Comment: What an awesome envelope of items! The postcards are absolutely delightful .The state postcards are a great addition to my state collection

Comment: I did not realize Illinois is the 6th most populous state - does Chicago and the surrounding area have most of it? Thanks for the fun postcard, I hadn't seen any in this series. Happy Halloween!
Comment: Thank you for the awesome items. The postcards are cute. I used to like spam and haven't eaten it in years. I just bought some yesterday! Perfect timing on that postcard
Comment: Thanks for the items you sent. So much inside of the envelope that is fell apart. It arrived in a USPS plastic mailer. But there were so many useful items inside. I was happy to get all of the postcards. Using some for swaps today. Have a lovely day. Happy swapping.
Comment: Love the metal postcard, so cute! My first two guesses for your state were Kentucky or Oklahoma but my husband said he thought Illinois was the "Prairie State" so I Googled it and found the answer. You live in Illinois!
Comment: Thanks Matt for the happy mail. The postcards are great. And I actually need the little football stickers for my planner and calendar. And the Chicago postcard filled with stamps is interesting. Fun swap.
Comment: Thank you for the postcard! I got to visit Chicago when my son graduated from boot camp. Going to have to go back and visit some of those parks! :)

Comment: Thank you! I use a lot of post-it notes to make daily lists and I don't think I've ever bought a postcard. I just use the ones I get from other SB users.

Dear Matt319,

The illustrated ghosts on the postcard were delightful. Wishing you a "ghostly" and Happy Halloween!
Warm regards,
SimonLoCD
Comment: Thanks for the postcard of Vermont. It makes me remember fondly our family trip in 2021 to Boston, and all up through Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. Thanks so much.
Comment: I used to go to Chicago a lot when I lived in Ohio. My ex husband was in boot camp and corps school up there and I would go up and visit a lot. Dim sum in Chinatown can't be beat!
Comment: Thank you so much for all the goodies you sent me. I was in need of more post cards. I like that some of them had used postage stamps on them. Take care and be safe!
Comment: OMG this package was so big! The lined post-it notes are ALWAYS in demand here. Even though I have an agenda app (that works quite well) on my phone, it helps me focus on priorities to physically write things. I'll have to start joining more postcard-oriented swaps now. Thank you!
Comment: You were very generous with this "stuffing!" Love the post cards with the stamps on them-I haven't seen something like that before and I collect stamps-what a joy to discover something new! Thanks for sharing that and the other goodies-Take care!
Comment: I smile whenever I get a postcard from you because I know I will always learn an interesting tidbit about the postcard I'm getting! Thank you for the awesome Chicago PC! I love the little factoid about the ferris wheel- so cool!
Comment: Matt~ OMG you put so much in the envelope. I like getting lined note paper, the ones you sent are so cute. You had a creative idea when you sent the postcards that had stamps ib the back, thank ou so so much.
Comment: I don't know if everything survived the trip. A corner of the envelope is just gone. I like all the postcards! and the smiley paper, squirrel, and stamps.
Comment: Thank you for the beautiful Hawaii postcard, Matt! I've never seen such thick postcards before, it's really nice! Thank you for hosting all these swaps - I've really enjoyed all the postcards!
Comment: i love this Oahu card you sent! i went on my make-a-wish trip to hawaii and stayed in the hotel this picture was taken at, with almost the same exact view! it was such a special trip and your card reminded me of that, thank you!
Comment: as always Matt an amazing and wonderful envelope of treasures. Thank you again! I especially enjoy looking at the stamps. I am not a collector, but I may just turn into one. I am from Canada originally and have none of these. Very cool.
Comment: Wow what a great package you sent. I really love all these amazing postcards, stamps and pieces I can use in my art. Thank you for being so generous and thoughtful. The baseball postcards are really nice! Hope to swap again in the future! God Bless!
Comment: Thank You for the unique post card. I have actually been to the Science and Industry Museum. A long, long time ago. As a class trip in elementary school. Only got to see a little of it though because had to spend the rest of our time searching for a classmate that had wandered off on his own. Chicago isn't that far away --- should see now as an adult. Maybe when it warms up. Thanks again.
