This official First Day Cover marks the release of the 2026 stamp issue celebrating 30 years of John McGuinness MBE at the Isle of Man TT, issued by Isle of Man Post Office and postmarked on 25 May 2026.
Featuring all six stamps, the cover highlights McGuinness’s extraordinary Isle of Man TT career, including 23 victories, 47 podiums and his historic 130mph lap achieved during the 2007 Centenary Senior TT. These milestones form the foundation of his status as one of the most successful riders in TT history.
The stamps also include imagery from the North West 200 and the Macau Grand Prix, recognising key achievements beyond the TT, including multiple North West 200 victories and his 2001 Macau Grand Prix win.

The text examines his enduring connection to the Isle of Man TT and his achievements across other major road racing venues.
The First Day Cover captures the official moment of issue, providing collectors with a dated record of this commemorative release, making it highly desirable for both stamp collectors and TT enthusiasts.
