A Rare “First” that’s Almost Unknown — The First Electronic Duck Stamp
In 2024, the US issued its first-ever electronic Federal Duck Stamp—an exciting, quietly issued release unknown to most collectors. Like traditional Duck Stamps, it features award-winning artwork and was issued as a souvenir sheet with a major number assigned by Scott. What sets it apart is the bold “E-Stamp” printed on the front and how hard it is to secure these stamps. Buying this stamp through normal channels is not easy. They can only be purchased by ordering through the online licensing system of the 30 states that participate. You can only buy one at a time, and even after purchasing the electronic version, the physical copy only mails after March 10 of the following year. Luckily, Mystic secured a limited quantity of these mint, premium-quality stamps, which makes adding them to your collection easier than ever.

Origins of the Duck Stamp
Launched in 1934, the Federal Duck Stamp program was created to raise funds for wetland conservation. The first issue—designed by artist and cartoonist J.N. “Ding” Darling—featured two mallards preparing to land and was sold exclusively at US Post Offices. Though intended only for hunters, collectors were drawn to the stamp’s beauty and novelty. Just fifteen days before that first issue expired, the government gave in to public demand and allowed collectors to purchase it—sparking a new tradition in American philately.
For the first 40 years, the Duck Stamp was available only at Post Offices. That changed in the 1970s, when retail giants like Walmart, Bass Pro Shops, and Cabela’s began offering stamps as well—broadening access and deepening collector interest across the country.
Art, Rarity, and Conservation
Each year, America’s top wildlife artists compete to have their work featured on Duck Stamps, and winning these commissions is a career-defining honor. The designs have included emperor geese, wood ducks, canvasbacks, and whistling swans—each bearing the inscription “Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp.” Today, the program raises about $20 million annually and has helped preserve nearly four million acres of wetlands.
From Gum to Digital
In 1998, the first self-adhesive Duck Stamp was introduced — a dollar-bill-sized sheet, meant to fit neatly in Walmart’s cash drawers. With the E-Stamp, the program steps into the digital age, offering convenience for hunters and a rare, collectible physical version for enthusiasts like you.
Note: Every e-stamp we sell comes with a custom-made album page and mount — perfect for displaying it alongside your traditional Duck Stamp.