Comment: I don't even know what to say....your "stuffed" envelope was amazing! It was truly stuffed and I so enjoyed uncovering the next goodie that you sent. I know I now need to step up my game (so thanks for the inspiration!). Thank you for your thoughtful swap, truly!
Comment: Thank you for the great swap package. I appreciate the postcards both with the stamps and without, the puzzle page and the scrapbook items. You are very kind.
Comment: Thanks for the postcard. The mask mandate in our county was just lifted. Teachers are not required to wear them but I keep mine on when I'm around a lot of students.
Comment: Thanks so much for the PCs. And I love the card you included with the photo of the county sign on the front. What a really neat idea. I will be scraplifting that for my own junk journal lol.
Comment: Thanks for the PC! Interesting facts about Illinois. Utah is the 11th largest State, but we have a LOT of area in wilderness and desert where people can't live...No water in the desert, and high altitude mtns... Enjoy your State! My g-grandparents lived there for awhile.
Comment: So many cool goodies! Thanks so much! Especially love the vintage-style travel postcards! (Just a heads-up for your future swaps: I had to pick the envelope up at the post office because of insufficient postage.)
Comment: Thanks for the wonderful postcards, Matt! I'd love to visit Illinois, but I've only lived on and traveled along the West coast.
Hope you had a great spring break trip!
☆Raynor
Comment: Thank you so much for the teas and postcards. I love the Dilbert cartoon. Will use that for a future collage. I always need post its for work! Thank you so much.
Comment: Thank you so, so much for everything you sent! I LOVED the postcards and the banana notecard is low key the best one I've ever gotten! Warm wishes from the southern parts of Illinois!
Comment: Thanks for the items you put together for me! I must say, that the tea will be composted though, because they are old & all but one, is not sealed by the manufacturer! I can tell they're old, by smell & resonance feel. However, I do appreciate the thought. Now, the postcards, stamps, colored paper squares & doilie are definitely something I can use! The timing is wonderful for the pc's & stamps! I love the San Fran. & Nat. Parks pc's! Was running low on postcards! So these are a nice addition! The stamps will be used for some binder covers to keep my Happy Mail! Thanks. ~ Z
Comment: WOW!!! SO love every single thing you sent. The postcards are gorgeous & love all of the extras and esp the stamps. Thank you so much, fav one of the whole swap:)
Comment: Loved the postcards, especially the army ones (and the stamps). Also liked the little Wisconsin Dells card, and the Boston ones. And the tea! Thanks so much.
Susan (brooklynbunch)
Comment: Thank you for the envie full of goodies. I especially like the map postcards. I'm sad that I can't use the teabags. I only use ones that are factory sealed. I think most of the members would agree with me. Oh, the foreign postage stamps are cool too.
Comment: Hi Matt! Thank you for the postcard. I haven't seen one stylistically tilted like that so I found that interesting. Maybe one day I'll finally get to see that city. Hope all is well.
Comment: Thank you so much for the cards! The only time I have been in Chicago was when I was in O'Hare Intl Airport. I loved seeing the view while flying over the city. My favorite band is also from there (Fall Our Boy).
Comment: Thank you for the beautiful chicago postcards! I am actually planning a trip down to the windy city in May to see Van Goughs art exhibit, hope your staying warm this winter hasn't been a joke 😁
Comment: Great postcards. Thank you. Anytime you have more than one swap to me, stick them blank in envelope. Save postage and my favorite way to receive!
Comment: Hi Matt! Love the pc and thanks for the share about your week! Bummer that you cut yourself, hopefully it is healing without an issue! Wishing you all the best! Hugs and Happy Swapping! ;)
Comment: Thanks for the lovely PC.
I was flying in a small Piper Cub from the age of five but never flew in a commercial airliner until 1980, when I was 28 years old.
Comment: Thank you so much for this beautiful Hawaii postcard. I love it! And thank you for the information about the endangered species in the island, it makes me really sad to hear that a lot of the state native birds are extinct.
Comment: Hello, Matt! My name is May. I've received the package of postcard from you. It's awesome. Thank you! I hope you can visit my country one day (Bali is very popular I guess). I hope you have a great day. Stay safe. Love from Indonesia.
