I'm up to 19 total cards between the two exchanges.

I'm a bit disapppointed -- not at all with the cards -- but with the condition when they arrive. The automated sorting equipment at the USPS is chewing up the edges and in some places eating through the surface of the picture side as the wheels spin against them. That's true of EVERY card except the Toth's that they sent in an envelope.

I've bought a number of 90 year old used lighthouse post cards on ebay and am amazed at what good condition most of them are in.

Is this the price we have to pay for progress?
