Any idea if USPS will issue as an uncut press sheet? |

Today's first day of issue ceremony was supposed to be at the Goddard Space Flight Center. Because of Juneteenth, today is a holiday for U.S. government employees, so they closed the center. I received last evening that they relocated the ceremony to the Greenbelt Post Office. Normally they have a lot of philatelists in attendance. Because of the change and COVID-19, not much of a crowd! |
