Set of cancelled stamps issue "Postcrossing"

Catalogue number: 5416-5417
Issue date: 26.10.2024

The stamps show the inscription “Postcrossing” and:

on the first - a drawing of a smiling red mailbox, holding a postcard in her hand;

on the second - a drawing of a postcard running across the world.

Postcrossing - is a hobby and social network that allows its registered members to send and receive postcards from around the world. The project assumes that for every card sent and registered, a user receives a card from another member of the postcrossing community.

The project was launched in 2005 in Portugal, with the main idea being to create an online platform to connect people from all over the world - regardless of their age, gender, race, beliefs, faith - through postcards. To date, the project has sent more than 80 million postcards.

This is the second philatelic issue of the Polish Post dedicated to postcrossing (the first was realized in 2016).

The issue was created in cooperation with the creators of the platform - Mr. Paulo Magalhaes and Ms. Ana Campos.
