Alright — one last blog post about the new USPS Postcrossing stamps, and then we promise to return to our regular program! 🙂
We met so many wonderful people at the Boston 2026 World Expo a couple of weeks ago: postcrossers who came to the daily meetups, collectors, people who work for the postal services and plenty of friendly faces from the wider stamp world. One of those was Graham Beck, from the YouTube channel Exploring Stamps (and also the creator of the piXPost app), who was there with his partner Laura.
It was really nice to finally meet in person after years of watching his videos (and posting stuff on piXPost!). Graham was doing what he does best at the show: chatting with philatelists, filming interesting stamps and postal bits, and capturing the atmosphere of the event. And, despite a very busy schedule, Graham also took the time to include Postcrossing in his coverage — with some glimpses of the First Day of Issue ceremony and our meetup!
So, if you couldn’t make it to Boston (or if you were there and want to relive it for a minute), here’s the video:
Huge thanks to Graham and Laura for having us and for sharing Postcrossing with the world in this way! And to everyone who came to the meetups: thank you! You made the whole week feel extra special. 💙
Keep an eye on Graham’s channel Exploring Stamps for some great postal content, including a series of “show-and-tell” videos where attendees of the show share some really cool items!

This was so moving. I actually found myself tearing up at a few moments, my heart was just so full of happiness for this community. When he said the meetup felt more like a reunion, that really got me! So grateful for this community <3
I wish that was there..... I have been a member since 2013 and have been to my first meetup here in Victoria BC this year.
I love the video.
I'm looking forward to see en meet one of those cards in my mailbox.
THANK YOU POST CROSSERS!
I would love to have been there. I hope to attend my first meetup next year. This wonderful video made me cry with happiness.
What a beautiful video! A wonderful group of people showing the brightness and love we still have in our world.❤️🩹 Wish I could've gone. We finally have Postcrossing stamps here!!! Finally!!!😂
I wish I could've been there. Being a Postcrosser has enriched my life so much since I joined in 2021; the human connection is amazing. Long Live Postcrossing! :)
Thank you for sharing this video and recap! How fun. I love Postcrossing!
I was able to go to this wonderful meetup at the Boston Expo and what an amazing 3 days there - meeting new postcrossing friends, beautiful US postal stamps, beautiful cards, all the lovely postcrossers who took the time to stamp the back of my cards.
Also seeing Paulo and Ana - so great!
Here’s to many more meetups and thank you so much for posting the video!
Awesome! thank you for sharing.
And to Paulo and Ana, we cannot thank you enough for bringing the world closer to each one of us!!!
I really enjoyed watching. Happy Postcrossing.
We had such a blast. I’m so excited the many year long campaign is over. And so cool the USPS even issued Maxies ❤️
This video made me tear up! I want to go to the Expo next year :)
Awesome sad to have missed the Boston 2026
I have been following Graham on YouTube for many years and he always does a good job describing stamps from around the world! As always, he has done a fantastic job with this video!! Thank you Graham for this amazing video! I wish I could have been there in Boston! It was also very nice to hear and see Ana and Paulo on the video!
Fantastic video! Loved seeing so many happy Postcrossers in one place!
Poignant words spoken, and many memories made. I am so happy I found this community.
That was a great video! I got to go to the new USA Eagle stamp opening/dedication and it was a fun experience. A postcrossing stamp and meetup is double the fun!
So beautiful, I'm crying happy tears! Thank you so much for sharing :) Peace and Blessings!!
Love it! Good to see Houston postcrossers Daniel and Trevor.
