  1. 5/5 stars! When I opened up this package There was not only the one post card I purchased but 2 extra neat ship post cards in between, My guess why Was to keep the one Card i brought safe from any potential damage. but since it was 2 extra ship post cards, that I didn’t have to pay for which was a nice surprise. this seller Definitely went the extra distance on this order! Kudos on this one! Oh and It’s was already laminated which was very appreciated by me! In summary everything was done right!
