Mushroom National Geographic set

Just posted an offer of the pictured cards on the main sub (NOT OFFERING THEM HERE!!!). Wanted to post the pics here because this is my absolute favorite postcard set. The cardstock is archive quality and the photography is just stunning. There is a fantasy quality that perhaps comes naturally when photography focuses on the forest floor microcosmos. But I really love this set. I have two backups sets so I never have to stop sending them lol. And it's not too expensive which is nice for me because I don't make a lot of money!

Also does anyone here also swap cards on Xiaohongshu? The postcard swapping and penpalling scene there is pretty great and I have made some good friends over the past few years. For a US comparison it is sorta instagram-like. I have received pretty amazing postcards, a few recent ones are pictured above. Die-cut, non-rectangular cards are a bit more common in China apparently which is kinda cool. Anyway hope you're having an amazing morning/day/evening!

Busy postcard weekend!

Wrote more cards than usual this weekend and still have an offer open so might yet add to it. Have been sending out Rosh Hashanah cards to friends abroad for the last week so they arrive near the date. And the last pic is my stamp for homemade cards for the coming year. Hope y'all have had good weekends!

[Offer] 1920ish Le Chemin des Dames postcards [US to WW]

EDIT: Some are claimed directly in the inbox. 2 cards left as of time of edit.

Hi folks! I have written a rather absurd number of postcards already this weekend and see no reason to stop now. So here we have thirteen black and white cards from a late 1910s/early 1920s postcard set showing postwar destruction in le Chemin des Dames. At least one of the cards shows ruins from Napoleonic wars perhaps made more ruined by World War 1.

If you want one, comment below and inbox me with your address and I will post it promptly. If you are a stamp person let me know and I'll fill the card with stamps more than a message. First come, first serve, no flair requirements and no exchange is necessary although exchanges are of course welcome. It's fine if you have responded to prior offers. Hope you're having a good weekend!

[Offer] Mob Museum postcards [US to WW]

Hey all! Am on hiatus on Xiaohongshu because sharing addresses for stamps and postcards gets read as scammy by the algorithm from time to time. So am back on reddit for a few months until my account goes back to normal in November.

I have nine total postcards from the Mob Museum in Las Vegas where I picked up scrap metal for recycling this morning. You are welcome to one. First come, first serve. No exchanges are required but are of course welcome. If you want one just claim it in a comment and I'll inbox you for an address. Don't care if you name me in a thank you post as I am flair averse but you do you.

If I owe you a Rosh Hashanah card from the last time I deleted a reddit account let me know and I'll send you one since it is coming up soon. May make a separate post for it. Peaaaaaaace
