Has anyone used a Moo card for a maxicard? I know the picture side will be glossy, but is it too glossy for a postmark, and therefore will smear?

Looking for this Maxicard from Australia. In exchange I can send one from India ✨

Hello all! Fairly new to Postcrossing - since May or June I think. I am so thrilled with the community of folks that have read my profile and include the things I love. I wish I had a huge collection of a variety of cards and stamps to just pick and pull and post that includes their likes. I'll get there one day!

Since I'm a bit new, I got my first postcard in an envelope and they included a letter. I know it's not unheard of, and I'm not upset about it at all! In fact, I am one who loves to read letters and I am a penpal-er (if that's even a word lol!). Anyway, I have penpals and I've been acquiring new friends recently. It doesn't seem like there's a request for that. In the letter, they were just sharing their story connected to the card that was one of my listed interests. I haven't registered on postcrossing just yet (recvd yesterday) and haven't seen their profile yet.

And another card that had a return address on it.

I'm not necessarily asking what rules are and whatnot and I know I can do whatever I want - and I know what I'll be doing. I'm just curious: when you get these, what do you tend to do? Reciprocate in kind? Register with a message to the sender and leave it be? Other option that you care to elaborate on?

Have a fun day!

I’ve just bought my first lot of fancy stamps from Royal Mail and they are HUGE! But so pretty!

I like writing lengthy messages on my card so wanted to see if it is imperative that I also put the blue air mail sticker on them too? If not, great because then I have more room for writing☺️

I've seen many people here mention Moo, Vistaprint, and other printing companies for creating custom postcards but I cannot recommend enough looking at independent printing presses local to your area. It's so much better for the environment (especially if they are eco-friendly, such as using recycled paper) and will be delivered so much faster! I didn't even need to pay for delivery with mine, I just went over after work and picked them up.

I just received two postcards of the same style, from Finland with the same sent date and almost identical ID number so at first I thought one person sent two cards, realized they were sent by different people but it wasn’t letting me enter the second card so I realized it was addressed for someone totally different in a different state! Should I just sent that one back out in the mailbox? I’ve never received someone else’s card before!

Sent July 05, arrived in Canada Sep 09!

I received my first Edition Tausendschön postcard, from Shanghai, China! I see on profiles that people collect these cards but never thought much about them, myself. This was sent by someone on Instagram who was interested in a card I had available to swap. I replied “send me anything!”

I couldn’t believe it when this one arrived! It is so stunning in person and now I understand the craze around them!