Comment: OMG I have this same set of postcards and I absolutely love them! It's so hard to find funny postcards sometimes. Thanks so much! Take care :)

Comment: Thanks for the postcard. Congrats on graduating. That is a wonderful accomplishment. Good luck with the job interview. Sorry for the loss of your grandmother.
Comment: Love the disney card as I didnt have it yet. The quote is so true. But I do not fish as I tell the old man I am smarter than the fish already and dont need a fishing pole to prove it, im more of a swim with the fish not catch the fish gal...
Comment: Thank you for the cute terrier postcard. I love terriers! Also thank you for the random facts about you. Congratulations on earning your Master's Degree! It is a huge accomplishment that I know you've worked hard for. Enjoy!
Comment: Thank you for the beautiful postcard from Florida. I love the ocean views. I wish we were able to go to the beach right now actually. This whole weekend is going to be 85 degrees which is unheard of in Portland this early.
Comment: Hi thank you for the disney villans postcard! I had the evil queen, now i have the queen of hearts! I might start trying to collect the rest. Thank you :)
Comment: Hello Matt - thank you for the postcard and letter. I am glad that you are able to continue school and work remotely during this time. I am lucky too and have been working at home as a Head Start teacher. My summer break starts May 24th though and I am really hoping to get to spend some time outside (fingers crossed) In my state it is not required to wear masks yet, but there is whispers that it will be that was soon, Stay safe and enjoy the little things....Justme72 (Martha) and thanks again for the smile mail
Comment: Thank you for the card! I hope you're staying in as much as possible too - my dog makes it impossible not to go out, he's so sad no one pets him anymore!
Comment: I had to laugh at this PC - I may or may not have "stalked" people online...you know, you can learn so much about a person from facebook, oops! I hope all is well with you, stay safe and stay healthy!

Your friend,
Harley (has Hilary) ;)
Comment: Thank you for the view of one of my favorite cities, I love NYC! We’ve been there last year, and definitely want to go back...to visit some more of the 25,000 restaurants 😜
Comment: Hi Matt! Thanks for your card ands the quote, very thoughtful! Heres a related quote for you:
“I never had a dream in my life because a dream is what you want to do but still haven’t pursued. I knew what I wanted and did it til it was done, so I’ve lived the dream that I wanted so since day one!”
—-“Lucy” by Aesop Rock
Comment: This NYC card is so neat! I'm going to send a photo to my friend. He goes into the city a lot, but I've never seen him send this one. :) Thank you for the fun trivia, too!!
Comment: Thank you for the postcard with cool stamps! I have a few friends in San Antonio and have heard good things about it, but never been. Good luck with finishing school this year!!
Comment: Thank you for the awesome French dental chart postcard and the quote. I definitely agree with it. "Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance." --George Bernard Shaw
Comment: Matt, thanks for the card and quote from Walt. I really like the postcard, it gave me a chuckle :) postcards of awkward Americana sound like fun! I hope you are well, and have a happy Thanksgiving! -- RJ
Comment: Oh my goshhhhhh!! I love French and plants🖤 I have a corkboard I put all my postcards on, this one is definitely going to be one of my favorites 😍😍 thank you very much!
Comment: Thank you for the great card of Commander David Scott on the moon. I loved everything about the space program especially after I met Dr Von Braun when we lived in Huntsville, AL when I was 14 in 1961. He came to my school and told us all about the rocket he was developing for the moon launch.
Comment: Thanks for the great PC and the quote.
The Turboliners never, as far as I know, operated on the Northeast Corridor so I never rode one. It wasn't until after 2000 that I travelled by rail in the midwest and they were all gone by then.
Comment: Great PC, Thanks.
Whenever I'm asked to "rate the pain on a scale of one to ten." I always tell them that I have never broken a bone or given birth to a child. That usually evokes a chuckle or a strange look as I am a male.
Comment: .Sorry for the delay in rating but my Mom was just given mail from the PO going back to April and your swap was in there.
Thanks for the postcard
Comment: Thanks Matt for the PC and for hosting! I never thought I would enjoy postcards so much...now it has become a nightly thing decorating and such.
