Looking for Post Cards

[TJ_Tigger]

My sons school is having a project take place where students need to collect post cards from around the world. If anyone would be interested in spending the time (and change) to send one to my son I would be grateful. This is an elementary school so please send ones that are age appropriate. They can be sent to

Bowman Woods Elementary School
c/o Griffin - 4H
151 Boyson Rd. NE
Cedar Rapids, IA 52402

If you do send one, if you could post here the state (or country) of it's origin that would be great!!

I am just glad that it is not the soil project again.

pretty boring actually but I will send one from Las Vegas. Do you want any inscriptions or just blank on the back?

[TJ_Tigger]

Thanks guys.

No writing is required on the post card.

Thanks again for the help.

Tigg-
I'll send one from St. Louis, MO - the Gateway Arch (there's not much else here).

I'll send one from Raalte, Overijssel, The Netherlands, it'll take a while though

(a nice postcard with *duh* a mill on it?)

One on the way from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. I will see if my sister can send one from Ireland.

[Ted Sullivan]

Cool project! I'll get one in the mail from here in Winnipeg, MB, Canada!

[TJ_Tigger]

Thanks guys. I keep asking if has received any. But not yet. I will post here when he gets them.

[TJ_Tigger]

My son said he has started to receive the post cards. One from Las Vegas and one from London.

Thanks again.

Hope mine does better than those in the last batch I posted ( from Greece ) while we were on holiday a couple of months ago. Not a single one arrived :)

Geez, I didn't realize how tough it was going to be to find a picture postcard. Bookstores and drugstores in the area don't carry them anymore. So my only option was to buy them online or actually go to a local tourist attraction and pick one up. LOL.
I've finally got one and it will be in the mail today.

As a stock photographer I understand the dilemna....when I lived in Alaska I had/have a unique collection of the Wasilla area....I went to Wal_Mart and the other retailers and they make it financially infeasible to get in the system. Now a barcode license costs $750 and it would cost me about $250 per postcard design.....and, you really need about 10 designs to make it attractive...so, I would be out almost $3000 up front and it would probably take about 3 years to see a return on my investment. Not worth it but ultimately it sucks for any local community because it is fun to be able to send out local art. :rolleyes

Wow. Sorry this took so long, but Post Cards are next to impossible to find anymore... Even the post office doesn't have them. Anyhow, my wife finally found one the other day and it's going in the mail on Monday!

How is the project going?
