That's right, I have fifty postcards of La Praline from Chile. She's a character that began showing up on doorways and walls on Valparaíso's Cerro Concepción around 2006. I'm still sad I didn't take more photos of her street art exploits.

Cerro Concepción is home to some of the world's greatest street art.

Two quick reminders:
Even if you don't want a postcard from a post, please be sure to upvote that post as well! I have a feeling we're not getting very high on anyone's reddit homepage.
Reminder 2: HOLIDAY EXCHANGE SIGN UP SIGN UP SIGN UP!!

In case none of you are up to date with /r/SecretSanta, kickme555 and his team have unveiled their new project: subreddit-based gift exchanges. (You can read the blog post here.)

Is this something we'd like to arrange in the future? I think it would be really fun to not know where you're going to be getting a card from, and working with the SecretSanta team would definitely get us a lot of new exposure to people who are already into the idea of swapping mail.

We could even go a step further and make our exchange more than just a postcard- say, one or two postcards, a letter, and some photographs in a package?

Needless to say, the Secret Santa folks definitely have their plate full right now, but I thought it was worth bringing up in discussion here for the future.

I wanted to thank all the people who have been sending me postcards. I have been having some shitty days, and it really is a great little pick me up everytime I come home to one. So thank you all for helping keep my spirits up and keep doing what youre doing.

All the best,

When you offer up the goods, please don't also include a requirement to receive them. This community grew from and thrives on a structured system (details here).

Sending and Receiving postcards is done separately. To receive postcards, you must go through the posts and request them along with everyone else.

Topics should be made up entirely of only the offer and it's details. We don't allow users to require a postcard in return.

No one is obligated to send a postcard to you in return unless of course it's worked out privately and in that case it's none of our business.

This works out in the end for both parties, and keeps things easy and fair.

.

I have many Marvel cards, DC cards, and Pixar cards to select from. I will send one postcard to the first 25 people who respond.

If you would like a card, please reply here and specify in your response whether you would like a marvel, DC, or a Pixar card, then PM me your address. You may also specify a particular major character or series/pixar film you would like to receive a card of, but I may or may not be able to fulfill this part of the request. Can't hurt to try, though.

(Please note that I do not have any postcards of Wall-E, Toy Story 3, Up, or Brave because of the age of the Pixar postcards; and the marvel/DC cards mostly feature comic covers from the 40's-70's.)

Hope to hear from you soon!

EDIT: Ack. Naturally, my first post here and I mess it up. "For the US" should read "from the US." Anyone is welcome to ask for a card, I will send them internationally.

There is ONE card left as of 10-9-12! (24 cards sent)

'Tis the season so let's trade some holiday postcards! SIGN UP IS CLOSED.

Who: We are! We're holding a postcard exchange. By signing up you are committed to sending 1 postcard and in return you'll receive 1 back. (An option to send more is available.)

What: A holiday or winter themed postcard. Where to get these postcards you ask? Check your local store, or buy a card and cut off the back, pull out those arts & crafts and make a homemade card, or if you're talented open up Photoshop and create one.

Where: Keep in mind that there are a lot of us postcard fanatics located across the globe, so there's a good chance that you'll be mailing internationally.

When: Sign up begins now and goes through Dec 2. Matches will be emailed by the 5th so you can get those postcards in the mail before the holidays begin.

Why: Who wouldn't want a holiday postcard!

This isn't the regular PM for a postcard trade, so don't message me your info; email is required to make this process easier (all information will be kept private).

If you have any comments, questions or concerns, ask away.

I'm a 22 art school grad who specializes in Mail art/postcards. I'm finding that I need more people to send pieces to in order to keep myself motivated and not grow stagnant. If anyone wants a lil' piece o art I'd be grateful for the addresses. You'd really be helping me out in continuing this project.

Here's a few of the last batch I sent out. http://imgur.com/xlvFq http://imgur.com/u0Vey http://imgur.com/go7Zf All I'd ask is that when you receive the piece you take a picture of yourself holding the piece to prove that you got it. I won't post the pictures for privacy but if you want to post the image that'd be awesome too. Thanks so much!

edit: I'm getting quite a number of requests and it will take me some time. I'm going to be processing them in the order that they are received. I want this to be an ongoing project so I will continue to take any addresses I get. I will post international too so folks outside the US feel free to drop your address too! I'll also pm you with a note that says "sent" when i've dropped it in the mailbox to get you all excited. Thank you everyone so very very much for entrusting me with your information. It can be scary but I'm glad we have such a open hearted community here.

About 3 weeks ago I posted on this sub-reddit and a few other requesting postcards or birthday cards as a gift because I was not going to have a great 21st birthday. Today, 2 days after my birthday, I come here to say THANK YOU to everyone that took the time and made an effort to send me a card. It felt really nice to get them and see all the beautiful places that I have not been to and hope to one day visit.

Like a week later after my first post I received the first card and they just kept coming and coming a few at a time. I think that I am still not done getting them but I figured that it was time to give a public Thank you :) I have already PMed every sender that had a name on their card and Thanked them personally.

As of now I have received cards from 18 different Redditors and I want to share what I got by showing them to all of you. :)

They will be in the order that they were received :)

UnPollo sent me a Postcard of Kyoto, the former capital of Japan. My fiance has already been to Japan but I hope that one day we get to go together.

