AMERICANA FUN FACTS postcard set of 20 postcards. Iconic America and American culture post card variety pack. Made in USA.

A family member recently joined the Navy and is currently completing a stint at boot camp where no cell phones, social media, or computers are allowed. Cards and letters are the only allowable means of communication and staying in touch. I ordered three sets of different postcards to have available to hand out to friends and family to send. This set is the priciest of the three. The card stock is nice and thick which the ad states is the thickest the Post Office allows to be mailed without an envelope (that in itself was a fun fact!). The back of the card is just like any postcard with room for a few sentences and the accompanying address. The front is glossy print that is clear, crisp, and brightly colored with the fun fact highlighted in a white "bubble." The unique and attractive thing about this set are the fun facts about American icons. The trivia are interesting, entertaining, and educational. The subjects range from ice cream trucks, to banjoes, to crayons, to jelly beans, to school buses and loads more. As soon as the cards arrived the first thing I did was sit down, unwrap them, and read every single one; the information really was quite amazing with many making me smile. The purpose of the cards and letters sent to boot camp is not only for staying in touch but also to provide support and encouragement; if a little comic relief can be offered then that is only icing on the cake. These cards certainly do all of that making the extra cost, for me, quite justifiable. I highly recommend this set of post cards. Even in our IT world a card or letter always brightens someone's day! By the way just in case you are not aware, the Post Office has specific post card stamps which are cheaper than the Forever Stamps.

Amazing cards, great quality on print, thick paper , glossy and just fun! Great set with different themes , like food , sports and history Will order again

these were interesting and colorful! card quality was sturdy and good quality

Really terrific photo and card quality -- heavy enough to withstand international travel for Postcrossing. For the most part, these are great fun -- and little known -- esoteric factoids, with relevant and attractive photos. I can send these without fear of recipients having received similar cards. Would be great for teachers and for parents / grannies to use to instill an interest in children for 'discovering' new things. Plus, some of them sparked memories from my own retro past. [I can still smell the crayons....] Purchase without fear, and I predict that you will then review positively and with enthusiasm.

I am new to "postcrossing" - sending postcards to people all over the world. Sometimes people you know, many times new people you are put in touch with and may one day become fast friends with. Being from the USA I wanted post cards that I could send to my post-card pals that showed something about the US and these fit that criteria. They also have a little "dun fact" on each one that I thought would offer a little piece of interest to my postcard. I am an Aussie by birth, so these cards were also of a lot of interest to me, before I even sent them! The cards are on good quality card stock, and in a standard format and size for mailing. I was just a little disappointed that some of the "facts" were a little silly or childish, so perhaps might be taken the wrong way by more mature penpals. That's my only complaint. I guess this is where personal choice and being mindful of cultural diffferences is important. Sending with respectfulness in mind is always a good yardstick. Overall I liked these cards and 20 in a pack is good value!

Good purchase

Unusual subjects and common everyday subjects too. Quality cards. I'm very satisfied.

ORDERED THESE TO SEND TO GRANDSONS WHEN THEY WENT TO SLEEPWAY CAMP THIS SUMMER. THEY LOVED THEM. COLOR AND QUALITY OF CARDS WERE GREAT. SOME LITTLE-KNOWN FACTS ON THE CARDS WAS INTERESTING
