Deltiology 101: How to start a meaningful postcard collection

Frank Warren had an idea.  He printed up 3,000 postcards that were blank on the front, and had directions and his address on the back.  He instructed people to write a secret on the front, then mail the postcard to the address on the back.  That was in 2004.  He still receives postcards today, not from that original 3,000, but hand made or store bought - with a plethora of anonymous secrets.  Some of them are really moving - watch the video to see his favorites.  The ending of this video made me cry.

He posts the postcards on his blog:  PostSecret.com
