It is, once again, a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
The United States Postal Service says the Mister Rogers Forever Stamp is coming back after winning its Stamp Encore contest, announced at the Boston 2026 World Exposition.
The USPS said more than half a million votes were cast over 10 weeks, with the public voting by mail, in person and online. The Mister Rogers stamp received 40,000 more votes than the next closest contender.
“When we issued the Mister Rogers stamp in 2018, we ordered a print run of some 12 million,” said USPS Chief Processing and Distribution Officer Isaac Cronkhite. “Within just a few weeks, the stamps honoring this humble, softspoken man had sold out completely.”
The stamp was designed by Derry Noyes, a USPS art director.
“It’s all about the man, and his universal appeal, which will carry on,” Noyes said. “The best I can do as a graphic designer is to portray him clearly, straightforward, without special gimmicks, just as he would have wanted.”
The USPS said the stamp will be available to buy again starting June 1 at Post Office locations nationwide and online.
