    I love Postcrossing as well, although I'm no where close to 100+ cards. Love the video and style Richard, well done.

      Same. I no longer send official cards only because I don't want the recipient to delete the picture uploaded in the Sent category. I do trades in the Postcrossing Forum. However, not many because what people offer I don't have interest in. However I like playing games you can call it in the Everything Else section

    Hello Richard, I am so happy TH-cam recommended me your video. It was so interesting to watch! You were right, the first postcard from France you showed was underpaid. Postage rates were 1,40€ in 2020, they are now 1,50€, and it will increase to 1,65€ in 2022 😥 Postcrossing is going to be a very expensive hobby if continue like this! I like using old stamps in francs, so that I can use many of them instead of one in euros € !
    Hope to see more videos about Postcrossing on your channel! 🙂

    • @RichardPhilatelist
      @RichardPhilatelist  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you so much for watching and the information. I’m happy you enjoyed it.
      And I just realised on 21:46, the stamp is 1.4FRF not 1.4Euro, another underpaid postcard…
      So, do you still use the rate 1FRF=0.152Euro to covert Franc stamps to Euro?

    • @pteris9380
      @pteris9380 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @Richard Philatelist haha yes, I forgot to mention that 1,40 stamp that was in francs not in euros 😂 maybe the person who used it didn't know, as the currency isn't clearly stated on the stamp. There is another stamp on the postcard but I don't see any information on it, that's weird 🤔
      Yes, I still use that rate (0,15...francs) to convert into euros 😄

      @@RichardPhilatelist Hello, I am French. In France, stamps on postcards (not on envelopes) are validated in 99.5% of cases, even if the value is insufficient. It’s not "legal" but it works, so a lot of French people on postcrossing use cheaper stamps. The old stamps are also much more beautiful than the few available in euros. Today in 2023 an international stamp costs €1.80.

    greetings from your relatively new follower in coastal Goa in India. I really loved how you presented this video ... very spontaneous :) I would like to mention I rejoined postcrossing only a few months earlier under a new ID and am here to stay. One more thing you should know, I did receive postcards in an envelope on November 10 from my Finnish stamp swap partner on vacay in Spain with a snail sketch on cover and pretty soon :) Keep up the good work bro ... loving your content. I hope to see you come up with a post on Indian philately too. I have begun following you on IG as well.

    Remember: do not write anything at the bottom of the card. Post offices run a barcode at the bottom. Postcrossing is very good at tracking down the register # if it is hard to read.
