Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood gets bigger with upcoming USPS stamp

Would you be mine? Could you be mine?

The answer is “yes,” when it comes to stamps for children’s television icon Mister Rogers as the U.S. Postal Service will issue a new stamp featuring him late next month.

It will be formally unveiled at a dedication ceremony on March 23 at WQED’s Fred Rogers Studio in Pittsburgh — an event open to the public — and should go on sale at that time, too. These Forever stamps will cost 50 cents each and will also be commonly collected as sheets. He’ll share the stamp with one of his puppets, King Friday XIII.

Believe it or not, it’s also not his first collectibles appearance.

Harper Lee autographs have always been in high demand with her key place in American literature

The world lost a Pulitzer Prize-winning author on Friday as Harper Lee, the author of To Kill a Mockingbird, died at age 89.

An iconic book in American literature and a staple of educational reading, the novel was the only one Lee published in her career — until a year ago when her second, Go Set a Watchman, arrived 55 years after Mockingbird.

While the story of her book is well known, her life really isn’t as she intentionally lived out of the spotlight after her literary success. Lee granted no interviews after 1964 and made very few public appearances in the past and, as a result of this, signed copies of her book are relatively rare given the potential demand. (Translation: They’ve always been expensive but can be found.)
