On May 24, 2026, in Boston, MA, the United States Postal Service® issued the Mister Rogers Souvenir Sheet (Forever® priced at the First-Class Mail® rate), in four designs, in a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) souvenir sheet of four stamps (Item 583100). These stamps went on sale nationwide June 1, 2026.
This Mister Rogers Souvenir Sheet offers four new stamp designs to complement the revival of the popular Mister Rogers stamp, first released in 2018, to honor the beloved children’s television host. Issuance of this souvenir sheet is synchronized with the return of the Mister Rogers stamp pane, winner of the unprecedented USPS Stamp Encore competition. Art director Derry Noyes designed the stamp pane and souvenir sheet using Walt Seng’s existing images.
Stamp Fulfillment Services will not make an automatic push distribution to Post Offices as this souvenir sheet will only be available for ordering through The Postal Store® website at store.usps.com/store/home or by phone through our toll-free number 1-800-782-6724.
The first-day-of-issue postmark is a postmark notating the day a stamp is first authorized for use by the Postal Service™. Customers have 120 days to obtain the first-day-of-issue postmark by mail. All requests for first-day-of-issue postmarks (Traditional or Digital Color Postmark) must be sent to the following address with the choice of Traditional or Digital Color Postmark identified. All orders must be postmarked by September 24, 2026.

Customers may purchase the souvenir sheet at The Postal Store® website at usps.com/shop. They must affix the stamps to envelopes of their choice, address envelopes (to themselves or others), and place them in a larger envelope and mail to the above address.
After applying the first-day-of-issue postmark, the Postal Service will return the envelopes through the mail. There is no charge for the postmark up to a quantity of 50. There is a 5-cent charge for each additional postmark over 50.
Customers can also submit collectable paper items or memorabilia of their choice for a black and white cancelation. The request must include packaging large enough to accommodate their canceled items along with sufficient postage affixed for the return of their postmarked item.
If the canceled item is not mailable by First-Class, and return packaging with postage is not provided, the order must include a way to contact the customer for payment. Payment for quantities greater than 50 cancels and/or postage for shipping must be submitted by check, money order, or credit card.
Only select stamp issues offer a digital color postmark. Digital color postmarks can only be affixed to paper products. Customers may submit #6 or #10 envelopes constructed of paper rated as “laser safe.” The Postal Service™ recommends envelopes of 80-pound Accent Opaque, acid-free, 9/16-inch side seams with no glue on the flap. The maximum size of all digital color postmarks is 2 inches (vertically) by 4 inches (horizontally). Allow sufficient space on the envelope to accommodate the postmark. Do not use self-adhesive labels for addresses on the envelope. Two test envelopes must be included. There is a 50-cent charge per postmark at the time of servicing. Customers must submit a check, money order, or credit card for payment.
The Postal Service reserves the right to not accept hand-painted and other cachet envelopes that are not compatible with our digital color postmark equipment. The Postal Service also reserves the right to substitute traditional black rubber postmarks if use of non-specified envelopes results in poor image quality or damage to equipment.
Customers must affix the stamps to the envelopes and address them to themselves or others for return through the mail. Or they may include an additional self-addressed return envelope, large enough to accommodate their canceled items, with sufficient postage affixed for return of their postmarked items.
After applying the first-day-of-issue postmark, the Postal Service will return the envelopes to the customer by U.S. Mail®.
The Postal Service also offers first-day covers for new stamp issues and Postal Service stationery items postmarked with the official first-day-of-issue cancelation. Each item has an individual catalog number and is offered in the USA Philatelic catalog and online at store.usps.com/store/home. Customers may register to receive a free USA Philatelic catalog online at usps.com/philatelic.
Locally produced items are not authorized. Only merchandise that has been approved and assigned an item number by Headquarters Retail Marketing may be produced and sold.
