Description:

I started this swap awhile ago, but it didnt work out, but the idea has still been in the back of my mind so I am going to try it again!

I am addicted to postcards, plain and simple. My collection is HUGE and I am always wanting more! If you are like me, than maybe this is the swap for you!

You gather 20 postcards that say something about your area, city, state, whatever, these will be touristy store bought postcards. You will write a small note about whatever you like to your partner and then you will send them. You read correctly, you will have 20 partners for this swap (unless of course 20 people dont join the swap then i will adjust accordingly) The idea is pretty basic, the goal is to get as many cards from as many different places as possible to grow your collection. This swap is going to be International, but if enough people are concern about the postage cost, I will also make a USA only swap. Keep in mind that it will be a little costly for this swap, so please only join if you can deal with the cost. ALSO: Postcards are to be sent naked (not in an envelope) if for some reason you really want to send yours in an envelope then contact your partner after they are assigned and see if they are ok with that.

I will be able to angle but please dont flake. Newbies are allowed with a WELL filled out profile. I will be checking and anyone with a 4.5 or higher rating with no recent 1's. You will have about 3 weeks to get your cards mailed out.

Cool idea! Now to make sure I find really cool Florida PCs.

Are these to be sent "naked" or can we put them in an envelope? Thanks!

Opps I forgot that, these are to be sent naked! I prefer them that way, but if you really want to send yours in an envelope, then you can work that out with your partner.

I would join if those 20 cards were to be posted in an envelope, but if I understand well I would have to send 20 postcards to 20 peoples (20 x 20 = 400 cards) NAKED ?

That would make a total postage of at least $ 640.00 just for postage + cost of the postcrds ???

That is a LOT of money

@cookingschool It's one postcard to 20 partners, so a total of 20 postcards to be sent. You can send in an envelope if you clear that with your partners first. The requirements are to be sent naked, but if you perfer an envelope and your partners are ok with that then thats fine. But you are only sending a total of 20 postcards.

Kinda bummed we only got 10 swappers to join. Looks like there will be 10 partners to send to rather than the original 20. Partners are being assigned now

@Jesshens1125 you mean 9 partners right?
