Navigators updates stamp-sized designs used on envelope

Not quite a year ago, I wrote about an oversized Navigators envelope that both had three stamp-sized designs printed on it and contained a business reply envelope bearing additional stamp-sized designs. The nonprofit in late November sent a similar envelope, but unlike last year’s, which pictured a train, the one my family received last month pictures a church.

Although Navigators updated the artwork used on the container envelope, the BRE inside looked just like the one mailed last year.

Any cover of this size tends to get banged up traveling through the mail, and as you can see from the scan, that was certainly the case for this one. And it’t not exactly something that would be easy to store, either, but it’s an interesting example of modern nonprofit mail.

Winter 2024 update for The Philosateleian

The United States Postal Service has finished issuing stamps for 2024, and it’s time for the final quarterly update of the year for The Philosateleian U.S. Stamp Album. The Winter 2024 Supplement (136 KB, 3 files, 7 pages) has spaces for the United States postage stamps issued in September and October plus the Philosateleian Post stamps I released in 2024, and you can download and print the pages at your convenience.

If you’ve previously switched to The Philosateleian’s annual update track where you print an update only once a year, my 2024 annual page set should be available in early January.

As always, thank you for interest in and support for The Philosateleian!
