Description:
We've all had this happen: a postcard or two in your collection gets kind of mangled. Maybe it got stepped on, maybe something was spilled on it. Maybe it's bent. Or maybe a corner was torn off. Whatever the reason, your postcard is now less than perfect. And may be you don't feel so good about sending it to someone, because you don't want them to think you don't care. We're going to fix that with this swap. Find a postcard that's seen better days. Address it to your partner, and write a short note about why it's damaged. It doesn't have to be a true note, maybe aliens borrowed it, or your non existent dog ripped the corner off. Then send it off, knowing your postcard will have a good home elsewhere, and you don't have to feel guilty that it's not pristine. 4.85 or higher rating, newbies allowed. This is a simple swap folks, you should already have the postcard with you, so no flaking please. I will angel, I have a pile of damaged postcards.

I was so glad to get rid of my worst PC last swap that I'm more than happy to give up my 2nd worst this time. I love this swap theme. I've never been able to throw my ratty ones out. (OK, they're not quite that bad.) ;)

I have some, like the one I used as the picture, that are terrible. Some are just slightly damaged, maybe they're folded, or a corner tore off.

I am thinking about my cards, the ones I have for sending, are all in good shape. So could a older card from my overage of my collection be OK? It is not the usual continental size card, but the vintage size?

If not then please ban me from the swap, other wise I would love to send one of the few vintage damaged cards I have.

If it's damaged to you, it qualifies. Damaged it really in the eye of the sender, one of the last cards I was sent had a corner ripped off. It was a fairly small corner, so I didn't think much of it, but the person who sent it to me felt it was damaged. Good enough for me.

How about 2 partners next round? I sure have alot of less than perfect cards.
