New Year Card round-up flashback chit-chat

With over 400 cards now posted for this new year – in four different styles/variations/purposes – I flip through a special historical retrospective collection constructed for a friend who missed out… While drinking coffee on "coming of age" day.

Note: Cards are accessorized by cancelled international postal stamps as well as a wide variety of custom and standard ink stamps.

Usual anecdotes, digressions and back stories included, as usual.

Includes:

2024 Ichiro airplane special edition "see you again" w/ JAL at Okayama Momotaro airport

2024 "Kinome 10th anniversary" 2 variations, both from Varley Trail, Lynn Canyon

2023 "Baseball Halloween squad" with Japan, Mariners (both Ichiro) and Canada uniforms + persimmons and tiger and rabbit haiku on reverse plus Noto

2023 "BC invasion" coming soon! commemorative card on NHK Taro-man set (shared with friends met along the way)
