As at today, April 21, I have received 13 cards in a row, each one sent on the same date: April 3rd. Awesome, eh?
Has anyone received more than 13 sent on one date, all arriving in a row?
UPDATE: as at May 8, it’s now 15 in a row, all sent April 3rd. (picture not adjusted)

I just looked, my record is 14.

Did you re-activate your account on that day or take yourself off travel mode or something? Or was that just your lucky day!?

Just a weird day. No travel mode. No reactivation.

This has been happening routinely with me and my record is 16 cards that were sent on Dec 24th. My received count overtakes my sent and it takes me a month or two to catch up before I can receive cards again. I’ve slowed down with official Postcrossing, might just stick to the forum now.

After six weeks of inactivity I was assigned 30 postcards all on the same day. It was after I worked up a deficit of about 15 postcards.

That’s got to be hard to beat!!! 
ETA: …but I just remembered someone’s profile that I saw like this. A person I sent to once. I just counted 88 cards to them…all assigned on one day within the last two months. So I guess it’s not that uncommon!! Still….

so far i have 17 cards sent to me on 5 april.
i don’t like it though. i now have 12 more received cards than send, which means i won’t receive any officials for a while (as this happens quite often).

More than once. In May the mail delivery suddenly stopped (long Story, long discussion with Deutsche Post). When I finally received mail again after almost two weeks I had more than 100 pieces of Mail and around 45 official postcards 
.
It took me the whole day to register them and to be honest, it was the first time I thought about writing a standard Hurray and copy & paste it for all. However, I didn’t, because I won’t blame people who wrote nice cards for the fault of Deutsche Post.
It happened again in September, when we were on vacation. There I stopped the delivery and then Deutsche Post forgot me and it took another bunch of days before I got my mail. But this time for official only a handful, around ten, because I set myself to inactive weeks before.
Since then it happens every now and then that on some days my mailbox is completely empty and the other day a looooot of postcards.
But I must say, that I didn’t look if they were all sent on the same day, I was only happy to manage them all to register.

For a long time I tended to be active then inactive for long periods due to my money situation and so I think that’s why I had quite a few occasions with several cards assigned to me on the same day. 14 is the record but I saw lots of 7, 8, 9, 10 days too.

15 from April 3rd - I thought it might be because several countries have stopped delivery to Russia and Belarus, so my adress might be selected more often to make up for that, but then I realised that the first time it was given out after I reactivated my account on January 25th it was drawn 22 times!
I guess there are worse things but it’s a bit annoying since now I have 10 more received than sent and there are probably more on the way.

I thought it was just me 
My address was drawn 13 times on April 3. At the time I think I had 9 travelling. Anyway my limit is way shorter than 13 so I wonder how my address could be drawn that many times. I’m not complaining though.
P.S. Notice that April 3 was quite special for the postcrossing algorithm

It looks like the more cards you send, the more likely this will occur.
What is confusing to me is that I rarely get more than 2 or 3 cards a day to send, with long gaps sometimes of 5 or more days before another comes in to be sent.
April 3 was a Sunday. Maybe people wait until a Sunday to send cards??

… Hmmm maybe, the 6th Feb (with my 30) was also a Sunday… 
I know the algorithm usually (sometimes desperately) sends you more than you send, even from my beginnings in Postcrossing, I sent 5 in first two months, but got 7 back.
and aslo after inactive and travel mode, your address is dumped into the pool of addresses due postcards.
In that batch of 30 I also got a number of consecutive postcard ID’s from some of the most active countries.
@HookedonPostcards did you get a number of postcards registered in sucession, then a large gap before you registered a recieved postcard?
