The U.S. Postal Service will release three issues during the show. On Thursday, it will have a first-day ceremony for two stamps promoting Boston 2026. On Saturday, immediately following the APS general membership meeting, the latest in the series of lepidoptera stamps for the non-machineable (greeting card) rate, will emerge from its cocoon: the Luna Moth. Friday’s issue has not yet been announced.
The United Nations and Rattlesnake Island Local Post also will have first-days at GASS and Boston 2026 will release a new label promoting the show. It was designed by AFDCS member Chris Calle, who will spend most of the show at the AFDCS booth, signing and selling his FDCs and related work.
The AFDCS plans to have both show cachets and cachets for these issues for sale at its booth, both serviced and unserviced.