Comment: That is too funny! We've gotten a little cooler here but only into the 50's. It usually stays fairly warm until November around here! Thank you!
Comment: Thank you matt for the PC and Shakespeare quote. I like Shakespeare plays. "we know what we are, but know not what we may be" Ophelia from Hamlet
Comment: Love the PC, beautiful! I am a firm believer in giving. We just finished with a North Texas Giving Day that raises tons of money for local charities. Thank you!
Comment: Thanks for the Chicago skyline postcard featuring (what I'd still call) the Sears Tower. Maybe buildings, like sports stadiums and arenas can have naming rights purchased these days? lol take care!
Comment: Hi Matt! Haha Funny postcard pic! I think they migrated from Michigan into Wisconsin, because I have seen them in our back yard! Nice quote, too. Thanks!!
Comment: Thank you for the card with cool bird stamps! We've also had a heat wave. It was nice seeing Chicago - it's been a few years since I was there in person!
Comment: Thank you for the great postcard from The Pickle Barrel. I love these restaurant postcards. The postcrossing meet up sounds like fun. Great place to get cards.
Comment: Thank you so much for the wonderful Chicago PC! We really enjoyed our visit there. I even left part of myself there. I tripped on the uneven sidewalk stones around John Hancock tower and left some of my arm and shoulder there. So graceful. LOL!
Hugs,
Diane
Comment: Thank you for your Chicago-postcard and beautiful stamps! I hope it's more like spring already there where you live, at least here in Finland it's spring time finally!
Comment: Thank you for the great postcard from Arlington Park. I am thinking that is where the horses race in Chicago if I am correct. I would like to go there next time I visit Chicago.
Comment: thank you, for the card. I got to spend only one night in chicago a few years ago and i spent the day at the art institute, its a great museum. Its 46 degrees here tonight, but I know that seems super warm compared to there! stay warm over there!
Comment: Happy Halloween, Matt, and thank you for the star-spangled Star Wars postage card! I am also very excited for Episode VIII (and that forthcoming Solo film :)
Comment: too funny - I thought this was from my son at first (he is Matt as well and loves Star Wars) but then I realized he would have no way to send it! Thanks for the card.
Comment: Matt, thank you for the postcard of Chicago. I lived outside of the city in a small town called Woodridge. Only stayed for 2 1/2 years. Didn't like the weather although MA wasn't any better. NC is much better, not much snow. Shirley
Comment: I'm actually one of the half dozen people who hates Star Wars! :) And it was so intensely Star Wars-y. It works just fine though because I like anything post office and stamps related. Thank you.
Comment: What an amazing swap you sent me. I love all of the stamps, especially the baseball stadium ones. Can I possibly peel one off to use it my son would love It?
Comment: What a cool postcard! Long live 80's Rock! And definitely go for grad school...too few good people willing to take on the school councilor role these days. Thanks for the facts and the neat PC
Comment: I love Hawaii. I haven't been to Oahu but I have been to the Big Island and Maui. Thank you for hosting!
For the ratings checking nazis: this swap was postmarked August 28, well before the last day to send!
Comment: i LOVE that little slice of metal,
hahaha!
thanks for gifting me the little keepsake of pretty views
- it's generous of you to share great vacation memories with a
souvenir for an envious swapbotter
~ so very appreciated!
happy weekend/enjoy
the rest of summer!
Comment: Thank you for the Rogue One PC. I have been a Star wars fan since 1977. I love all the movies. We are taking our granddaughter to Disney World next month, she is also a Star wars fan.
Comment: i left in in the pile of received cards but didnt go rate it as i put it to the wrong pile, so sorry about the late rating. thank you for this beautiul swap :)
Comment: Thank you so much for the Chicago PC. We were there about 4 years ago and we really enjoyed our visit. My biggest surprise was the number of people who walk there. Southerners are lazy. You might have one or two people waiting to cross at the corner here, not fifty plus like we saw there. While we were there I fell on the sidewalk outside the Hancock Tower so rather than my heart, I left some of my hide in Chicago. LOL!
