Welcome, please read the following instructions on exchanges

Let's trade postcards! You have the option to exchange, request or offer a postcard.

Be descriptive in your posts. Here are some samples and the obligation rules for each type of exchange.

[Exchange] 5 from Washington DC.

Sending out a postcard with no expectation of receiving anything.

[Request Exchange] Looking for a card from Japan.
Both parties are obligated to send a postcard.

[Request Only] Looking for funny postcards.
Request postcards without the obligation to return a postcard.

You could make [Thank You] post if you want, but there's a weekly thread for that.


Communication is key to a successful exchange.

Please edit your posts in the following manner to ensure good communication. Use reddit names only.
The poster should honor the comments as received when sending out several postcards.

Hi guys, as the title says, I'd love to connect with you all, Americans if possible. If you are from another part of the world, that's fine. I'm looking for Americans because I love the states, and my goal rn is to collect postcards from all 50 states. I'm already a license plate collector, and I'm looking to collect postcards now. New hobby haha

Request: car/xmas-theme postcard from the US / Postcards from Los Angeles (old ones) / postcards from all over the world

Hi guys, I'm new to this amazing community. I just found it. I'm Luca, an italian guy who loves Los Angeles/the US, cars and studying languages. I would love some postcards from the US or all over the world. I really need some love right now, as I'm 20 and struggling to find my purpose in life. I make decent money, but I'd love to push myself to the limit rn. I really need some motivation, and reading a postcard from you guys would warm my heart and inspire me. I've been exchanging postcards with some american friends of mine for a couple months now, and I absolutely love it. I'd love to do the same with you.
Do you guys happen to have car/xmas themed postcards, or postcards from Los Angeles/California/Venice beach? if you're American please send me one. I love the US so much and I wanna live there. I wanna connect with you guys.

If not, any postcard from all over the world would do the trick. I really need some support and love right now. I'm also playing a new sport, so I want to give it my best shot. Motivation and love will help me a lot.

I will send a postcard from Italy to all those who want one and those who send me one too. Thank you so much in advance.

Anyone want a postcard from Asia?

I have two problems:

  1. I have a few interesting books of art postcards (Klimt, Picasso, Matisse, Chagall, etc.), as well as some photography or specifically Asian-based postcards from Taiwan or other places in Asia. These will take me forever to use.
  2. I visited my P.O. box yesterday to see it was depressingly empty (save a Costco mailer).

I think these can both be remedied by offering to exchange postcards (again. I was very active here and on r/penpals and similar places under a different handle before I shut it down).

DM me if you want a postcard. I'd also of course love to have one back in exchange, perhaps long-term.

I'd be happy to send a postcard anywhere in the world. Let me know if you have any special requests. Also, Picasso and Matisse have a lot of uh... female anatomy in their art. Also let me know if that's kosher or if you wanna keep it SFW.

Disclaimer: I'm not sure if we're back to normal after pandemic, but it did a number on international mail here, and there was a somewhat long list of countries I couldn't send mail to. If I find that I'm not able to send mail to your country, I deeply apologize and will send a scan of a handwritten note instead...?

Would anyone be interested in buying post cards? or trading post cards for non post cards?

Backstory:

I owned an Antique store and I would often come across vintage post cards and sell them in my store for around 50cents each.

closed my store to take care of my mom in Northern California. I yard sale frequently and came across a huge post card collection. around 50,000+ post cards.

Without my store I don't necessarily have a market for them. was going to sublease out a spot in an antique mall and sell them in my booth. but I was curious would people buy these post cards online? to make it worth the postage I'd have to sell them in bundles of 10-20 but If i uploaded a huge gallery of them would anyone want to look or buy? I've got a pretty good scanner that can upload them all. I'm just curious if it's a wasted effort.

Also what would you be willing to pay per post card if you could pick and choose? 20cents? 10cents? $1? Kinda curious before I try to scan them all.
