Second letter, also a postcard!

This is a postcard to New York via postcrossing.  This one is out of my Where’s Waldo postcard collection.  The recipient of this postcard is a teacher and she said she shares the postcards with her class.  I thought her class might like to look for Waldo.  Can you find Waldo?  I’m not including a large resolution scan of the postcard.  An extra two points to you if you can find Waldo and the other things.

The other things are listed in that box.

Look!  Only one stamp this time!

In other news, related to that postcard swap I was talking about yesterday, we exchanged mailing addresses today in order to send said postcards.  Guess how the salutation at the beginning of his email went.  “Hello Ms. Physh.”  Hahahahha!  I am adopting Ms. Physh for all my future semi-formal/formal occasions when I wish to remain relatively anonymous.

First letter, posted!

This is a postcard to Ukraine via postcrossing.  It’s one of the many comic book cover postcards I have in my collection.  This particular one is issue #1 of Sandman.

If you look at the back…

You’ll note the ridiculous number of stamps I put on the postcard.  That’s because I forgot that postage rates have been raised.  It’s now 1.05$ to send a postcard internationally (excepting Canada and Mexico, I believe that’s 0.85$).  So, poor planning meant that I crammed a lot of stamps onto this postcard.  Also, don’t be harping that the USPS is always raising rates.  Whose fault is that, really (we will disregard the weird pension plan the USPS is forced to use right now)?  Write more letters, you.

In other news, I have secured my first postcard swap via lettermo.  I’ll be making this one, so the post will be up some time later.
