Blog > New postcard boxes roundup!
It can be tough to find interesting and unique postcards locally—maybe you’ve sent them all before by now, or maybe you just don’t live in a very photogenic area. Don’t worry! Every so often, we do a little roundup of boxes of postcards that you can get online, which is a very cost-effective way to get your hands on some lovely designs.
Here’s another 20 boxes of 50 or 100 postcards that we haven’t featured recently.

I had no idea that some of my childhood favourites were out there on postcards, so that’s my next stop… though that Button Box set is pretty tempting too (every card has a little bit of history about the significance of the pin it displays!).
As always, we’d love to hear any suggestions you have to share in the comments!

Would Postcrossing recipients mind such postcards? I suppose one can trim a little off the perforated side so that they look more orthodox :)
Thank you for the tittles.
You can use an emery board nail file to smooth the perforation of a postcard book card. It's cheap and works very well.
When I have postcards like these, I use a paper cutter gadget to trim the perforated edge.
For what it's worth, I love getting the box set cards too, but I was never particular on the definition of a "postcard" - as long as it is written with heart. Some of us are here to collect, some to connect :)
There are also independent artists who sell their own art on postcards - it is difficult to get a deal with a big publisher to make the formal boxed set possible, and from what I hear, when you do, the publisher keeps most of the proceeds. Some of my favorite "indie" postcard artists /designers in my country are LouPaper, TrendyPostcards, The Writerie, and Piles Of Postcards. I am also an artist who does this (MNJohn). A good way to discover new ones who are still very very small is to search on Etsy - you can filter the results locally, and discovering a new postcard artist is such a joy.
postcards in boxes!

I also agree that this is a good perspective on postcrossings motivations. <3
It's nice, but the cards are smaller than the average Postcard and it is - big surprise - dominated by all male bands and that made me a little sad. Because there are so many awesome women and genderqueer Artists especially in Punk / Post Punk.
I think boxes like these are a good way to fulfill wishes of the reciepiant and they are also a good way for people who don't have a lot of money to participate in postcrossing. I love the Nasa Box, I've already bought it for the second time because the images are just awesome, many people are interested in space themed postcards and I also love recieving them.
To me every card is welcome (with very few exeptions).

Maybe one of you considers to start such a round robin group too... you could even do so in the forum in your own language (like we to in the German group) or make it international in English.
It's great fun and you can send out these strange cards that otherwise would remain in the bottom of the box... which is a sad destiny for any card.
But I'm worry about.... maybe it's little weird that I sent a bookstore (e.g.in US) from Taiwan to another country.
Well maybe it's OK just the postcard is good. :)
