Good news, everyone! The nice people at the Czech Post are launching this lovely cancellation mark featuring Postcrossing next week!
Isn’t it cute? Its creation was suggested by Mr. Břetislav Janík (aka Bret_Prague), who is the director of the stamp design department… and a keen postcrosser!
The cancellation mark was designed by David Vlček and will be available during next week (24–28th February) at Prague’s Main Post Office, in Jindrisska street 14, Prague 1. A special commemorative sheet, featuring the postmark on a World Post Day stamp will also be available for purchase.
So if you’re in or around Prague, don’t miss this opportunity to have your cards cancelled with this unique cancellation mark! And for those of us far away but aching for a trip to Prague, here’s a picture of their Main Post Office…
Nice, right? I bet we all wish your local post office outlet looked this nice! :)

It's amazing how many countries have officially embraced Postcrossing.com with their stamps & postmarks! Wow! And I LOVE that post office!
Fantastic! too bad we won't make it to Prague next week...
Great News....
Congrats once again :)
Wonderful Post Office...
I wish if someone can send me a postcard with this special Cancellation :)
Beautiful post office.
I wish to have a card with the beautiful special stamp cancellation. Will my wish come true?! :P
That has to be the best ever way to spread the word! :)
Wow! Very impressive post office :-D lovely Postcrossing cancellation mark too, wish Royal Mail would do one for the UK!
I cannot wait for Monday to let my postcards stamp :) And yes The Main Post office is really nice :)
Great cancellation!
very cool!
Wonderful! Fantastic to see the impact of the Postcrossing idea - and great to be part of it. Well done, Bret_Prague and Czech Post!
A beautiful post office and the postmark looks great!
good news....
This is truly a gorgeous postoffice, wish I had one like it...would go there for every single stamp, haha :-)
This is my favoured place to mail my postcards :-) Kind greetings from Prague.
I hope this wonderful post office will be protected as a historical monument. It is so beautiful.
simply great. In Germany we do not have such beautiful post offices just little branches in each supermarket. That's not nice.
Looks like in a fairy tale :)
Wow! A beautiful post office and postmark!
Wow, fantastic. A very beautiful post office :-)
What is a cancellation mark?
What a lovely post office!
@fiya_wata - a cancallation mark is a mark which the post office puts on the stamp to show that it has been used. It often shows the date when the postcard or letter was sent and the name of the town. Some of them are beautifully designed, for example to commemorate an event or a person... or Postcrossing :-)
What a beautiful Post Office! I'd love to receive a postcard with their special cancellation (hint, hint)!!!! ;-)
Thank you, Bret, for carrying out such a fantastic project! It is great to see one more wonderful tribute to Postcrossing. And the post office is just breathtaking... "My" post office is located in a pretty nice building from the 1930s but it can hardly be compared to this one... Truly gorgeous.
I wish to visit this post office once!
Nice postmark! Any Postcrosser would be happy to receive a card with it.
Magnificent architecture!
I would love to have a swap with a Czech postcard cancelled with such a lovely cancellation mark. :-)
We used to have such wonderful architectural post offices in Holland, (Amsterdam) as well. Sadly, they do not exist any longer. We only have annexes now. I was in Prague's Main Post Office a few years ago and bought my stamps there when I was on a city trip. It is a wonderful building like all buildings in Prague. Beautiful city! Lovely cancellation mark.
OMG! Hoping for a postcard from Prague! *pray*
What a beautiful post office and Beautiful postmark！Hope to have the opportunity to receive a postcard from Prague.
Wow, how lovely!
Awesome Post Office and a very interesting postmark cancellation!!
Wow what a beautiful postoffice, sorry I missed in when I was visiting last year.
Perfect postoffice:)
What a beautiful place to work. I do hope I am one of the lucky Postcrossers to get an official postccard with this amazing datestamp on it. Well done to Bret_Prague and to Czech Post.
была в Праге в декабре 2012 года , была на Главпочтамте 2 раза. Очень красиво и удобно для посетителей. Буду очень благодарна , если кто-нибудь вышлет мне открытку с красивым штемпелем.
Wow! I've seen shopping malls that don't look as good as this Post Office.
Another nice tribute to Postcrossing. That Post Office is amazing! I wish I had seen it when I was in Prague. UK Post Offices are rather dull places.
i wish i could travel to Prague next week :)
It's a lovely design! Congratulations!
I go there to buy stamps every time! :):):)
My favorite place for buying stamps and sending postcards!
I remember that post office!! Like most of the buildings in Prague, it's stunning!!
What an amazing post office! And yay for the postmark, Mr. Janík and Czech Post :)
What a beautiful postoffice! Nice postmark.
Beautiful place! I would go there everyday to mail my things if I lived in Prague. I would LOVE to visit such a beautiful city someday.
yes! currently living in Prague and 5 minutes walk from the Jindrisska post office! time to make my status active again and take advantage of this! how cool :)
What a wonderful post office, puts the UK ones to shame! Love the postmark too.
I love this post office and I don't mind to come everyday to mail postcards.. ;)
There are lovely postoffices worldover..Just have to get the images displayed.

If you want this postmark too, send me email. Michal (majklp@gmail.com)
Great place to visit and congratulations for the organizer and creator of cancellation!
Gorgeous, another place to add to my list of things I want to see in Prague. I will do a trip there in the next few years.
I sent today 4 postcards from this Main Post Office at Jindrisska street and of course let them stamp by this cancellation mark. I plan to send another ones during next week. I always buy my stamps here and often mail my postcard from here. I live 5 minuts walking from here.
Great idea with the stamps, guys!
Yes, the Main Post Office (in Jindřišská Street, near Wenceslas Square) is really beautiful place. But I think it is the only one attractive post office in Prague :D I love to send my postcards from here but more often I have to queue at our little and always-cramped post office.
OMG, I'm inlove!!!! :) The post office is so cool!!! The cancelation is very nice too. :)
Amazing Post Office :D Beutiful!! :)
Cancellation has come out very nicely...
Fantastic... Wonderful PostOffice... Really beautiful...
What I lost when I was in Praga! Very beautiful the Main Post Office! In our country we don't do nothing: no stamp, no cancelation...
I hope Canada Post does this too.
This is such a great idea, thank you Mr. Břetislav Janík (aka Bret_Prague)!!! Another place to see on the next visit in Prague, beautiful post office!
Great! It would be amazing if more postal administrations done like the Czech Post.
Today I received the fantastic card of the postoffice with the Postcrossing postmark - I am so happy! Thank you Bret_Prague!!!
Oh, what a lovely postmark! I wish I was in Praha this week! For sure I'll check out that post office when I'll finally visit Praha! :-)
I received a card this morning with this cancellation mark a lovely bonus as my card was lovely too thank you @Rainicka
so awesome and beautiful post office :) :)
I'm so happy to recieved a postcard thru private swap with this postmark.so awesome!!
