National Postcard Week will be May 3-9th, 2020. I have printed off some postcards and I am just waiting for them! If anyone is still reading this, I am open to swaps anywhere. There is also a swap-bot exchange that you can still join. It is open until the 26th. This swap does require you to print off your postcards along with the following guidelines:
Here are some guidelines originally from The Tucson Post Card Exchange Club.Happy swapping!
1. National Postcard Week and the date must be on the postcard, preferably on the front. 2013 is the 30th year.
2. Your name or the name of the club and mailing address should be included, preferably on the front, but can be on the back.
3. The minimum size is 3-1/2x5-1/2 inches. Those are post office requirements.
4. Maximum is 4-1/4x6 inches. (I have seen larger)
5. The minimum thickness of is 90 lb. card stock. Most home printers will print on 110 LB cardstock, sold in many discount stores.
6. All postcards printed should be of the same designs. You can design more than one. If you do you should send all designs in a trade.
7. A minimum of 100 copes is recommended to give other traders a change to receive a copy.
8. To give your card extra worth, numbering them is an excellent idea. /100 on the back is okay.
9. Be sure to Autograph your postcard. A first name is okay.
10 All NPCW postcards should be mailed during NPCW, especially those sent individually with a stamp. Get a hand cancel at the post office desk.
