Someone in Czech Republic soon will be receiving 2 cards with consecutive ID’s from our home- one from me, another from my son 
That was fun!

64264264 I’ve got 2 postcards today. Both from Finland, both with a stamp of the same series (puppies, one Labrador, the other Dachshund, I believe), one via a round robin and one official, from 2 different ladies. But then now the coincidence: these 2 ladies were at the same Halloween Meetup where they signed lots of cards. The one lady has her name written on both cards, the other (like all the other participants) on only one. So, they must have formed minimum 2 groups and somehow one was able to sign the cards of the other group too

interesting coincidence, but it isn’t allowed to make the back of cards public. Therefore I flagged your post and asked an admin to delete the pictures.
Everyone can see it in the editing history and therefore an admin has to delete it 
Why would it be an issue when there was no address? It is understandable that address shouldn’t be shared but why not the text?
Because you don’t know if the sender agrees that it is made public what they wrote.
And because you agree to the Postcrossing Community Guidelines when you joined Postcrossing
Keep private information private. The addresses given to you are private information and can only be used for Postcrossing purposes. Do not share them with anyone or make them public on the internet. This also applies to what is written on the postcards you have received, so please do not scan it.

Many postcrossers have received postcards with 2 or even 3 consecutive ID numbers. But I have received 6

A couple days ago I got pinged in my local neighbourhood Facebook group by someone I’ve never met – they got my mail so they reached out to me once they figured out who I was. Turns out they’re also a Postcrosser! They were trying to enter in the ID on my card and it wasn’t working, lol! We are going to meet up soon so I can collect my card. My town is super small so the chances of finding another Postcrosser in the wild is really rare!

The first Chilean card arrived after travelling 39 days in economy class and the second was registered yesterday after travelling 121 days in priority class. 
Somehow you’d think it is the other way around.

My friend Paola visited finland earlier this year and wrote me a postcard, but it took like a month after she got back for it to arrive. Then a couple days later i get a postcard from finland by a Paula. I didn’t notice that it was a postcrossing card at first, so i got seriously confused haha.
And now my friend, who’s also a postcrosser, also recently got a postcard from finland by a Paula! They weren’t the same person though

Dunno what to make of this, but I just received two postcards with postcard IDs in sequence from what appears to be a postcrosser with multiple profiles.

@torgny it’s actually not that rare 
consecutive ID seems to happen a lot and there seems to be quite a few people with multiple profiles. The same happened to me once. I found it a bit strange that the sender didn’t write anything about drawing my address twice, both were generic/not so personal messages

I was checking my mums sent cards and saw she sent one to the same guy I had the week before. The real coincidence was that we chose almost the exact same postcard, despite both having 1000s in our collection. She had bought us each 2 in the motor museum in the summer and we picked 1 of each design to send him.
Disappointingly, mine expired. Knowing my mum still had the same one I had tried to send, she kindly let me have it. This time it arrived, followed by the first one 2 days later!! So this guy now has 3 of the 4 postcards she bought at the motor museum that day

Not that it came unexpected but it is something that others will rarely have encountered :
Our 4 last sent cards are sent from 4 different countries.

I was looking at a profile of a PXer in Greece and noticed the following coincidence - in August last year two Australian PXers were given their address. The cards sent were maximum cards issued by Australia Post in 2000 celebrating the handover of the Olympic Torch to Greece - one depicted the Parthenon and the other the Sydney Opera House. I have never seen either card from this stamp issue used in Postcrossing before. So twenty years from their issue, they were both sent to the same person in Greece only a week or so apart.
Totally off topic, but on three occasions I have walked in to a bar, in London, Suffolk and Jersey, and encountered people who I knew - makes you think that coincidence is a lot commoner than you would think!

I received on the same day, 2 consecutive cards from different places in USA
Received 2 postcards on the last day of the year from Newbies!! Not so extraordinairy but since starting postcrossing I love to receive First Ones!
I did not pay attention for a while.
One of the cards ia from Guam, new country - nr 99. Other from Austria - a reminder to check all Austrian cards of this year and almost forgot a follow up to an Austrian postcrosser who had sent an impresssive text. Check done.
If I sent to a new postcrosser I hope my card is arriving as first, sometimes it is.