Loucke sent a card from The National WWI Museum at Liberty Memorial in Kansas City. It's a beautiful picture and I hope to get visit someday.

marianne215 sent a card from Philly :) of the Rocky Statue. I thought it was pretty awesome to get to see a statue from a movie that I used to watch when I was little.

CUTIEJUDY sent a really nice Butterfly Birthday card that I enjoy looking at a bunch because of the way the butterflies look.

Jachryl sent a cool card of Berlin. I had a hard time figuring out who had sent this card because there was no name on it but after asking around I found out who I had to thank :)

JohanF sent me an awesome card from a place I have always wanted to go to, The Netherlands! I don't know why but since I was little this has been a place that I wish to go and see. I just hope my wish comes true.

Degradation sent not one but 3 cards and a birthday card from Australia and I must say that my favorite of the 3 was the FACES one. I love animals so being able to see them even on a postcard was great!

notthemonth was kind enough to send postcards twice. The first time she sent a couple of things like a Birthday card, some Toy Story 3 stickers, a few drink recipes and a postcard from Paris, Taiwan, and Virginia Beach (I laughed when I say it) I had a really good read and laughed with a few of the things she said. Hopefully I'll be able to visit Paris sometime next year or so for my honeymoon and see for myself how beautiful it is. The second time she sent another card from New York after a trip she had there.

Solanumn sent the biggest and cutest Birthday card I have ever gotten.

momoffiveky and her kiddos sent a Birthday card that I really liked because roses are my favorite flowers and it had them on the cover.

arstarz sent me a postcard from Cali of my favorite movie, Monsters Inc. I just love that movie! Thank you so much.

aw8gr8f8 sent a card of Tasmania and I can say that it's beautiful to look at!!

I_like_food sent an awesome card from a stunning temple in Kyoto, Japan.

Nightmares93 sent 4 different super nice cards from places like India, Germany and Norway(which I just think is cool because I have a Norwegian Forest Cat) Thanks a lot for the awesome cards and I hope to one day get to visit these places.

threefourtime sent a card from New Zealand of Larry the Larry the Lamb.

cayou sent a card with a beautiful landscape of the Hanalei River with a reflection of mountains in Hawaii Great card!!

Jacqueline sent a Pixar postcard of the movie A Bug's Life that I remember watching when I was young. Her message on the back was really nice. Thank you for those words.

Iamyourbunny made a Birthday card herself and she included some very cool pictures of Washington. Your dog is really beautiful! :)

Here is the link to the Album I will continue adding pictures to it as I get more cards.

To all these Redditors I want to say once again THANK YOU for making my birthday a great one!! I will always remember this year. Because this was the year when some very kind people took the time and effort to send a card to a person they knew nothing about. You made me see that there are nice people out there that will help others without expecting nothing in return.

Keep being AWESOME and KIND! :D

I'm excited, I love sending mail. :)

EDIT: 8 left.

Hey gang, There's a 19 year old in hospice with terminal cancer and his wish is to get mail. I figured ya'll are First Class in postal coverage. ;) Thought maybe he could get some mail outside of the Georgia area. Here's the info I was sent:

"This message is from someone who does some work for the JoAnna McAfee Foundation for childhood cancer research and asked everyone to forward this out to see if anyone could write to Kody.

Kody Lucas, age 19, Perry, GA was diagnosed with a Brain Tumor is in Hospice now. He has a "Bucket List" and wants to receive cards . Please send him a "Thinking of you" card NOT a get well card. He loves to get cards and anxiously awaits the mail daily. Maybe if any of you are in clubs, etc., this email could be forwarded to them, or forward to your email list. We would like for him to receive lots of cards! Kody Lucas 207 Addison lane Perry, GA 31069 Would everyone take a few minutes and send a card. Let's make a difference in this young man's life."

Note: I was a bit unsure about posting the address, but the nature of the request sounds like an open invite (even though it may violate Reddit's interweb law). Hoping including the address will lower the threshold of obstacles to getting people to send mail. In addition, there's a FB page set up with the info: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Kody-Lucas/143274602413023

Also, just wanted to say this is one cool subreddit. k, I gotta get back to work, have a great evening!

Hello r/RedditPost! I'm back with these beautiful postcards with depictions of Aztec mythology: album here

First picture:

• On the top-left picture we have "Tamoanchan". Gone.

• Top-right is Tlaloc, the Aztec god of rain. Gone.

• The bottom-left picture has Mictlantecuhtli and Quetzalcoatl together representing the duality of life and death and/or night and day. Gone! I thought this one was going to go first.

• Bottom-right has a depiction of my favorite Aztec god: Xipe Totec. I have two of this postcard. One left. Gone.

Second picture:

• The top-left card is of the Coyolxauhqui stone.

• I can't find a direct link to the top-right card but it is a Tree of Life. Gone.

• ~~Bottom-left has the center of the Sun Stone. ~~ Gone.

• Bottom-right has the whole Sun Stone. Gone.

Third Picture:

• Top is Ehecatl-Quetzalcoatl. I have two of these. Only one left. Gone.

• Bottom is Tezcatlipoca. Gone.

All these are printed here in Mexico by an independent company, they have a very nice texture to them (like sandpaper, specially Coyolxauhqui).

Seriously, am I the only one who would like to see the results of your postcard requests?