Hugs,
Diane
Comment: Thanks! I find it very cool that you used a Rhode Island postage stamp on this card. I'm in Rhode Island and I've NEVER seen that stamp. I will definetly have to ask the post office for that one. Thanks again and keep studying hard!
Comment: Thank you, thank you for the wonderful Episode VII card and Lucille Ball postage (I recently started watching I Love Lucy re-runs and remembered why this was my first "adult"/non-kids' show as a child :), Matt! I am looking forward to The Lost Jedi as well, although I can't say that I want time to rush; I still get surprised how fast time flies when a film that I have been anticipating for years is ready to open :)
Comment: We have been teamed up for a lot of swaps here lately. Must be the time of year. Not too many people swapping because of the holidays. Have a great day.
Comment: Thank you for the Santa Claus PC. I have had a very happy new year so far. We bought theatre seating to go with our 65" TV we bought for Christmas.
Comment: Matt hank u for putting a smile on my face today. I absolutely love Winnie the Pooh and Christmas. This made me happy. Thanks. Happy new year.
Comment: Thank you for the lovely postcad. The weather isnot sure what it wants to do. Since before Christmas it has been 80 degrees. Today its about 60 and I am freezing lol. I hope your staying warm.
Comment: Hi Matt, good to meet you in the mail..., and good to read in your bio that you're trading PCs again.... We need more deltiologists! All best to you for the New Year... "eepy"
Comment: Hi, thank you for the Santa postcard - and yes, the weather in California is sunny! Not quite warm hereabouts but a sweater and a scarf and you're set.
Comment: Thank you for the adorable, cheerful elf card that reminds me of David the Gnome, a childhood favorite, and features one of my favorite fonts, Edwardian Script :) I also really like the Holiday Windows stamps. Happy Rogue One week!
Comment: I got 2 Big Swap 13 postcards from you, so I'm assuming one of them was supposed to be for Big Swap 14? Thanks either way.
Update: Got a card for 14, so I guess it was just 2 for 13. Love this comic book cover one.
Comment: Thank you for your kind Thanksgiving wishes and super-cool chess-themed Star Wars card, Matt :) Hope you and your loved ones had a great holiday as well!

Comment: Belated thank you for the Trade Federation card, Louisiana vintage postcard-style stamp, and kind greetings, Matt! (I found your card while cleaning the living room just now; it was underneath a magazine on the coffee table. I will have to gently remind my family to give my mail to me when/if they get it before I do.) Hope you have a good week! ♥
Comment: Thank you for the excellent Mace Windu card and lovely Lucille Ball stamp, Matt! I sometimes wish Samuel L. Jackson had whooped Ian McDarmid/Palpatine in Episode III, heheh. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!
Comment: Hi Matt! What a fantastic Cardinal card! I collect Cardinals as they were my now deceased friend's favorite bird. She always said when we see a Cardinal we know she is checking up on us. So thank you so much! And of course the Wisconsin stamp rocks! Isn't it great some of those oldies now can be used as postcard stamps? Happy Swapping!
Comment: Thank you for the spiffy Star Wars card, Matt! I smiled to see a strong females in Star Wars article in today's New York Times :) Looking forward to Rogue One next month! Hope you are well.
Comment: Thank you for the cool Wisconsin map postcard with the badger hanging out in the bottom corner! This made it all the way here without the nice Wyoming stamp being cancelled! Ha! :)
Comment: Matt, thank you for the postcards and of course the first one you sent by mistake. The cherry pir postcard recipe sound delicious but my husband is pushing 240 and doesn't need pie or any sweets. Shirley
Comment: I'm giving you a heart because it was my first ever mail in my new place, ive been down lately and the postcard reminded me why i'm doing what i'm doing, thank you:)
Comment: Thank you for the postcard :) My husband thought it was so cool that you had an Ohio stamp !! My son (4yrs old) took the post card to add to his collection. He loves goats. :)
Comment: Thank you for the penguins and pelicans :) I've actually never been to Chicago, but it's definitely on the list of places I'd like to visit, and maybe even go to school
Comment: Hi Matt, I like the postcard Chicago, and your Spanish is improving a lot, keep it up. Thank you very much.
