I went to the front door and found a box addressed to me. Yay! Surprise in the mail! I was really shocked when I opened it though, to see that it was my postcard gift from my Reddit Giver! (I'm sorry M, I don't know your username. I looked up the one you wrote you used at PostCrossing, but it didn't come up here.)

This is my first Reddit Gift experience ever. I'm sorry to say, my wonderful Reddit Giver has set the bar so high that I will simply have to settle for any and all future gifts.

Let me tell you - I did not just receive a mere post card. Nor did I receive a mere two or three post cards - which, let's be honest, is what we consider the "gold star" of a Reddit Postcard exchange.

Oh no, my friends, I received something in the order of a MILLION postcards! A million (give or take a few hundred thousand) esoteric, artistic, beautiful postcards.

These aren't your ordinary postcards. Some are funny, some confusing, some thought provoking, and all fascinating. I've been thumbing through them for the past thirty minutes to try to decide on my favorite. That's pretty much going to be impossible to do.

It might be the noble Indian, prominently featured in the first photo. The back of the card tells me that's Obtossaway, a Chief of the Ojibwas.

Or maybe it's the lady in a cage, featured the first postcard closeup. Who is she? What is she doing in that cage? The back of the postcard says only "Zander Institute. New York City, 1908". I have some Googling to do.

Or it could be the second postcard closeup, this striking portrait called "Ebony" a Platinum Print by Fred Holland Day, created in 1899!! Eighteen-Ninety-Nine PEOPLE! Where was this made? Who was the subject? Do you think we could get such a striking portrait today using a standard DSLR? I think not. This is gorgeous.

My wonderful Reddit Giver also gave me a link to Postcrossing.com - Which I can use for a new addictive hobby of sending some of these postcards to people across the world. Oh, you, Reddit Giver of beautiful postcards. You have opened up a nefarious and dark world of intrigue for me.

Best gift ever, from someone I don't know. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, so very, very much. I love these. Reddit Giver, I hope you find a way to message me, or I will message you to your Post Secret ID, so I can send you one of these to enjoy for yourself! I feel like I've made a new online best friend. :-)
