The Boston 2026 World Stamp Show stamps are a two-design Forever issue released August 14, 2025, in panes of 20. They are not a Boston Tea Party or Lexington battle series.
Verified issue identity
USPS records two Boston 2026 designs and ordinary Forever service. The subject promotes the international stamp show; unrelated Revolutionary War scenes must not be attributed to this issue.
Postal use
A genuine unused stamp carries the current one-ounce domestic letter value. Extra weight, nonmachinable shape or another mail class can require more postage.
Buying check
Confirm the exact design, quantity, pane or multipack configuration, current seller price, stock, fulfillment and return terms. A retailer’s 100-stamp pack is five official panes, not one original 100-stamp USPS pane.
Collecting boundary
Event association does not prove scarcity or appreciation. Compare the exact item and condition if evaluating resale value.

The two Boston 2026 designs
USPS issued the Boston 2026 World Stamp Show Forever stamps on August 14, 2025, in Schaumburg, Illinois. One design shows the Old North Church during the American Revolution; the other shows a colonial-era midnight rider holding a lantern. Dan Gretta created the vintage-engraving-style digital illustrations, Greg Breeding designed and art-directed the issue, and the stamps were printed by intaglio in panes of 20. USPS announced a print quantity of 12 million stamps.
On September 13, 2026, this site’s 100-stamp listing showed $65.60 and in-stock status. That is a seller-specific retail bundle and is not the USPS original pane format; price, stock, delivery and return terms must be checked at purchase.
