The lucky one was ES-888468, a postcard that traveled from Spain to the USA in 22 days!
Less than 2,500 postcards to go until Postcrossing hits 86,000,000 registered postcards... 🤯
It’ll probably happen later today — want to play along? Guess the sender and recipient countries of card 86 million in the replies!

Yellow German mailbox on a metal post covered in snow, with snow-covered bushes in the background
A snowy #PostboxSaturday from Germany! ❄️ David (aka duck2006) spotted his local postbox in a small town near Frankfurt a few weeks ago, looking very cosy under its thick snow “hat”! ☃️
Wooden postcard-writing booth with a red back panel covered in Korean text, a “How to” instruction poster on the left, and a smiling cartoon character in a postman hat on the right.
Bright red mailbox on a curved stand labeled “Naminara POST,” set beside a wooden hut and a tree.
Red-framed door labeled “NAMINARA REPUBLIC POST OFFICE,” with a snowman mascot holding a postcard in front and rustic wooden buildings behind it.
Look at this! Christa (aka dolldalera) visited the Naminara Republic (a micronation on Nami island, in South Korea 🇰🇷) and found the sweetest little postal setup: a cosy writing corner, a cheerful mascot, and a bright red “Naminara Post” box waiting for postcards. 😍 #PostboxSaturday #postcrossing
While children’s illustration since the 2000s ‘has tended to move towards simpler visuals often inspired by graphic and digital design’, Janet and Allan Ahlberg’s ‘The Jolly Postman’ is a valuable reminder of ‘the delights of staying analogue’, writes Kirsten Tambling
in the picture postage stamps are shown pasted on different parts of a post card and in different orientations. under each is a description of what it means. the texts read "i am faithful to you" "write at once" "in thoughts with you" "do you remember me" and more based on the orientation and location.

Instead of focusing on newly bought things, this forum topic instead encourages postcrossers to go through what they already have. Come brag about your empty postcard boxes and empty rolls of washi tape!
