Guidelines:
1. National Post Card Week and the date May 3-9, 2009 must be on the postcard, preferably on the front. 2009 is the 26th NPCW.
2. Your name or the club and mailing address should be on the pc, preferably on the front, I usually put mine on the back but this year trying to fit it on the front. It need not be large, just readable
3. Minimum size 3-1/2x5-1/2 inches - postal regulations
4. Maximum 4-1/4x6 inches anything over is $.41 postage(postage rate may change on First of May)
5. Minimum thickness is 90# card stock. Most use 110 card stock unless having printed by a printing company.
6. All postcards printed should be of the same design. You can make more than one design, and send them all. This would be considered one trade.
7. A minimum of 100 copies is recommended to give traders a chance to receive a copy.
8. To give card an extra worth, numbering them is an excellent idea. /100 on the back is okay.
9. Be sure to sign your name somewhere. A first name is okay, especially if it is odd like mine.:)
10. All NPCW week postcards should be mailed during NPCW week, especially those that are stamped. If you are signed up on more than one group, you need only send to the same person once. Have fun! Demaris
