Weekend Postcard Swap #4 (naked)

Found some really neat cards at POST OFFICE, trouble is they're big. Can I cut them down so that they fit in most albums better?

Swap is for August 1-3. knitmom7 - I suppose you could cut them down if you wanted.... it's up to you. Your partners may like a bigger sized postcard for a change? :-)

knitmom7! Don't cut them down. I definitely like a bigger card sometimes!! E :)

OK! Works for me. I put my cards in 4x6 album so the big cards drive me nuttier than I am.

I like big postcards!

Me, too!

Oh mannnn....haha! YESSS...two partners! i hope i get my two pc's before the 14th (when i move into my apt.)

actually...sorry ginger! i'm going to the beach...oopsies, but i promise, i'll be back once i move!!! :)

On my watchlist until I clear a few things out!

I totally love these swaps as I am often away on the weekend and I am very impatient. ; )

I'm running a pc swap...check it out and join if you're interested!

My first swapon swap-bot...I'm so excited!

I dont understand "naked" that means to write on them or not ???

Naked means to address and write on the postcard and mail as a postcard.

so you all save and keep the post cards? (asks the newbie)

Do you guys have somewhere you purchase pc's from? I can only find the same boring state ones!

@jadedmama try looking in book stores and art galleries or museums and gift shops. There is also an on-line store called Pomegranate (I hope I spelled that right) that you can buy cool postcards from. Sometimes you just have to be looking for them in new places.

Flea markets can sometimes have bundles of vintage cards cheap, too--that's where I found a lot! Once, for a state map PC swap, I googled and found some interesting ones from my state department of geological services--I got a couple of topological maps of CT. Different!

And your state ones may be boring to you, but many people collect them from other states--I'll take any postcard!

I have some that are big too but they have beautiful Indian pictures on them. I know some people like bigger but are there any people who do NOT want a larger one?

Try the post office and if yours doesn't go down the road until you find one that does!

A question...I know US postcard stamps have gone up to 28 cents. Does anyone know how much it costs to send a postcard overseas? A letter costs 98 cents...is a postcard the same to mail? I've been checking online USPS site & can't find the answer! Help if you can, thanks!!

The countries I have sent to so far have been .98 cents, it's same price for postcard or envelope. Canada is .75cents.

wow do u mean it is only 28 cents within USA?? Here in sweden it costs 75 cents for a postcard within Sweden and the rest of the World is 1,5 dollars....

it's my first swap and all, and i was wondering if anyone wanted to be my partner?

Hello bektech, Partners are assigned automatically. Tomorrow you will be able to view your assigned partners. If you have any questions feel free to message me.

i'd love a bigger postcard too, but you have to pay $0.44 for a postcard bigger than 4x6, i think.

I think the larger postcards require a letter size stamp. Sometimes there are swaps just for the oversized cards, so that you know people actually want to get them.

in the US larger than 4x6 is 44cents, smaller is 28 cents. All international postcards are 98 cents. To canada it's 75 cents and to mexico it's 79 cents

For SwedishMum. . .for a postcard mailed in the US to a US address, our postal service charges 28 cents, but if we mail a PC to you in Sweden, it costs 98 cents. . . we Americans complain about the high cost of our mail service within the US (44 cents for a first class letter) but we really should be praising it if we learn what people overseas pay for mail within their own country!!!

thanks for posting the rates- i was just heading over to usps.com... :)

OOOOPS!!!!! Never give you PC's to hubby to mail. I found them on the das of his truck tonight, so I will mail tomorrow. Sorry. I won't make that mistake again!!!

Naked DOES NOT MEAN to address and write on the postcard and mail as a postcard but rather that you shouldn't send the postcard in an envelope. Think there's some mix-up on this as I received a perfectly wonderful with my address, the partner's address and no message.
