[Offer] 5 cards in envelopes with weird modern stamps [WW]

Fulfilled

Bear with me, the title is cryptic, but it makes sense youll see. I went to the post office yesterday to get new cute stamps for international letters (cards in envelopes), but I chose to go to a different PO, because the one I usually go to is super crowded atm. There the guy only had one set of stamps and these are very weird modern ones called "two greys" and they feature an optical illusion of sorts. I think they are hideous, but since I needed stamps, I bought them. Now Im offering them up for your pleasure. ;)

Please comment here why "two greys" is the stamp for you and Ill pick 5 people at random (if there are more entries than stamps) this evening. Also let me know what type of card you like, Ill see what I can do.

This seems like from Germany~ Well, optical illusions are always fun to see, aren't they? Well, at least for me, they are.

I like the "Zwei Grautöne?" stamps 😄 they are not particularly beautiful, but I like the optical illusion. I ordered them myself actually.

Also, you can order stamps online, shipping is free atm, and you can choose which ones you want. They ship fast at least that was my experience

I like to collect stamps! Recently I just bought a folder to display my stamp collection (my proudest one would be a butterfly stamp from North Korea and the art of magic Rabbit from USA!!), an additional stamp would be nice. I love illustrated cards and any cards which feature plants and animals ^^ Thanks!

I'd love to be considered for the 'two greys'. At the moment I'm wearing a grey t-shirt and a grey pajama. I like Art cards but anything else is just fine.

Honestly I have no idea why it would be the stamp for me but I’m just so curious! Is that reason enough?Even if I don’t get a card could you post picture of said hideous stamps?

2
tomatomothOP:200-249: •

Sure thing, it is both enough of a reason and yes, Ill post a pic.

I like casually collecting novelty stamps, so this sounds right up my alley! I'm intrigued by the optical illusion, as I used to draw my own years ago. Card- don't really mind, Maybe sth with nature. Greyscale for a stamp is something I haven't seen so it would be v special.

2
tomatomothOP:200-249: •

I love that you used to draw your own illusions. So fun and challenging I imagine.

est_1983xx:250-499: •

Sounds awesome, would love to be considered please. I have a box where I keep all the stamps from my cards. I've started trying to buy more interesting stamps as the ones I get from other people are so nice!

Ooh, I have loved optical illusions since I got into photography when I was younger! I remember spending hours googling cool optical illusions and spend forever trying to figure out what was going on. I’d say a personal favorite was the elephant one with 4 legs... or was it 5??

2
tomatomothOP:200-249: •

So cool! You sent me down a googling rabbit hole with this prompt and I love it. :)
