A little less than one week ago I made a quick doodle on Card 0/1000 and dropped it in the mail. This was a test. Having had some bad luck in the past with the reliability of the USPS, I wanted to get a clear picture of how long it would take for mailed cards to arrive as well as what sort of physical shape the cards were in on arrival.

I stopped by the PO Box today and lo-and-behold, there was my card! As I expected, the USPS added a few different metering stamps to both the front and back of the card but nothing worth any concern.

IT’S TIME TO START DISTRIBUTING CARDS!!

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in life, it’s never trust things will work out the way they are supposed to. Okay, so maybe that’s a bit melodramatic but the reality is, in my life at least, things don’t often happen in the manner I had hoped, planned or expected… especially when dealing with the United States Postal Service.

Before I start distributing the pile of 1,000 white cards which are sitting patiently in a box to my right, I thought I should clear up any final worries I have and simply drop a test card in the mail. I’m curious to see how long it takes to find its way into the PO Box and what sort stamps/printing the USPS adds to postcards these days which could ultimately interfere with the artwork on the cards.

So let’s bid farewell (at least for a short while) to card 0/1000. I’ll post an update when it arrives back at the PO Box.
