    Default Pile of Postcards

    I did Postcrossing for a while and now I don't. I have about a pound and a half of unused, varied postcards (75-100ish) that I'd like to hand off to someone who might want them. Just put your name in this thread and I'll draw one at the end of the month. Shipping to all parts of the USA is on me.

    Ooh! Yes, PLEASE!
    Online arguments are a lot like the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
    As soon as the audience begins to participate, any actual content is lost in the resulting chaos and cacophony.
    At that point, all you can do is laugh and enjoy the descent into debasement.

    The cards vary greatly and no single one is representative of the group. That said, almost none of them are regional, "Hello from Zimbabwe!" cards.

    What a very, very kind offer! I have some great pen pals, and I am always looking for postcards to mail to them, or to include in my letters. I would love these and put to very good use!

    I love finding postcards to mail in offbeat places, and this is about as offbeat as it gets! Thank you, VO.

    Whoever gets them, PM me if you want to swap postcards using our fountain pens.

    "Postcrossing" is a term I hadn't heard before? SnailMail? PenPals?

    Count me in and thank you for such a nice PIF.
