October 9 - Postcard Day?

Posted October 9, 2020


Apparently the first full week of October is International Postcard Week, and World Post Day is every October 9th, so when October 9th happens to fall within Postcard Week, postcard collectors say - hey, let's call it Postcard Day!!!

Well, why not!

Collecting postcards can be so fun in at least three ways:


Going all sorts of different places - places near to or far from your home - can be educational and fun - and of course buying postcards is a great way of to remember travels!


Asking friends and family to send you postcards as
they travel is a way of expanding your collection, keeping in touch with loved ones, and living vicariously!


Writing to others who love postcards and trading
postcards with them helps you learn about new places and maybe choose some new travel goals. 



By the way, making a postcard collection can sometimes mean getting colorful and unusual stamps to enjoy!



If you want to swap postcards as well as collect them, you should buy multiples of every postcard, as you travel, so you will have plenty of postcards to trade! 

You can keep your postcards nice by putting them in albums...


...but some people would rather make a display...

...like this map-postcard combo...
...or this wall-o-postcards!




Here are some more innovative ways of displaying postcards:
