Description:

These will be monthly swaps for ephemera lovers to stock up on ephemera goodies from other countries!

You will have 2 partners for this swap.

Please send each partner 6 pieces of ephemera. (Of course you can send more!)

Ephemera may be vintage or current, and may included postcards, ad cards, bus passes, take-out menus, business cards, bookmarks, price tags, receipts, book pages, labels, used mailing envelopes, letter and memos (typed or handwritten,) used postage stamps, sheet music, matchbooks, bookplates, tickets, greeting cards, visitor passes, hall passes, etc…

Please do not send your partner badly damaged or tattered items. There is vintage and used, and then there is trash. Send things you would like to receive.

To ensure that each person (hopefully) gets at least one international partner, ONLY TWO PEOPLE FORM EACH COUNTRY may sign up for this swap. Please state which country you are representing below, and be sure to check the status of people listed from your country before signing up. (Also, feel free to post below if it is okay for people to pm you about a private version of this swap if the slots for your/their country are full!)

Ratings: Participants must have a rating of 4.95 or higher with no recent 3 ratings. (If you have been rated with a 3, please pm before the sign up deadline to see if we can work something out. I know sometimes things happen so just let me know what’s going on :) ) Absolutely NO FLAKERS. It doesn’t matter how old your 1 rating is. I really do not want anyone to be flaked on, especially since this is an international swap! No Newbies this time. Sorry guys.

I am going to try this out with 2 people from each country first. If it works out well, I will keep it that way. If not, I will switch to 1 person per country.

PM me or post below with any questions. HAPPY SWAPPING!

Could someone please explain to me, what exactly is this ephemera? I tried swap-bot help, but it says, that it is practially anything printed, that isn't very much helpful :( I can see examples here too, but still I don't know where is this border "this is ephemera and that is not".

Salome, http://www.ephemerasociety.org/whatisephemera.html Let me know if this isn't helpful.

Akhenaten: thanks a lot, I think I'm beginning to understand :) I'm looking through that page and it seems interesting :)

Australia. Happy to do a private with anyone who wants to participate in the swap but can't due to their country's two spots being taken.

@oceanna I would love to do a private swap with you. I am in the US, but I am not sure how to set-up a private swap? Just pm me to let me know and I will get some items ready for you.

@oceanna I'd also do a private swap with you, but don't know how to set one up either. hehe If anyone else wants to one on one swap with me for local ephemera, I'd love to!

Singapore! I'd love to do swap with others as well. PM me if you like (: @oceanna & @dally I would love to do a private swap if we don't get each other in this swap.
