This is quite a Sasquatch Sunday. I’ve added several items to The World’s Largest Bigfoot Postcard Collection™ this week, including Pie Grande, the first postcard I have of Bigfoot named in Spanish. (Muchas gracias a Daniel por esta postal de Pie Grande desde Cancun, México.)
It’s funny, collecting Bigfoot cards started out as a lark. It was one of those things where I noticed I had a burgeoning selection of cards with that theme. Then that theme built and built and built. And now I have albums upon albums of Bigfoot postcards and ephemera. I’ve even made podcasts about Biggie, like this one with Jamo, and this one where I talk about my pocket-sized grandfather.
I’d say if you want to create a collection — or a theme of anything on postcards — start with a single card. And declare it so. Start looking. Noticing. Commenting on cards with your theme. And then one day you wake up and find yourself with what could be a world-class collection of postcards. As the saying goes: The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second-best time to plant a tree is today.
Have a Biggie day.
Stinkaboo
This could be like a game of tag. Or jinx. Who gets called “stinkaboo” last, loses.
Haha, stinkaboo! Pie grande o el Yeti over here. I know what you mean! Exactly like that, one card and then another one. And before you know it, you have a collection!
Pie Grande. I like that literal name. And isn’t that stinkaboo a funny one? I’ve never heard of it before, but I know a lot of descritions of Biggie say it smells really strongly. And yes, one card leads to another leads to a collection. Strange as it may be.
Ja! Pie Grande and Big Foot are the same thing. I do not want to say he stinks but with that amount of hair and living in the mountains… hahahaahaha
Wonderful post and podcast! My Bigfoot name would be Tree-ask (which spellcheck changed to ‘Teresa’ when I said it so I am sure it is correct). You should have a display of your Bigfoot postcards in the museum at Lacey Washington. They had a Bigfoot exhibit in 2019 that was a hit so I’m sure they would like your exhibit. You could become legendary in that community.
Dang spellcheck! I meant to say “Tree-sak” =D
Dang it! I meant to say “Tree-sak” =D Then spell-check changed it again!
So good!
