Each year the United States postal service releases new stamps. The new 2022 USPS Stamps are some of the most interesting in years, and you can already pre-order some starting today. Here’s a look at the first four 2022 USPS Forever Stamps
Also, postage prices are increasing – make sure to review the new pricing for postcards and first class letter
Lineup of 2022 Forever Stamps
Edmonia Lewis Forever Stamp
This stamp features a portrait of Edmonia Lewis, and is the 45th stamp in the Black Heritage Series. This is a forever stamp, so it’s value will always be equal to the price of a 1oz. letter. As of January 2022, that value is $0.58
You can preorder this stamp from usps.com today, and it ships on January 26th, 2022
Year of the Tiger 2022 Forever Stamp
2022 is the Year of the Tiger, so it makes sense that USPS would release a commemorative Lunar New Year stamp. Better use up the last of your Year of the Ox Stamps soon! Maybe you could stick them on a few postcards
You can order these stamps today, and they officially go on sale January 20th, 2022.
2022 Love Forever Stamp
Just in time for Valentines day, this new Forever Stamp releases on January 14th, 2022. Make sure to order these early (you can already preorder them) because Love stamps are very popular.
New US Flag Forever Stamp
An old classic, and by far USPS’ most popular stamp, is getting a refresh for 2022. In fact, the standard US flag stamp is so popular that you can order them in packs of 10,000. Like all the other stamps in this list, you can preorder starting today. These refreshed stamps officially go on sale starting January 9th 2022.
More New Forever Stamps are on the Way
The Postal Service usually releases new samps in batches, and we should see the next releases in late February of 2022.
Until then, happy postcrossing!
