I agree with this, if I ever bought illustration cards I’d want to send those out. I definitely prefer to have mine written so I’d be trading up a storm, probably.
Once a few years ago I got a Statue of Liberty postcard.
It felt a little surreal since I’m in NYC. Haha

One of the few boxes I owe I had to carry all the way from Wales to Greece, because my country is not famous for its non-touristic cards let alone boxes (more like a joke!)
Do you know an online shop that has some variety and sends ABROAD? Because usually I find a wall saying “we only ship to US and Canada” or “we need 25$ to ship to greece, and you might get charged with customs tax”(meaning another 10-15)
Any European postcrossers that can provide websites for stationary and cards will be forever thanked!

This one is a great one. It was probably one of the first postcard books I bought. I particularly remember how I obtained it–I found it at a museum store sale for $3 and the museum employee ringing me up remarked that I had gotten incredibly lucky with the deal!

Same. It was super weird the one time I got a postcard of the Golden Gate Bridge when I actually live in the Bay area.
You might try asking in the “Where to get postcards” forum:

I don’t own any of these boxes, but I keep looking at them on amazon and telling myself I don’t need more postcards:
I have the following set of cards and I love them, but I am sad that they don’t come in a box:

? How do they stay in the cover are they glued in?
What a good topic! I was so interested in looking at all your boxes, I immediately wanted a lot. I still have the postcards in my Shoe box.

I would love to receive any of these cards, if I have anything you’d be interested in trading for. I don’t have any box sets myself, I’m new to postcards and most of what I have is vintage. Anyway let me know if we can work on a deal!
Edit to add letters I’d be particularly interested in:

There’s no cover. They were just wrapped in cellophane.
I forgot to say these are lovely alphabet cards. I don’t have any cool cards to trade but maybe one day I’ll buy the book!

I would be a little sad too. They are super aesthetic, shame they didn’t get a box
Edit: after a couple hours (help I’ve been browsing postcard boxes and now I can’t stop) I wanted to share.
This ‘Light of 365 Days’ set I saw on etsy is lovely!
It glows in the dark and is now in my ‘future purchases’ wishlist:
I noticed the soft or watercolor themed ones are usually Asian.
While the more modern looking minimalistic angular styles are usually Western. Just an observation.

I know there is a postcrosser who would send out Pantone cards with illustrations drawn on them. I even faved those cards but I couldn’t find them in my fav now.

I have a few long distance but close German friends. I’m interested in receiving from there. What do you do for fun?
As far as the Pantone cards go, when I send them I match the colors on the back as much as I can with pens, washi, stamps, stickers, whatever.

I just happened to receive some Lantern Press postcards via the official site and I fell in love with them! They are soooooo pretty. But as I’m not sending cards from the USA, I wouldn’t buy them to send.

This is my favourite postcard box:
I’ve kept about 20 cards to one side that I don’t want to be parted from. 
Recipients seem to have liked them - it’s a curious mixture of old and new art from Royal Academicians.

Since others have been talking about national parks postcards above, I discovered that there’s a new postcard box for US national parks coming out April 2021:
I’ll be interested to hear what people think of it if they’re able to obtain a copy.

I just bought this one recently and I think the postcards inside are amazing. I have yet to send out any of these though.
