USPS 250th Postal Anniversary.  In my next post I’ll be sharing about some of the other items highlighted on the 250 Welcome Page.   

Be sure to check out the “Shop USPS” section it includes branded tote bags, tee shirts, and a Mr. Zip plush toy. 

250 Years of Delivering Forever Stamp

The 250 Years of Delivering Forever Stamp sheet of 20 sells for $15.60, (20 x 78 cents).  In case it has not arrived at your local post office yet, it is available at The Postal Store, SKU 487104. The depiction is a “bird’s-eye view of a mail carrier’s route through a bustling town.” It has 4 rows of 5 taking us through four seasons from top-left to bottom-right.

There are Pictorial Postmarks too!

There are also some 250 Years Pictorial Postmarks available for sending off to request I’m seeing in the latest USPS Postal Bulletin, Issue 22682, Aug 7, 2025, with three I’m including here: July 26, 2025 for Charlotte, NC; August 15, 2025 for Schaumburg, IL; and August 20, 2025 for Tucson, AZ.

As we wrap up, I hope this finds you well, and staying out of the rain. For those of you getting in some travel hoping it includes picking up some postcards!  Here’s to a great month ahead, and see you back here in September. In the meantime, hoping you have a great month!
