Philosateleian Post to commemorate 20 years of service

On January 7, 2004, Philosateleian Post launched local post service in Valdosta, Georgia, issuing a 1-stamp stamp picturing the Flag of Philosateleia. Philosateleian Post later operated in Jacksonville, Florida, and San Antonio, Texas, before finally relocating to Floresville, Texas, in 2021.

To commemorate its 20th anniversary, Philosateleian Post will issue a 1-stamp commemorative local post stamp bearing the text “20 Years of Philosateleian Post” on World Local Post Day, January 29, 2024.

The new stamp design includes components of two previous Philosateleian Post stamp designs. The interior of the “2” of “20” is comprised of a portion of the design of Philosateleian Post’s 2014 Yosemite Grant Sesquicentennial stamp, while the “0” contains part of the vignette from the Red-shouldered Hawk stamp of 2015.

“I had no idea when I created my first stamp that I would still be operating a local post two decades later,” says Philosateleian Post proprietor Kevin Blackston. “My design skills have certainly improved since 2004, and I continue to enjoy ‘playing postmaster.’”
