I’ve posted a bunch of cards today:
I received 2 cards from Philippines today from Marlon F. Vicente; one is a map card (written & stamped) and the other is an unwritten/unused card. I also received several postcards from Olga Petrochecko of Russia, I really like the castle card as well as the shipping port…great!
I was able to contact everyone on my pending list of pending swaps. Somehow, everyone has received the cards I sent, except for the two swappers in the Philippines. I had sent them both 10 cards each and both have confirmed that they have not received any cards from me. There is obviously a problem with the Philippines postal service. According to Godfrey, this is not the first time he’s experiencing this…in fact, he says it’s been so common recently that he actually went as far as getting out of it for a while. Continue reading
Last night I was going through the list of swappers whom I sent cards to but never received any in return. Over the years of being a swapper, I’ve never had any issues with unreceived mail (in my earlier days we found swappers through FBs or ‘Friendship Books’). The swappers I have found recently though, are all available on Facebook.
The following are swappers who I sent cards to (first batch and second batch). The ones in green are swappers I’ve already received cards in return from, and the ones in red are swappers who I have not received cards from: Continue reading
I just wanted to mention that this past week I’ve received cards from NourEddine, from the lovely Tunisia. Thank you very much, they are very beautiful cards.
I’ve been a member at Delcampe.net since 2007 but never really did anything there; just pretty much lurked around. But then again it was because at the time, it wasn’t that much of a big deal…not as developed as it is today. I’ve been ‘hanging out’ at this place lately though, because in my quest to find African mainland cards at Facebook, it’s been almost close to impossible. It’s almost like people in mainland Africa do not collect postcards.
I even bought other collector items incl. costly stamp sets just so that viewcard collectors with extra Africa cards in their collection might be willing to offer me a card or two. But believe me; it’s never been the case. They simply didn’t have cards from Africa. Continue reading
I’ve received viewcards from Fatimah Rodhiah of Malaysia today, excellent and very beautiful postcards. This is a send-first from Fatimah. I also have very few Malaysian cards so this is definitely a nice surprise for me.
I’ve received exchange-cards from Annerie Meijer from the Netherlands, Daniel Enrique Ladioray of Philippines, and Mirek Chomka of Poland.
Thank you very much for the cards swappers, great swap!
