First, as long as it's for your own personal use, you can also just print out postcards that you find online from all over the world. If you really want them to be as thick as postcards, you could print them on photo or brochure paper (to get the best color), then glue them onto cardstock and trim to postcard size.

I'll do a Google "Image Search" for you to see what I can turn up. Actually, it would probably be better to do an image search for a particular state or country… Here are some examples:
http://images.google.com/images?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T5GGLL_en___US278&q=India+postcard
http://images.google.com/images?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T5GGLL_en___US278&q=postcard+Montana

By the way, here a link to the page at Google which is for their "Image Search" so you can ask for any other state or country, etc., you want:
http://images.google.com

If you don't know how to "grab" photos from the internet, then print them out or save to print out later, basically just right-click your mouse on almost any image you see online, then select either Copy or Save.
If you copy it, you can "paste" it into photoediting software or even into Word, then print it out.
If you save it in your computer system, you can keep it and print it out any time you want.
(You'd have to consult your own software for how to change the size of the image, etc, before printing.)

HOWEVER, it also looks like there may be individuals and maybe even groups that like to exchange postcards for their collections too, like this one:

You could ask that person how to get more postcards too, or you could look for more people who do that (check out these good links):

I am 15 and I collect postcards as well.
It's fun than collecting stamps!
Don't think about what others collect, collect what you like!

1. If you have a coffee table, dining table, or desk you can have a piece of glass cut to fit. Put the postcards on the table (some upside down if they have good stamps and fun messages) randomly at different angles like they were just scattered there. Toss in some ticket stubs or other interesting flat things. Put the glass on top. Since you don't glue them down, you don't destroy the postcards. Change when you feel like it. It's fun to make a theme — a place, a country, plants, food, anything that makes the cards into a story.

You can also put down a map or decorative paper that speaks of the region the postcards come from as a background. Fold the extra edges under and flatten down with the side of a pen if you don't want to cut the map and put the post cards on top of that.

2. Get a large frame with glass and do the same thing for a wall picture.

3. Get stretcher strips at an art store and build a big frame. On the back, string rows of wire tightly and staple down. Hang postcards from tiny binder clips as a sort of gallery. Also changeable according to your whim and doesn't destroy the cards. You can paint or cover the stretchers with ribbon, staple down a fabric backing, whatever you like to make it decorative.

4. If you want to destroy the cards, you can get some decoupage glue and permanantly put them on furniture, suitcases, closet doors, any flat surface. But I like non-destructive ways as you can change the cards around.

I work for a photography studio that uses http://www.zazzle.com as our main outside custom product manufacturer. They do a great job and have pretty affordable prices with a VERY wide variety of things that you can do.

Just my 2 cents…
