 		Mine seems clean. I would be interested to find out if the sema code means anything, though. MarcB decoded the Barcode Recipe one, so I'll PM him.

A quick visual inspection looks like it matches the Semacode on the previous postcards, which all point to www.perplexcity.com. I have not tried to scan and decode it myself, as everything I have found to do that either runs on Windows or on a cellphone model that I do not have access to.

Bri (or anyone else who got the postcard)- could you post a high res version of the back of the card? I just noticed something on mine and I'm trying to figure out if its just a smudge I put on it myself or if its part of all of them.

There is a brown-ish smudge on the back of mine, sort of in the address area. I'll post a better scan when I am am able to.

EDIT: It is hard to see, even in the scan. I have a feeling it is just a fingerprint smudge from the person packing the order. Mucking around with cardboard boxes and packing tape dispensers while in a warehouse leaves a bit of grime on your fingers. Also: yes, I know I have the wrong month in the filename.

mucky card packers! sounds like the same thing thats on mine (a sort of dirty fingerprint in the address area)

 		I do like that way that we all get overexcited because someone got some ink on their thumb while packing a postcard. Laughing

 		I just noticed the text down the centre of the card.

Despite heightened security, Academy tours are still running twice daily from Gatehouse Twelve. Advanced booking essential.


Just the image of rampaging security guards, going round trying to stop tour groups around the academy, made me smile... Laughing

You know--the other postcards had the same message, but now that we have cards released, and specifically <a href="http://perplexcitycardcatalog.com/view.php?item=146">a card that mentions gatehouses</a>, I have started thinking. The "twice daily" thing sort of reminds me of a clock. Also, the mention of gatehouse 1 and gatehouse 12 bring to mind clock faces. It may mean nothing now, but might be useful for a future puzzle.

I also received yellow 089 signed by the Mind Candy team in my order which was after the email from Sente on Tuesday. Laughing

I wasn't one of the 1st one hundred...darn!

But I got 6 new cards, and 18 duplicates...grrrrrrr. Some dodgy packaging in my one, I got 3 packs with identical cards in them except for one unique card in each!
