I do not know about you guys, but I can not wait to get my hands on a few books of these stamps! And you know what makes it even better? They are being released on my Birthday! Happy Birthday to me!!

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, companies such as Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey used posters to let people know that the circus was coming to town. These stamps will celebrate the large, colorful pieces of art that showcased eye-catching imagery of stunts, performers, and animals. 

The Vintage Circus Posters stamps will be sold in sheets of 16 featuring reproductions of eight vintage circus posters. 

The Vintage Circus Posters stamps will be issued as Forever® stamps.