--------------
Hola Matt, me gustó mucho la postal de Chicago, y tu español está mejorando mucho, sigue asÃ. Muchas gracias

Comment: I love the postcard, Matt! I'm happy your dog brings you so much joy! My poodle cross is one of the best things in my life too! 😊 Take good care!
Comment: I had never heard of Al Johnson's Restaurant so I Googled it. Omg! Thank you for sending the pc. I enjoyed reading about the restaurant and "live entertainment" on the roof!
Comment: Thanks for the flea market card! I went to the 3rd Sunday market in Bloomington, IL a few weeks ago.
I saw about half and had to call it a day. Lots of stuff!
Comment: Matt, I wish I had an antique mall to visit every month, although I probably would be disowned by my husband. I love antiques and my home shows it. Shirley
Comment: Belated thank you for the Hamlet-esque Star Wars Tales cover with Darth Vader holding Threepio's head! Hope you are enjoying this first fall day :)
Comment: Belated thank you for the Jabba the Hutt card, Matt! I am looking forward to this fall's Rogue One spin-off film. Happy first day of Autumn :)
Comment: Thank you for the post card. The rummage sales sound like something I would like. I've been to West Bend but a little too far for garage sales. Thanks again.
Comment: Hi Matt!
Thank you for the Lake Geneva postcard featuring a beautiful sunset. Enjoyed the Greetings from IL stamp also. It's funny, I am pretty sure I used to have a postcard featuring that very image of Chicago's lakefront.
Comment: Belated thank you for the cool Princess Leia comic card, Matt! I love the colors, and her Hoth outfit/"headband" braid is among my favorite Star Wars costumes :) Happy first day of September (insert Earth, Wind, and Fire :)
Comment: Thank you for the post card. A zoo is one of my favorite places. I love all animals ( except reptiles ) but always feel a little sad because they can't run free. Thanks again.

Comment: Hi Matt,
thank you for your postcard with the pretty cool stamps! Oh I wish you would be here, we need people you make the roads a better place! :) Have a great summer.
Comment: What a cool oversized b&w! My mom and I went to Providence, then Newport, a few years ago. I loved the marker or memorial on a pillar in the Biltmore showing how high floor waters once got. Kind of scary! Cool old hotel with lots of their own memorabilia. Loved their menus with prices in the hallway.
Comment: Matt, thank you for the postcard from Rhode Island. What a lovely place to have a wedding then one of the mansions in Newport. Do you remember which mansion it was? I am curious. Shirley
Comment: Belated thank you for the whimsical Jelly Belly card, Matt! I remember as a kid just loving reading the flavor names and descriptions and marveling at the colors. (My apologies for a late rating; I am still getting caught up after being given a stack of mail that had arrived in late May/early June while I was out of town but had been withheld by a family member.) Happy Wednesday!
Comment: Thank you for the Count Dooku (may Christopher Lee rest in peace) card, Matt! I think one of the most shocking scenes (still) in all of Star Wars filmdom was the beginning of Episode III in which the Count was totally incredulous that Sidious would so casually command Anakin to kill him. Hope you are having a good week!
Comment: Awww I loved this Pixar short! I used to watch it with the kids at the summer camp I worked at for many years. So not "ugly" for me, but nostalgic. (One mans trash...) Thanks :)
Comment: (I guess the card took the scenic route coming?) Thank you for the cool Princess Leia card, Matt, and for sharing with me that moment you decided to help shape young minds as a teacher :) Happy weekend!
Comment: Great postcard, Matt! Thanks! My dog, by the way, is a pit/boxer/beagle mix. Hard to know for sure since he's a pound puppy. Happy 8th to Cody- he's the same age as my Nelson.
Comment: Thanks for the awsome Star Wars card me and my dad just went and saw the most recent one in 3 d I have watched them all with him over the years! Hugs
Comment: Thank you for the San Francisco skyscraper card. It looks extra cool to see the skyscraper on the large rectangular card. I visited San Francisco a long time ago.
Comment: Thank you for another great Star Wars card (and for sharing with me one of your favorites!) and Battle of New Orleans stamp (also one of my favorites) -- I think as a child, I didn't appreciate Hoth as much as I did revisiting The Empire Strikes back more recently :) Happy Tuesday!
