Postcrossing (2)

Great news: The first two postcrossing postcards arrived today, one from Germany and one from Canada. 

 


The German card was franked with the German 2022 "Postcrossing" stamp (Michel 3722) of  €0.95, a new addition to my collection.

 


The Canadian card was an anniversary card for World Postcard Day 2022!

In the past five weeks I sent 8 postcards, 6 have already been received by their recipients and two are still traveling.

Postcrossing

 


Last week I decided to have a go with Postcrossing. It is an interesting project of exchaging postcards with some Internet support.

Of course I am an old timer in radio QSL cards, but this project is much different. The cost is not trivial, as sending a single card from Greece currently costs about €1.30 - €2: €1 for ELTA postage and €0.30 to €1 for the card itself.

As I am a rookie, I make mistakes related to the rules and the etiquette of the project, but I am learning fast.

According to Wikipedia, we are part the peak of postcrossing excanges, but activity is still quite strong.
