There are so many shaped postcards out there. I would love to see the different types of shaped postcard that other Postcrossers have sent or received. Although there is a topic about Unique material, Unusual, 3D/Lenticular Postcards , I don’t think there is a specific topic to share shaped postcards like a gallery yet (please correct me if I’m wrong). Shaped postcards are more common, varied, and easier to get compared to unusual material postcards so I think they deserve their own topic.
So please share any shaped postcard you have sent or received, from official or swap, or perhaps ones that you have cherished for yourself!
I will start with some of mine.

I prefer standard sized cards, but shaped cards are quite nice once in a while

Found more from my old album of received shaped postcards from an RR.
Fom China
From The Philippines
It looks like a handmade from cardboard but it’s actually a professionally printed recycled paper made by
