Holy smokes, we did it! @postcrossing users have been lobbying the USPS citizen stamp advisory committee for YEARS to follow the lead of so many other countries in issuing a #Postcrossing stamp. @Jillianmarisa and I wrote a few letters, too and feature a note in our bio urging others to do the same.

They launch 5/26/26 in Boston. Yayyyy!

A new Postcrossing stamp… from the USA!!!

HURRAAAAAAAAAY!!! USPS is issuing shiny new Postcrossing stamps — and they’re rare triangles you can place right on a postcard corner for an extra-cool look. They launch on May 26 at the Boston 2026 World Expo, with Postcrossing meetups happening every day of the show!

Super excited to see the USPS's @postcrossing partnership featured in the latest edition of USA Philatelic. I didn't know they were going to do Maxicards, too! Weeee! // "Maxis" are a very European thing, that AFAIK basically don't exist as a concept here in the US. Though we've come close with a few.

Aw yeah! The @postcrossing stuff is now available for pre-order on the USPS website!

I did not have dropping an extra $300 on this hobby on my to-do list today, but here we are.

I am beyond excited for this, and that finally something @Jillianmarisa and I helped to lobby for has actually come to fruition.

@User47 I've never seen the post office release maxi cards before!

@jakalopes Same. That must have taken some convincing from the @postcrossing folks

@User47 @postcrossing My first postcard was waiting in my mailbox today. I haven't looked at it yet. So tired after a long day and long drive.

@User47 @postcrossing I just ordered 3 sheets of the international stamps. I doubt they would have them at my local post office.
