FREE: Brand New Collector's Quality Halloween Jack-o'-Lanterns Forever Stamps Book of 20 -- Just Came Out

The listing, Brand New Collector's Quality Halloween Jack-o'-Lanterns Forever Stamps Book of 20 -- Just Came Out has ended.

All ghosts and goblins beware! Join the U.S. Postal Service Halloween celebration of the Jack-o’-lanterns Forever Stamps from Anoka, MN, known as the “Halloween Capital of the World.”

The sheet of 20 stamps features four different photographs of eerie jack-o’-lanterns. Carved pumpkins have been symbols of Halloween in the United States since the late 19th century

With customs and traditions that vary widely by community, Halloween now inspires parades and revelry, corn mazes and haunted houses, neighborhood and school parties, jack-o’-lantern and pumpkin festivals and even pumpkin-catapulting. No matter how or where people observe this ever-changing holiday in the early 21st century, Halloween remains a much-anticipated celebration and evokes special memories. This is the first ever USPS Halloween themed stamps

Brought to North America by immigrants from Ireland and Scotland, Halloween soon became a distinctively American celebration that transcended social boundaries and ethnic origin. A 2014 survey showed that nearly 67 percent of the American population celebrates Halloween in some way — and jack-o’-lanterns are always there to lend a festive glow

In Europe, these ghoulish lanterns were originally carved out of turnips — but in North America, native pumpkins proved to be a more fitting medium. Now emblematic sights at autumn festivals and Halloween events, they grin and stare from windows and porches, ingeniously combining the eerie feel of the season with the uncanny pleasure of laughing at the darkness

The Jack-o’-lanterns stamps are being issued as Forever stamps, which will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail one-ounce price
