USPS Reissues Mister Rogers Stamp Following Popular Demand
The United States Postal Service (USPS) has announced the reissue of its popular Mister Rogers stamp, originally released in 2018. This decision comes as part of the USPS Stamp Encore contest, which was held to celebrate America's 250th anniversary. The Mister Rogers stamp was one of 25 former stamp designs that Americans could vote on for a reissue. It won by more than 40,000 votes, receiving over 500,000 votes in total. The original stamp featured Mister Rogers in his iconic red cardigan with his King Friday XIII puppet. The reissue will include four new designs featuring Rogers with different puppets from his television series, 'The Neighborhood of Make-Believe.' These stamps will be available as Forever stamps, maintaining their value equal to the current First-Class Mail 1-ounce rate. The stamps will be available for purchase starting June 1 at post offices nationwide and online at The Postal Store.
