Postcard Swap

[DrPlush]

I am open to swapping postcards, so feel free to message me if you’d like! ☺️

 

I am in Australia and generally prefer illustrated cards, but… whatever! I have a lot of maxicards, illustrations, dinosaurs, and (other?) animals to send. I usually don’t have tourist or scenery cards on hand because they’re not really my thing, but if you’re into anything else there’s a decent chance I’ll have a beautiful card for you❣️
 

I’m always writing my pen and ink details on the postcards I send so I’m keen to send some to people for whom that information is meaningful, for a change!

I have postcards from Michigan (general types) and the coveted Hell, Michigan postcard. Yes we have a Hell Michigan. We also have a Paradise, Michigan and I am trying to find postcards from there. They are very up north though.

 

And I thought Pennsylvania had some strangely named places (Eighty-Four, Torpedo, Blue Ball, and, of course Intercourse...).

I'm back from having disappeared for so long. If anyone is interested in receiving or trading postcards from Michigan send me a PM.

Postcard from Lisbon…?

Am open to swapping postcards, US or other countries. I can't promise fancy postcards, pens, or inks, but I'll do my best.

I have a bunch of USSR-era postcards, mostly (I suspect) sold in duty-free shops at the Moscow airport in an effort to separate Western tourists from hard dollars. Regardless, there are stunning photos of many (in)glorious Russian buildings and other such braggadocios.

 

I want to use the cards rather than send them off to Goodwill during my spring cleaning; they'd undoubtedly be overpriced, unsold, and eventually binned. To that end, I'm happy to mail a card, in a suitable envelope, to anyone who'd like one. You'll get what you get. It would be nice to receive a note in exchange, but is not required.

 

Interested? PM your mailing address. Then be patient.

Didn't go to the duty free shop at the airport, but I remember the tour group getting dragged to those "tourist-only" gift shops on a trip to the USSR in the mid-1970s.  Didn't buy postcards but I did buy a nesting doll set, which I still have someplace in the house (probably in the built-in glass front cabinets in the dining room...).

Of course I *also* remember one couple that always pushed to the front of the line everywhere we went.  Then, when we were going through passport control before the trip back to the US?  They did it again -- only to have the buckles ripped off some belts (Russian Army issue, I think) they bought from someone on the street and had the leather parts of the belts handed back to them....  And you know?  I don't think anyone else in the tour group felt REMOTELY sorry for them, either....
