Hey folks!!! Time for another MOPA update! This episode we have several new, handmade cards by our friends Mark & Mary Counts, Jason Berlin, and Louise Thomas, PLUS a special TREAT: the start of a new segment: “FROM THE COLLECTION OF MARK COUNTS!” Some cool stuff coming from Mark’s awesome book!
UNFORTUNATELY, we do have some sad news… Although, I know I mentioned last update that we’d be getting to some HALLOWEEN postcard this time, I just didn’t get to them, yet! (SORRY!!!) We’ll all just have to wait until next episode for that wonderful spookiness to arrive! (I really am SORRY!!! I know we’re all excited for scary season, but we received a lot of new cards lately, and I don’t want to get behind on those again!!! SOON!)
Anyway, LET’S GET ARCHIVING!!!
The most recent OFFICIALLY INDUCTED POSTCARDS in the Museum of Postcard are:
---0169 – by Jason Berlin
---0170 – also by Jason Berlin
---0171 – It doesn’t say who sent this on the card, but I’m almost certain it’s a Mark Counts
---0172 – by Mark Counts. He handed these next couple cards to me at an art sale instead of shipping them thru the mail. (Saved a buck or two! I’m cool with that!)
---0173 – also by Mark
---0174 – by Valence of the Poconos
---0175 – another one by Louise Thomas! (She’s one of our best suppliers!!!)

I’m HOPING to get back to scanning postcards VERY SOON! I have a bunch of Halloween themed cards to share, plus Mark’s amazing collection to catalog (so I can get it back to him! What I’ve scanned of his so far is just a few of the vintage travel cards, but his collection gets seriously STRANGE! I can’t wait…) If all goes well (when does that happen), I’ll have another Museum of Postcard Art update to share in less than a week! (Tentacles crossed!!!)
LATER!
