I figure this is the best place to ask this question. :grinning: What are these types of postcards called? The type that has the City or Country name with all the info about the City/ Country. I love these types of cards and wanted to make sure I have to the correct name for these. Picture is for an example, hope you can see it ok?

They are called Greetings fromā€¦ or GF in short. But thereā€™s also the vintage Greetings fromā€¦ cards from the US (with the large letters). Better mention precisely for which ones youā€™re looking :slight_smile:

I do get a bit sad seeing GF in wishlist, then realize itā€™s for those Postallove series instead of the regular US ones that I haveā€¦

The Idaho card shows up as in stock for me when I click my link above. Or try searching ā€œIdaho Postcard Fairā€ on Amazon and it should be the one of the top results :slight_smile:

I sent the ā€œbig lettersā€ series to people who mentioned ā€œGreetings Fromā€ on their profiles. I later found out about the Postal Love series and realized thatā€™s probably what those members were referring to :woman_facepalming:t2:
