Plan ahead for National Postcard Week 2019
This year Antique Trader is noting the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the “Great Social Experiment” – The 18th Amendment – on its NPCW postcard.
Antique Trader received its first (and very early) National Postcard Week postcard from enthusiast Demaris Swint. Swint’s card (shown) says:
Email me at ezrestexas@aol.com to trade with other participants or have questions. The larger participant list has 50-plus traders. Want to send to fewer? Go to www.swap-bot.com; joining is free. Trades there are 5 to 20 participants.
Check out the postcards sent in 2018 at www.facebook.com and search for “National Postcard Week.”
Look forward to seeing your postcards.

Antique Trader is gearing up for participating in National Postcard Week 2019 (NPCW). This year, NPCW will be celebrated with the sending and receiving of commemorative postcards from May 5-11.
This year we are recognizing the 100th anniversary of the Ratification of that “Great Social Experiment” — The 18th Amendment. An unpopular amendment to the U.S. Constitution, Prohibition had astounding impacts on American history and culture. Prohibition proved to be a boon for organized crime.
