Thanks Stephen, I appreciate your support!

Thanks for the shout-out! The more videos about how to get these postmarks, the better.

You are welcome. Thanks for the great video on pictorial postmarks!

Thanks for the video, Smokey. I don't know of such a pictorial postmark service in New Zealand. Neat!🙂

[@SnailmailwithSmokey]

Hi Charnie! I have been wanting to try the service for a while but just mailed out my first requests. I am excited to receive my cards back in the mail. Thanks so much for watching!

Hey Smokey, nice video about Postcrossing. I do have a login, but haven't tried yet. Will try to send my first postcard. Thank you for sharing! 😊

[@SnailmailwithSmokey]

I think you will really enjoy postcrossing, It is a great hobby filled with wonderful people. Thanks for watching!

Hi Smokie, interesting video, haven't tried postcrossing yet! Maybe one day! Some useful info about the postmark but unfortunately i live in the UK! Take care

[@SnailmailwithSmokey]

Thanks so much for watching! I think you would enjoy postcrossing if you tried it.

Woohoo! Thanks for sharing the postcard themed pictorial postmark. You don't have to attend the meetup to get the cancel. It will be available at the USPS booth at the NAPEX Stamp Show in McLean, VA June 7 to 9, 2024. USPS will be stopping by the meetup to cancel postcards. The announcement about the postmark is usually published in the Postal Bulletin after the event. I recommend monitoring the Postal Bulletin to see when it might be available. You can probably direct mail to the McLean Post Office Postmaster. I will get the details at the stamp show and post here when I learn more.

Thank you for all the information about pictorial postmarks, a person could make a fun and exciting hobby collecting those alone. I hope you have a great time at the stamps show and meetup. Thanks for supporting my channel!
