Hey everyone! I am having trouble deciding if the id number on my recently received postcard is CA 1732673 or CA 1732643 or maybe something different. Anyone have an opinion?

Hi everyone!

I'm already using Postcrossing, and I really enjoy sending postcards to people around the world. However, I've reached the limit of how many postcards I can have travelling at once, so I was wondering how people manage to send a lot more postcards!

Do you use other websites, arrange direct swaps, or participate in other postcard exchange communities? Are there any ways to send more postcards while waiting for your current ones to arrive?

I'd love to hear about your experiences and any recommendations you might have!

Thanks in advance! :)

Hello, I've just had my first expired card - from me in the USA to someone in Russia. Not sure what I need to do, if anything.

I have seen other people write them in their bios, but I don't know if that's sending or receiving.

because i would put stickers on em too!

I have a pride flag with the word "ally" next to it in my description. My thinking behind it was that Postcrossing reaches areas of the world where being LGBTQIA+ is much less accepted than it is here in the west and could provide a sense of safety or camaraderie to those that don't have it.

I've also noticed a lot of much older Christian people on the site and want to know if this could lead to any trouble/difficulties?

I want to keep it there because I'm unwavering in my values, but interested to hear if anyone else has experience doing something like this.

Thanks.

I love crafting my own cards - mostly with stamps from all over the world! I now finished a new big batch of them. Those will be enough to last for years to be sent out :)

Would you like to receive such a handmade card?

**EDIT** Thank you for the lovely comments! I did not expect this in just a couple of minutes. If you like to swap for one, please send me a dm with your postcrossing name, so I can check your profile and pick a matching one for you :) I am not online every day, so replying could take a bit, please be patient.

Sadly the mailwoman comes usually only once a week these days, so I get them all at once, but these were todays cards. Such a nice mix 🥰 From the Czech Republic, Finland, Scotland (GB), USA and Poland.

The Christmas card also had some nice Christmas stickers on it and the Matrix one some great GOT stamps😁

The one on the left is from Sweden, the one on the right is from Illinois (but purchased in China)

I'm thinking of getting into Postcrossing and instead of buying postcards from the shops I'm thinking of making them myself and make art on them or print my own art on the custom made postcards, I don't know if you can send postcards like these in India, so I thought I should just ask, after a Google search it seems there are some laws and regulations regarding the formatting of post cards, although I think it'll be best if someone who actually does it explain it to me

I'm starting on making Christmas cards! DM your address and favorite Christmas figure, decoration or movie. 😊

I got such a cool mix of countries this time! And SO close to being all sequential IDs. Someone else drew a card right in the middle of my requesting spree 😂
