Explore strange new worlds…seek out new life and new civilizations with the new Star Trek postage stamps. The Star Trek Forever postage stamps are here! On Friday, Walter Koenig and the US Postal service unveiled the images of the stamps that will commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Star Trek franchise. Star Trek premiered on September 8, 1966. Friday was also the kick of of the three day celebration, Star Trek: Mission New York.
The original Chekov, Walter Koenig was among the speakers for the unveiling. In an interview with StarTrek.com, Koenig said, “I’ve always liked seeing the word ‘Forever’ on a stamp. It says to me we’ll still be around, and for a long, long time.”
The four images were designed by artists Jason Kernevich and Dustin Summers. The images represent the most iconic images of the series. The Starship Enterprise, a Starfleet insignia, Spock’s “Live Long and Propser” hand sign and a crew member beaming away on the transporter.
The stamps can be purchased on the USPS website and will be valid for mailing First Class letters.
