Postcard Swap

[dvalliere]

I don't collect postcards other than to gather vintage and unusual examples to mail around the world, but: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/26/nyregion/postcard-people.html Sometimes I wonder if I'm posting a $100 card without knowing it, then decide I don't want to know, and off it goes!

 

Maybe this isn't the time to mention it, but I've been selling the postcards I've received from Fred, typically $100 or $200 each. I'm up $40k to date. Thanks Fred!

I half expected to be contacted by the Smithsonian by now, or maybe the Met or Chicago Art Institute or the NYT Style section—someone asking for authentication for the cards I send out. Or an interview.

Or by one of those Hollywood copyright lawyers.

My defense: Your Honor, I wasn't even there. And if I was there, I didn't do it. And if I did it, I didn't mean it. And if I meant it, I was INSANE.

Yes! BTW, whenever I find one of the extremely rare notes from my dad, I'm transported into a memory moment. He'd like that.

Hi all

 

I haven't participated in the postcard swap since 2010 or so.

 

Since then I've got married and we've had a son and life just got kinda busy!!

 

But I think it would be educational and informative (for my little boy) and fun (for me) to start up again.

 

I'll scroll back and send out some PMs over the weekend :-)

What happen'?

Anyone from Neberska fancy a postcard swap from a small Island near France called Jersey, yes the real Jersey not New Jersey!

 

Or anyone else that isn’t from Nebraska for that matter.

I'll swap postcards with you. (I sent you a message with my address.)

If you like vintage postcards from the previous century, send a PM to swap.

Hey! I was looking through amazing postcards I have receved in the past, mostly from Fred (thank you). And now I definitely want to restart my postcard swapping again! I have a TON...collected during travels around the world as well as going crazy on eBay 1 day and buying 100s of PCs for U.S. states. I live in Vienna, VA. PM me if interested!

Hello!
I have been on this list before but unfortunately life threw one of its many challenges my way and time and energy was scarce. It is a new year now and I was wondering if anyone wanted to exchange postcards with a crazy Dane. PM me if you are interested!

I'm happy to send postcards from the Youngstown, OH area, with occasional trips elsewhere.

I exchange amateur radio cards with contacts I chat with on the key and think a postcard swap is an awesome idea for fountain pen writers to swap. For me right now I have no post card from the town of 142 population that I live but have thought about having one designed and printed. If I do it would be the first postcard from here

Hi.

 

I last participated in this postcard swap in 2013. Like for many others, life got in the way and I have been out of this swap for quite a while. Looking to get back. If you're interested in a postcard swap from Porto, Portugal, drop me a PM.

Still offering postcards from Hell (Michigan). Yes there is really is a Hell, Michigan.

Every year Hell freezes over. Especially this past winter with the polar vortex. It was definitely a cold day in Hell.

I have a number of postcards left over that still bear the Hell Michigan postmark.

If you are interested in a postcard swap just send me a PM.

I also have regular Michigan postcards if you prefer.

I think I have a few University of Michigan postcards left if anyone collects University postcards.
