Description:
Hello! This is a swap for postcard books/packaged sets. Often times one will go to the store and see a book of postcards, or a packaged series. I want to swap these postcard books. In US dollars they tend to run nine to fifteen and tend to have 25-30 postcards. I don't think we should spend more than fifteen dollars for a set of postcards. They should be easily mailed inside a padded envelope. The postcard sets can be new or second-hand. I only ask that if you send something second-hand that the set be complete. If it says there are thirty postcards in the set, don't send twenty-two postcards. Also, don't send alternative postcards. I can't imagine the postage being terribly high, so I will make this an international swap. If you have less than a 4.7, please do not sign up, and know that I will ban you. This swap only has one partner so please don't sign up unless you really mean to send something. Any questions, please let me know. Thanks.

"Also, don't send alternative postcards."

Can you explain this?

girlzoot 03/31/2007 #

If you have a book that has 22 postcards in it, but the package came with 30, please don't send a book with 22 herb postcards and 8 building cards.

Basically the cards should all be from the same set, whether they are still in the postcard book, or loose.

If this doesn't clear it up, please let me know.

OK..I was thinking you meant no "avant garde" stuff!

You can usually get them in book stores, or hipster record stores.

And Avant Garde stuff is totally welcome.

You can also get them from art gallery stores as I found out today...

I'm pretty sure museums have them as well.

I'm looking forward to this swap. I found a really fun postcard book for my partner.

on its way to special k! i think it might be going ground, though, not air, she didn't really specify... she just said something about "regular"
