Description:

This is a take on my PC Swap - Only 1 Person From Each Country.

RULES: You will send one store bought postcard from where you are from to 20 partners. The catch is that ONLY 1 PERSON FROM EACH STATE CAN JOIN. You must send a postcard of YOUR state, NO representing other states. Once you join please post a comment stating what state you are from. If you see someone else has already joined from your state then you cannot join in this round. This way everyone will get 20 postcards from 20 different states. This swap will end up costing $5.60 in postage. So please do not join if you cannot afford to participate. I will keep this swap open until we have each state represented or 30 days have passed, whichever comes first. If we are really close to all 50 states I may extend the time a little longer. You will have a week to get your postcards out to your partners once the swap ends.

ALL postcards are to be sent naked, with the swap name, your swap name, and the date! Please include a short note on the back.

I hope it works! I may be editing this as time progresses to possibly change the partner amount if people think this is too many. I just want to try and get as many different state postcards out of this as possible. But please do provide me with your inputs.

NO NEWBIES!!! Since this is a big swap I am requiring all participants to have at least a 4.6 rating. I will ban if I deem necessary & I will angel if needed. If anyone else can angel as well please include that in your comment.

i'm thinking of signing up, but can you tell me... are the pc's supposed to be anything we want? or a touristy pc with the state name? or a touristy pc just from somewhere in the state? sorry for all the questions. just want to get it right. thanks!

TabbyJay 08/ 1/2010 #

The postcard must be a touristy pc from the state you live in.

I have some West Virginia postcards, but I'm not actually in West Virginia. If that would still fit the bill and no one from WV signs up by the 23rd, PM me and I'll see if I can't hop in! (I'll check tomorrow to make sure there's at least 20 WV postcards still at the store, heh.)

I may or may not extend this date I have not decided yet. We do have over 20 states so everyone will get a different state regardless. But the states that are missing are rare states and I would like to give everyone an opportunity to get a card from one of those state, I'll see how I feel about it tomorrow. Thanks everyone so far for joining!

Any chance you make an International version of this one? =) Or, I could do it if you don't mind!

TabbyJay 08/27/2010 #

I have an international version, allowing one person from each country I am not running it at the moment though. Feel free to host one if you want.

Francy0212 08/27/2010 #

Tnx, I'll see if I have spare time enough in the next few days!

MissiveMaven 08/29/2010 #

Wow, Rhode Island is a "rare state?" Cool! Lucky me. Rhode Island in the house.

qwerty2k 08/29/2010 #

Does the state name need to be on the front of the postcard? Can a city or landmark name be on the front instead?

TabbyJay 08/30/2010 #

As long as it is a place in your state.

I will be assigning partners tomorrow. 40 states is a great outcome and I hope everyone adds some new great postcards to their collection!

pixieval 08/30/2010 #

I went to the visitors center and bought 20 great postcards that I feel really represent North Dakota! I put all the postage on them last night too, I'm super excited!

MissiveMaven 08/30/2010 #

I just went out and bought a bunch of representative Rhode Island postcards, too (I wasn't sure about the state name so they all say Rhode Island somewhere on the front, even if just the common RI abbreviation) - don't have the postage on 'em yet, but I'm very excited about starting the swap tomorrow. Yay!

nancysaurusrex 08/30/2010 #

I can do Oklahoma.

nancysaurusrex 08/30/2010 #

I didn't sign up sooner because I couldn't find any PC's with Oklahoma on them! lol

I was determined though, and I wanted some of you to get the "rare" OK PC, and ventured out - I finally found some!! (=

nancysaurusrex 08/30/2010 #

I had a question about how you want them sent.. just to make sure I don't mess anything up.

You stated: "ALL postcards are to be sent naked, with the swap name, your swap name, and the date! Please include a short note on the back."

So, you want swap name, my swap name and the date on the front? and a short note on the back? Or EVERYTHING that you listed on the back? Sorry, just wanted to make sure.. I am fairly new to Swap-Bot. Thanks!

blubrrymffin 08/30/2010 #

I just found out today I am moving next week so sadly need to drop from this swap. So Alabama is now free. Sorry, I love these swaps though

TabbyJay 08/30/2010 #

Right everything on the back, just make sure to include the swap name and your swap name so it is easier for your partners to rate you. I look forward to swapping with everyone!!!

TabbyJay 08/31/2010 #

If anyone else is sending to multiple states other than FL please let me know...thanks!

leilx 08/31/2010 #

I can angel if needed

pixieval 08/31/2010 #

How do you go about earning hearts in a postcard swap?

TabbyJay 08/31/2010 #

It is pretty much up to the receiver whether they really like your postcard or not just like it many other swaps its all up to how well the receiver enjoyed what you sent.
