Blog > A new Postcrossing-themed stamp... from Poland!

  icon

Today is a good day — it’s the day we get to announce that these vibrant and playful new stamps from Poland are scheduled to make their debut later this month: Two colorful 2024 Polish Postcrossing stamps featuring cheerful cartoon characters: one is a happy red mailbox holding a postcard, and the other is a postcard figure leaping over the Earth. The stamps are valued at 4.90 zl and 10 zl, with blue skies and vibrant backgrounds.

Hurray! 🎉 Designer Agata Tobolczyk (who has also designed the previous Polish Postcrossing stamp) came up with this happy duo of stamps to brighten any postcard. They come in sheets of 12 stamps, and 144,000 units of each stamp are being printed in Poland by the Polish Security Printing Works company. The stamps will be available in post offices and also on the Polish Post online shop on the issue date, along with a fancy First Day Cover and its happy postmark.

First Day Cover (FDC) for the 2024 Polish Postcrossing stamp featuring a whimsical design of a postcard traveling around the world, with continents highlighted and a playful sky filled with clouds. The stamp on the top right shows a smiling red mailbox holding a postcard, accompanied by a special postmark dated October 26, 2024, from Warsaw.

The stamp launch date is October 26, 2024, and the community is organizing a meetup in Warsaw, where the special postmark will be available at the main post office. If you’re going to be around Warsaw towards the end of the month, consider joining the community in welcoming this new stamp!

Those stamps radiate the happiness, that postcrossers feel, when receiving a lovingly selected and/ or decorated postcard.

C'mon Aussie Post, how about a Postcrossing stamp for October 1, 2025, World Postcard Day and stamp collecting month. New Zealand beat us to the punch. Doesn't matter! All those in favor for an Aussie stamp?

Good to know that poland has issued stamp on Postcrossing. Wish my country too should release stamp one day. As of now there are hardly 11,000 registered users of Postcrossers in India. A very small population of Postcrossers.

Cheers to all the postcrossers around the World.
Wish some one from poland can exchange a card with me using the postcrossing stamp.

I can send a AR card or maxi card or any card you wish.

Nice Design and a cordial Welcome to two New Postcrossing Stamps but just to remember how much postal rates in Poland have increased in Poland. 4,9 Złoty inland rate is 1,13€/1,22$ and 10 Złoty european countries rate is 2,31€/2,50$. For America you will have to fix an additional stamp to meet the 11 Złoty rate (2,54€/2,75) or 12 Złoty for Africa/Asia (2,77€/3,12$) or 13 Złoty for Australia/New Zealand/Pacific countries (3€/3,25$). This may sound not too much, but compared to the average income (1650-1950€ a month) in Poland it’s quite high. So keep in mind, how „precious” every postcard card sent to you is and is often meaning a little sacrifice for many members.

on
triomom, United States of America

Agreed Bako and Pangolee! Congratulations on two very nice Polish stamps. They're adorable. Perhaps someday the US Postal Service will listen to our pleas. Last time I wrote a request to the stamp committee they sent a reply asking me not to write again for several years. Not a great way to treat a frequent customer.

The Portuguese post office could also consider issuing a stamp dedicated to Postcrossing.
