Boston 2026 show label shows up on received cover

It’s neither a regular postage stamp nor a local post stamp, but the cinderella on the front of this cover I received last week might interest you. It’s one of the special labels produced to promote the upcoming Boston 2026 World Expo, a massive philatelic exhibition being held in Massachusetts a little over two years from now.

The label, which pictures Benjamin Franklin, the first United States flag, and other colonial-era imagery, was designed by Chris Calle.

It’s hard to imagine any way I could end up at Boston 2026—there’s always work and other commitments here in South Texas—but never say never, right? It should be an exciting time for any collectors who do get to attend.
