I further understand that this is not ... scheme that will result in a major financial crisis ...

Be careful, it's addictive and you can get carried away, once you've been in a round of 50 cards its impossible to sign up for less knowing how many great photos you might miss

Black Dog · Jan 19, 2010

Speaking of which.....sign me up again for the max.Same address as before.

Tell me about it. I'm praying it peters out at around 40 cards this round. Each round has gotten larger and larger.

Hi RST

Well, I have the impression that we won't reach 50 this round. It seems that we have lost some regulars which is too bad. We will see. But I am also thinking about limiting myself to 40 this round. But I have the feel that I have to do the max as organizer ...

You might consider, Rudy, in future rounds splitting the field above 40 cards. Less work for you and us.

I feel like I have to do the max so I don't miss out on any cards Besides, there's no real difference between 40 and 50 - haha.

Well, organizing the exchange is the same work for 40 as for 50 or 60. Limiting to 40 participants is not an option and splitting in a group of 40 and a group of the rest is also not an option.

This exchange is looking a little lean, but there is still a little time left so hopefully it will pickup. I'm still fairly new to these exchanges so I'm hoping for more sign ups. Once I get set up it make little difference how many cards I print. I have been shooting quite a bit lately and have processed most of my film, definitely have so fresh images to choose from for this exchange.

I really liked printing several cards, as it forced me to improve my consistency...

However, for this exchange, I think I'll print several different images for more fun !

Tim Gray · Jan 20, 2010

The only reason <50 is nice is that I often print out a couple extra cards for personal use, and when the total number is 50 or less, I only use half a box of paper. Which really isn't that big of a deal. haha. I need to order more...

That is the reason why I buy the 500 boxes. They hold for several postcard exchanges.

Black Dog · Jan 20, 2010

I also love the bigger exchanges because I have so many images that I want to get out there that may not fit into whatever series I'm currently working on....so out they go!

I should do that. I always have problems justifying the outlay at the moment.

Christopher Walrath · Jan 23, 2010

I might have to break down and get some postcard paper this time around.

Tim Gray · Jan 23, 2010

After the first round of postcards I did, I decided I needed a 4x6 speed easel. After about 6 months of hunting, I found one on ebay. It's great for these rounds. Between that and a nice digital enlarger timer, banging out 50 prints really isn't that bad.

Find a 4x6 speed easel.

You haven't lost this regular! Just a bit later than usual, but count me in. Same details as last round, same number of cards as last round: 25.

Ruediger, you mentioned postcard paper boxes of 500. Where do you buy those? Haven't seen them at Mayr (one of my usual addresses).

I get my 500 boxes from www.phobatec.de, but www.nordfoto.de also lists them. I just checked and was surprised that e.g. www.silverprint.co.uk does not list them, but you can buy around 7 100 sheet boxes from them and are still cheaper than what you pay for a 500 box in Germany. And then it just comes down to shipping costs.

Great to have you in again.
