I received two more today: A wicked cool- shaped one from **Cunctator** and a beautiful animal photgraphy one from **Anaamika**. Am I the first to get all three? ---

I’m glad that you like it **IvoryTowerDenizen**. I was walking past one of the tourist shops near my office and it certainly caught my eye. Both of the cards that I posted to the USA have been delivered within a week. That’s excellent service on the part of the Australian and US postal systems! ---

Cards barely posted by deadline due to my travels. Passed by home to find the lovely Jacqueline Kennedy in my mailbox thanks to Elendils Heir! ---

I got from lsura today! A cute postcard of pandas, with a cool Aloha stamp. I created a flickr group for people that want to post pics of their sent or received postcards. Please don’t post a picture of something that you sent until it is received to avoid spoilers. Feel free to post your pictures elsewhere too. > **[SDMB postcard exchange](https://www.flickr.com/groups/sdmbpostcard/?rb=1)** > > Show off the postcards you send (don't post until they are received to avoid spoilers) and receive during the Straight Dope Message Board postcard exchanges ---

I’m a baaad postcard exchange organizer. I missed my own deadline, because yesteday was our last day of holidays and Mrs Piper and I spent it playing with the Cub, who goes back to daycare today. However, they’re all written and stamped and I’ll post them today from the post box in front of the Court of Queen’s Bench, downtown Regina. I’ve chosen some nice War of 1812 stamps, issued by Canada Post to commemorate the last time you folks down south tried to conquer us. 🙂 ---

And now, a tally of all those who have posted more or less on time: **silenus gardentraveler IvoryTowerDenizen Lsura Elendil’s Heir labtrash jackdavinci Atomic Mama Anaamika Algher Tapioca Dextrin** (International Man of Mystery, posted twice! once from Heathrow and once from Jo’Burg) **FrancisCastle Cunctator FloatyGimpy Sunspace minionkat Northern Piper** (more or less on time - :o ) **ScareyFaerie JoseB** 19 out of 26. I assume that the others have just forgotten to post to the thread, because no-one misses my deadlines … 😛 And the tally of those who have recieved all three: **IvoryTowerDenizen** I think she’s the only one. **silenus, Elendil’s Heir,** and **Cunctator** are all in the running for being the first to have all three of their cards delivered. (I’m curious to know what the third of the **Elendil’s Heir’s** Kennedy-themed cards will be!) ---

I am becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the availability of and pictures on Toronto postcards. I think I’m going to start making my own. ---

> [@Northern\_Piper](#): > > **silenus, Elendil’s Heir,** and **Cunctator** are all in the running for being the first to have all three of their cards delivered. I’m ticked at international mail. I got a card from Oz in less than a week, but my card going the other direction is still in transit, apparently. :mad: What did they do, toss it onto a slow boat to China? ---

Card #2 received today, with a group of giraffes and zebras. Thanks **anaamika**! Added the two I’ve received from this round, and 2/3 from the last round (in my cleaning, I’ve set one from the last round someplace stupid. It’ll turn up and I’ll post it then). ---

Received a lovely card this Monday from Lsura – it’s the golden dome of Georgia’s capitol building in Atlanta, with “sparkles” !!! No, my nickname is not “Sparkle” (that’s a friend’s nickname), but, because of her, I’ve learned to love all things sparkly 🙂 Mucho thanks. If there is to be a ROUND THREE, sign me up. Let the summer 🆒 fun continue 😃 and I haven’t checked my mail lately … _ **who knows what lurks …** _ ---
