It's the most wonderful time of the year! The 2020 postage stamp preview for the U.S.P.S. is up. Linn's Stamp News has some bigger images; so you can really check out the new 2020 stamps. I don't hate it! I don't entirely love it, but I don't hate it. The Love stamp is a snoozer, and overall, the choices seem pretty conservative. Gwen Ifill is giving me warm fuzzies though. I was so tickled to see a favorite illustrator of mine, Camile Chew, had done the Lunar New Year stamp! The Harlem Renaissance and Thank You stamps are the stand outs for me. What's got you pumped for mailing in the new year? How many of these stamps are actually specialty printed with spot ink or metallics or lenticular and they JUST DON'T TELL US ANYTHING ABOUT IT? For example, this year's Spooky Silhouettes are foil. I had no idea. I loved them and now I have to love them more and I was not ready. You certainly cannot tell that from any of their marketing.
