(KDKA/CBS Local) -- "Sesame Street" stamps will be available at a post office near you sometime this year.

The U.S. Postal Service revealed three 2019 stamp subjects Tuesday.

One of the three subjects is "Sesame Street." The Postal Service says they are honoring the long-running show as "one of the most influential and beloved children's television shows."
