Aug. 14 (UPI) -- Stamp collectors have a new stamp to get excited about, along with a convention to attend.
The United States Postal Service released new stamps at the Great American Stamp Show Thursday in Schaumberg, Ill., to celebrate the Boston 2026 World Expo, May 23-30, 2026, at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center.
The new stamps also celebrate the nation's 250th anniversary.
Dan Gretta was the artist for the stamps. Greg Breeding, an art director for USPS, was the designer. The stamps are Forever stamps.
"This year, the Postal Service celebrated its 250th anniversary -- a milestone that's older than the nation itself," said William G. Fraine, senior vice president of national sales for USPS, at the Great American Stamp Show. "This highly anticipated expo celebrates, as no other event can, the confluence of art, education, history and international goodwill. Issued to celebrate this once-per-decade extravaganza, these stamps also highlight the special role of Boston in the American Revolution as we prepare to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the founding of our nation."
