I used to collect postcards and decided to pick up the hobby again. My main interests are:

• Maximum cards/maxicards (my primary collection)
• Maps (I have all the Postcard Fair cards)
• Snoopy or Peanuts Gang (especially the Snoopy Town postcards from Japan)
• Lantern Press Travel poster cards
• Recipe postcards (I have all the Postcard Fair cards)
• Large Letter postcards
• Pigs (I have the "Beautiful Pigs" postcard book)
• 3D postcards
• Lighthouses
• Cathedrals/Churches/Chapels/Temples/Mosques(especially if they are UNESCO Heritage Sites)
• Bridges (Open-span and covered bridges)
• Gotochi or other Shaped-cards
• James Dean/Montgomery Clift/Sean Penn
• Cute owls (preferably illustrated)
• Hot air balloons
• Funny or unique Mona Lisa postcards
• Sports stadiums
• Movie postcards (especially the ones from your country)
• Universities/Schools
• Castles/Palaces
• Royalty
• Table settings (like this postcard: https://www.flickr.com/photos/austen777/14745387369/in/set-72157646502494772)

New themes that I want to collect:

• Ducks
• Toilet humor
• Did You Know... postcards
• Trolls from Norway
• Retro Days from UK
• Novelty Architecture/Roadside Attractions (eg. Giant sculptures of ordinary objects scaled to building size, World's biggest..., buildings shaped like objects like the Big Duck in Flanders, NY)

It would really make me happy to receive postcards of these artists:

• Kaj Stenvall
• Yoskay Yamamoto
• Kevin Tong
• Eelus

Please check my collection to see what I have and what postcards I offer for swap. I would love to trade and a lot of my cards for trade are not yet scanned, so send me a message for other themes you might like:

I would prefer my postcards sent unwritten, in an envelope, if possible.

If possible, please avoid sending me postcards from New York City, especially bridges in New York City (Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge, Queensboro Bridge, etc.) as I have so many of those cards :)

Thanks!
