If you’ve been following the numbers on the homepage, you know the 80,000,000 postcard will be registered soon… and if you’ve been around for awhile, you know what that means: it’s time to open the guessing game for this big Postcrossing milestone. Here is how it works:
The bets need to be submitted on the contest page.
It should be easy: just choose a slot for the date and the minute you think postcard number 80,000,000 will be registered! You can have a look through Postcrossing’s statistics page if that helps… or maybe throw a dart at a calendar, or interpret some tea leaves — anything goes!
And naturally, we have some prizes as well, and this year it’s a veritable prize extravaganza! The 80 million guessing game is being sponsored by papersisters, who have very generously donated a bounty of stationery treasures for our winners:
- The postcrosser whose bet is the exact minute when postcard 80 million gets registered will receive a set of 12 monthly postcards “Travel the year”, an Airmail sticker sheet, a little snailmail notebook, a pen, three different rolls of tape of papersisters designs and their popular “weather” rubberstamp (+ the postcards and stickers mentioned below).
- The 6 next best bets (before or after the registering time) will receive 15 different HPC Happy Postcrossing from… postcards on general topics like seasons and holidays so they can be used globally, plus a set of 30 ID stickers in different designs.
Here are some rules we need to mention: each time slot can only be chosen by one single person, so the first postcrosser to pick that slot gets to keep it. You can change it at a later stage if you’d like, but only from the available time slots left. The bets will be automatically closed when there are 1000 postcards left to postcard 80,000,000. Check the contest page for more details.
Keep sending postcards and refining your guesses, and keep an eye on the counter on the frontpage of the website to know how many postcards still need to be registered. Good luck, everyone!

What do you bet?
We're seeing 380-400k postcards each month with around 400k left, given that Germany is most active in December due to the Cards For Literacy program it's only a matter of a month or so.
Now a bit magic of when Germany and the US has it's typical evenings calculated to their percentage of cards on here - and that's why I'm guessing almost exactly one month from now... +/- 3 days.
Wahoo! :-D I guess it will be shortly after New years eve.
I try to bit now we have wait....
And for how long with our Strike...on Canada Post....
Haha I love this!
Exciting 🤩, thank you for the cool idea 🫶🏽
Hoping my guesses will be very-very close :)
Good luck everyone!
I think on the 11th december
This idea is very good. The best shall be the winner of that game.
