Good question! I thought it is separate… because many people ordered more than 20 postcards and I thuoght the other cards can also get the cancellation stamp (although I won’t have 100 )
Can you only get it on the stamps or also on the card if there are no stamps yet?
as far as I know they put postmarks only on stamps on cards, envelopes…
So it is possible to buy stamps in the museum too?? Otherwise could someone explain to me where I can definitely buy the stamps? I guess it must be at bigger post offices??
And can I bring a friend or are there too many people already? He isn’t a Postcrosser but got curious when I talked about it.
There will be a “mobile post office” in the museum during our meetup, which sells the postcrossing stamp.
But plz notice: they accept cash only. No credit or EC cards.
Otherwise you can buy the stamp in every post office in Germany.
And I will have some extra stamps with me at the meetup for postcrossers from abroad.
The special cancellation stamp for the meetup is only printed on stamps with a minimum value of 10ct. However, it does not necessarily have to be the Postcrossing stamp.
If the cancellation stamp (e.g. on an envelope) has already been printed on a stamp on one side, you can have an additional blank cancellation stamp printed on the same side, i.e. without a stamp.
Example or an additional blank stamp:
Of course you can do so. The museum is a public place after all.
Shall I add a “+friend” to the list next to your name? That way it’s easier for the organizing team to see how many people plan to come.
I love this card - would anyone accept a swap ? I will be going to the Pasadena, CA Meetup tomorrow for a future swap?
Yes! I would love to !!
I can’t say for sure If I will be able to come, so please add me under “maybe” on the list. This would be my first meetup ever.
I’m very sorry, but due to health considerations I need to cancel my participation
Sometimes it sucks to do the sensible thing…
Oh no
I can’t commit to October 7th yet, but I’ll see if I can set it up. Please make a note of maybe. Thanks.
Wie schade!! Ich wünsche dir gute Besserung!!
I think you can bring your cards to the Sonderstempelstellen. I don’t expect them to be able to get someting by person and sending cards in also needs postage - like you have to send them in a package…
And I can expect that they reject orders of hundreds of postcards just for sending out - not for collecting. Sonderstempelstellen are designed for stamp collectors I think.
Just wanted to say that the meetup is not the only place where you can get your cancellation mark.
In Berlin next week - attending a meet up on the 6th (Thursday) and will do my best to come on Friday as well. It would be great to meet some old friends again
Yes please, thank you!! I really can’t tell if he will be able to come or has to work, but we’ll see.
I arrive too late on the 6th, but will definitely see you on the 7th!! I will be in Berlin a few more days, going home the 10th, so I can also be a tourist.
