The triangle design is pretty cool; I can't recall ever seeing one like that in the wild, but it looks like it's been a possibility since '97.

I wonder why the word Forever is struck out in the design. No mention about the design itself, just that it's available and a triangle.

I think it's so you can't print and try to use the image as actual postage.

To point out why USPS took note of them, there are unofficial Postcrossing tracking IDs recording nearly half a million postcards actively in transit from sender to receiver as of when I pulled that from their website a couple minutes ago.

This is wonderful!!! I have been Postcrossing for years and it's so much fun to get a postcard randomly out of the blue from someone. Regrettably the cost to send a postcard international from the USA is over $1 now, and the cost of a postcard means you might be spending around $2 per card, but it's so worth it.

In the UK it's £3.60, which is nearly $5!

Wowww ok, mea culpa maxima, I should not feel so bad. I would send domestically but the international cards are so much more interesting to me.