Comment: What an amazing card. Thank you so very much. I bet that was an incredible place to visit. Will have to add that destination to my dream travel list. All the best!
Comment: Thank you so much for the great Millennium Falcon card, May the Fourth greeting, and Battle of New Orleans stamp, Matt! Hope you are having a good weekend!

Comment: Thank you for the beautiful vintage Saks card (it reminds me of "How the Other Half Lives" from Thoroughly Modern Millie, although she references the Fifth Avenue location :) and for sharing more about yourself -- what great places to live, all of them! Two autumns ago, I loved seeing the gorgeous Connecticut stops when I rode Amtrak down to NYC from Boston. Happy weekend!
Comment: Thank you for the beautiful Green Hornet card, Matt! I hope to visit the Illinois Railway Museum one day, too -- I have not yet been to Chicago :) Happy weekend!
Comment: Thank you for your local postcard. I've only visited Chicago once, and unfortunately it was to switch planes at Midway airport. I would like to visit again on a more pleasant day.
Comment: I totally love the postcard. I am a big Tampa Bay Rays fan and attend games regularly. I became obsessed with baseball a few years ago so I am pretty excited about this card. I am travelling to Boston next week. I will be making a clandestine visit to Fenway....but don't tell anybody...I don't want to be barred from the Trop if anyone finds out.
Comment: Thank you for the postcard of old New York. My best friend's mother lives there, so I've visited a few times. I wouldn't want to live there, but it's an awesome place to visit.
Comment: Hi Matt!
Awesome Star Wars postcard ! Love it! I would read them all too. Looks like some great comic art. Ive been to some comic cons and have met a few of the comic book artists, they are so nice and their talent is crazy!!

Comment: Thanks for the dog postcard! I love dogs so much! My dog, Gulliver, is a ten year old border collie mix who loves treats and barking at thunder!! Maltipoos are so cute! I'm sure he's a good pal!
Comment: Thank you for the beautiful Golden Gate Bridge PC Matt! I have been to San Francisco but never visited Alcatraz, I would like to do that, I bet it was very interesting!
Comment: Thank you so much for the great Luke speeder bike card and World Stamp Show postage, Matt! Return of the Jedi is up there with A New Hope as my favorite of the Star Wars film; I also dislike Episode II :) I am eager to see how Episodes VIII and IX are... as well as the stand-alone young Han Solo film with Alden Ehrenreich. Hope your week is off to a good start!
Comment: Thanks for the great card of the Chicago "L"! I love trains and, in fact, have had the opportunity to ride the "L" a few times when I have been in Chicago. It is one of my favorite cities to visit.
Comment: Matt, thank you SO much! I love the postcards I got, and I got the message that the fourth is coming separate. Thanks so much!! The history museum sounds like a neat place to visit! ***Update: I got the puppy postcard! He's so adorable! Thank you!!***
Comment: Awesome postcard! I love it! I am a big Star Wars fan too. My favorite is The Empire Strikes Back. Least favorite is episode 2 Attack of the Clones.
Comment: Thank you for the awesome postcard of my favorite Baseball team. I've been a cubbie fan for many, many years and collected baseball cards. My favorite is Ryne Sandburg. I have over 500 of his cards and have made a scrapbook of the cubs. So glad they are doing so good right now. Just hope they can keep there momentum going.
Comment: Hey! Thanks for this PC! It has a really interesting look, something I don't come across often! Good luck teaching!! You're going to be busy. ;)
Comment: Great selections! I just love Chicago! Grant park is one of my favor places! I love Buckingham fountain! I went last in 2013. Would love to go back. Ate at yolk and fell in love with the red velvet French toast! Thank you for the great cards!
Comment: Thank you for the cool vintage postcards and for your added generosity in including postage! I love the charming pharmacy, and the other other views (especially the Hilton card) reminded me a bit of Mad Men :) Hope you are having a good weekend!
Comment: Hi Matt! Received your pc today from the Windy City! I did not know that Chicago was the 3rd most populous city in America! LOVED the pc and enjoyed that tidbit of information! Thank you!
