I normally would participate in a postcard swap like this, but the restriction "the card in a store within the last year or two" is just too weird. I've been on postcrossing for 5 years and I know the designs were just as nice as the ones today (and those I have left from buying them then are still in the same great condition). And with a specific image like the capital or capitol, it's too unlikely that one would have the chance to have such new cards unless one lives next to or in the capital city. So, even though I fit the conditions, I won't participate this time.

I agree with @Swan -- I live in a capital city, but I never see new designs!! They are the same now as years ago...

Thanks for the comment, the restriction wasn't meant to exclude cards that are still readily available but bought more than two years ago. I will try to reword that on future swaps :)

Nor the cards that were available more than two years ago and are still available today...
