Thank you for posting this. I&#x27;ve somehow never heard of Postcrossing, but I&#x27;ve now signed up and will have a couple cards put in a mailbox this afternoon. I am so so excited to actually receive mail. I&#x27;ve sent close to 150 postcards over the last 12 months to various people I know IRL, and not a single person has responded in kind. The only mail I get is from a penpal in Finland I met on Lemmy (which is always a treat to receive!)<p>I&#x27;ll just so happen to be at the world stamp expo, so I&#x27;ll be sure to try and check out the postcrossing meetups, and pick up some of these stamps hot off the press!

&gt; What is Postcrossing?<p>&gt; It&#x27;s a project that allows you to send postcards and receive postcards back from random people around the world.

This is wonderful!!! I have been Postcrossing for years and it&#x27;s so much fun to get a postcard randomly out of the blue from someone. Regrettably the cost to send a postcard international from the USA is over $1 now, and the cost of a postcard means you might be spending around $2 per card, but it&#x27;s so worth it.

I wonder why the word Forever is struck out in the design. No mention about the design itself, just that it will be available and a triangle.

The triangle design is pretty cool; I can&#x27;t recall ever seeing one like that in the wild, but it looks like it&#x27;s been a possibility since &#x27;97.

My girlfriend loves Postcrossing, she recently discovered it and we already have cards from all over the world hanging on our fridge.
