Listen "Mangled Mail: A Look at Postcard Mishandling and Damage"
Episode Synopsis
Getting a postcard in my mailbox that's not mangled is remarkable. Postcards get damaged in the mail. A lot. In fact, it's a surprise when I get a card that's unmarred. I've noticed the same reaction with others in the postcard community, who write with delight about receiving the rare undamaged card with words like, "This looks like it was hand delivered." Sadly, undamaged postcards are few and far between. Which led me to The Great Postcard Quality Project and this look at mangled mail. You can find the complete writeup at ThePostcardist.com. It includes lots of photos of the damage. Other links in this show include: Grading collectible postcards DNA from 100-year-old postcards Pokemon Go Postcard Book Postcards from places I'd like to go
