When I got the mail yesterday , I received a post card from the BRNA announcing their show. I was wondering why I was getting the card now. The show was August 23-25,2019. The card was postmarked on July16,2019 ! The card traveled at the blinding speed of .8 mile per day!

Slowly but surely...
but it got there

It's better that it was only a notice and not a purchase.
I had a post card from a coin show take 9 days to get to me. A distance of 10 miles. Go figure
Rain snow sleet or hail as the slogan goes. I just had one coming from hi.to pa that was scanned in and showed same update coming soon for9 days until it arrived untracked in my box. Never showed delvd, just appears. I guess balmy breezes an swaying palms don't qualify. Lol.
Somebody at the USPS dropped the ball on your postcard.
It was probably found in supposedly empty equipment and should have been stamped as such.

So, are you going? Time travel is expensive though...
But while you are traveling, check out the L and E 1815 1825 quarters and give a report.
Postcards are easily trapped in equipment or shelving. They're faulty by design. They could even paste themselves on the inside of my mailbox and go unrecognized by me for whatever length of time.
I would never use them.
When I need to send a note to someone, I put it in an envelope.
No, I'm not a USPS employee and have never been.....
Since it was post marked...
But this is one way to get rid of a lot of junk mass mailings (if postage is already paid) drop it off at the PO, regardless of what’s on it, and be done with it.
Perhaps it was 'hand delivered' from the source....That is a long way to walk...not to mention 'convenience' stops for food, water and elimination.....
...That being said, it likely got 'stuck' somewhere for a while...Cheers, RickO

Maybe next year it will travel at super snail speed of 2 miles/day.
