Message to Edit: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	Originally posted by Robert Pearlman on 05-17-2025 09:14 AM The U.S. Postal Service will celebrate its 250th anniversary in July <A HREF="https://about.usps.com/newsroom/local-releases/va/2025/0428-usps-announces-stamps-celebrating-its-250th-anniversary.htm" target="AirLock">with a 32-page booklet</A>, "Putting a Stamp on the American Experience" that focuses on the cultural importance of U.S. stamps. <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]Highlighting the popular series and subjects that give the stamp program its range and depth, this booklet — only the fourth ever issued by the Postal Service — commemorates the 250th anniversary of our nation's postal system and celebrates the enduring influence of stamps on our shared heritage. Two self-adhesive sheets of a new intaglio printed stamp featuring Benjamin Franklin are available exclusively with the booklet. The stamp is based on an 1875 reproduction of an 1847 5-cent stamp, one of the first official U.S. postage stamps.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE> The cover of the booklet includes a crop of the <A HREF="http://www.collectspace.com/ubb/Forum20/HTML/001379.html">1969 First Moon Landing Forever stamp</a> that was released in 2019. I inquired with the USPS if additional space-related stamps were included inside the booklet, but they are keeping its content secret until its release. <center><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/review/usps_putting_stamp_american_experience01-lg.jpg" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/usps_putting_stamp_american_experience01.jpg" width="400" height="223" border="0"></a></center>
