The long list of 52 or the half list of 26 is good. Another idea for places to shop for postcards is antique stores. Depends on the store, but sometimes they don’t cost much more there than they do new. ---

Short list please. Email sent. I’m thinking of writing a short short story on each postcard, and maybe slapping a few stickers or vintage stamps in addition to the actual stamp. How much to postcard stamps cost nowadays anyway? ---

Here in the UK you can send anywhere in the world from 39p a postcard, 49p for airmail. If anyone knows cheaper let everyone know. I got my info from [here](http://www.royalmail.com/portal/rm/content1?catId=400037&mediaId=400393) Also, I would like a short list to start with and if I can afford to, yes I’m a student, I’ll look forward to doing some more. ---

I think I already told you this, **misstee** , but I’m gunning for the long list. And I’m fairly certain that postcard stamps in the U.S. cost twenty-six cents. ---

> [@look!ninjas](#): > > I’m fairly certain that postcard stamps in the U.S. cost twenty-six cents. Nope, only 23 cents if you’re sending the card to an address which contains a U.S. Postal Service ZIP Code (e.g. Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, U.S. Virgin Islands, and APO/FPO, in addition to one of the fifty states or the District of Columbia). The charge from the USA is 50 cents to Canada or Mexico, 70 cents to all other countries (at least until the next rate increase). By the way, **misstee** , check out post #29 to the thread titled **The Doper Name Limerick Game** … 🆒 ---

There aren’t any other Nashvillians on this list are there? I’d hate for people to get TWO Hee Haw postcards. Oh, put me down for a couple of short lists too. ---

I got the lists all done and emails sent out ( all by 5:00 am on a Monday! ) this morning. There were three lists of 16, one list of 17 and the long list of 62. Let me know if you guys want more names. 🙂 The kids had fun looking up the states/countries to see where you all lived while I was making lists. That was awesome. I noticed a lot of Pennsylvania dopers. You guys rock. **Rooves** we didn’t have any dopes from Italy sign up. ☹ **Max Carnage** there were two other TN dopers, but I am sure that will be ok. I think I have all three of you on seperate lists. ---

With luck, we didn’t have _any_ dopes from any where sign up. But now I have to really find some more postcards. I wasn’t planning on 62! :eek: Lok ---

Got my list this morning (thanks for re-sending it!). My computer is having ‘issues’, and both of the printers seem to have lost the connections (or ‘cannot locate ink cartridge’ - \*\*\*IT’S IN THERE IN YOUR LITTLE CARTRIDGE HOLDER SLIDEY THING YOU DUMMASS PIECE OF BULLDUST PLASTIC I’m sorry, I’m a little tense this morning), so I’m going to have to re-install everything. Sheesh. What a birthday. And I am writing down all 62 by hand on a separate sheet of paper so I have an extra copy. So if my writing is a wee bit cramped on your card, that’s why. My wing will never be the same. But I’m still gonna have fun.
