Description:

Postage rate is going up in USA on May 11, 2009. US postcard rate will be $0.28 and international will be $0.98. (Canada $0.75 and Mexico $0.79, regular mail $0.44)) I know US isn't bad but with international going up 4 cents, I won't be participating as many international as I do now. So this swap is to send out some international ones before the rate hike!

You will have 3 partners and send them each 1 naked postcard. The card itself can be of anything you'd like. Write a little note to say hi or tell them something weird. Up to you, sender's choice.

I'd like to get a couple of swaps before that so this will be a quick one. You'll have 1 week to send it out.

4.8 rating with no recent no sends unless you can PM me and explain. Newbies welcome!

Please define "naked" postcard. Is it to be mailed in an envelope? How can a postcard be considered naked if it has "a little note to say hi" on it or a message to "tell them something weird"? Is this extra info to be written and affixed by a post-it note to keep the card in pristine condition? Curious in Chicago

"A Naked Postcard" means NOT in an envelope. It should be unprotected, all by itself in the mail-stream, with stamps and a message written on the back. This way, the postcard and the stamps get all the cancellations, ink marks, abuse, and other wear-and-tear the post office can offer.
