Hopefully the page you trade for will have better quality stamps in a worse arrangement, so you can re-arrange for an even more worthy page.  There are various locations that you can trade in; click one of the buttons on the right to visit a location, for a small travel fee.  Each time you enter a location, the inventory of that place will be refreshed.\n\n","title":"Trading Postage","wayback_recovered":true,"wayback_source":{"capture":{"original":"https:\/\/api-jam.ludumdare.com\/vx\/node2\/get\/421001+421002+421003+421004+421005+421006+421007+421008+421009+421010+421011+421012+421013+421014+421015+421016+421017+421018+421019+421020+421021+421022+421023+421024+421025+421026+421027+421028+421029+421030+421031+421032+421033+421034+421035+421036+421037+421038+421039+421040+421041+421042+421043+421044+421045+421046+421047+421048+421049+421050+421051+421052+421053+421054+421055+421056+421057+421058+421059+421060+421061+421062+421063+421064+421065+421066+421067+421068+421069+421070+421071+421072+421073+421074+421075+421076+421077+421078+421079+421080+421081+421082+421083+421084+421085+421086+421087+421088+421089+421090+421091+421092+421093+421094+421095+421096+421097+421098+421099+421100+421101+421102+421103+421104+421105+421106+421107+421108+421109+421110+421111+421112+421113+421114+421115+421116+421117+421118+421119+421120+421121+421122+421123+421124+421125+421126+421127+421128+421129+421130+421131+421132+421133+421134+421135+421136+421137+421138+421139+421140+421141+421142+421143+421144+421145+421146+421147+421148+421149+421150+421151+421152+421153+421154+421155+421156+421157+421158+421159+421160+421161+421162+421163+421164+421165+421166+421167+421168+421169+421170+421171+421172+421173+421174+421175+421176+421177+421178+421179+421180+421181+421182+421183+421184+421185+421186+421187+421188+421189+421190+421191+421192+421193+421194+421195+421196+421197+421198+421199+421200+421201+421202+421203+421204+421205+421206+421207+421208+421209+421210+421211+421212+421213+421214+421215+421216+421217+421218+421219+421220+421221+421222+421223+421224+421225+421226+421227+421228+421229+421230+421231+421232+421233+421234+421235+421236+421237+421238+421239+421240+421241+421242+421243+421244+421245+421246+421247+421248+421249+421250+421251+421252+421253+421254+421255+421256+421257+421258+421259+421260+421261+421262+421263+421264+421265+421266+421267+421268+421269+421270+421271+421272+421273+421274+421275+421276+421277+421278+421279+421280+421281+421282+421283+421284+421285+421286+421287+421288+421289+421290+421291+421292+421293+421294+421295+421296+421297+421298+421299+421300+421301+421302+421303+421304+421305+421306+421307+421308+421309+421310+421311+421312+421313+421314+421315+421316+421317+421318+421319+421320+421321+421322+421323+421324+421325+421326+421327+421328+421329+421330+421331+421332+421333+421334+421335+421336+421337+421338+421339+421340+421341+421342+421343+421344+421345+421346+421347+421348+421349+421350+421351+421352+421353+421354+421355+421356+421357+421358+421359+421360+421361+421362+421363+421364+421365+421366+421367+421368+421369+421370+421371+421372+421373+421374+421375+421376+421377+421378+421379+421380+421381+421382+421383+421384+421385+421386+421387+421388+421389+421390+421391+421392+421393+421394+421395+421396+421397+421398+421399+421400+421401+421402+421403+421404+421405+421406+421407+421408+421409+421410+421411+421412+421413+421414+421415+421416+421417+421418+421419+421420+421421+421422+421423+421424+421425+421426+421427+421428+421429+421430+421431+421432+421433+421434+421435+421436+421437+421438+421439+421440+421441+421442+421443+421444+421445+421446+421447+421448+421449+421450+421451+421452+421453+421454+421455+421456+421457+421458+421459+421460+421461+421462+421463+421464+421465+421466+421467+421468+421469+421470+421471+421472+421473+421474+421475+421476+421477+421478+421479+421480+421481+421482+421483+421484+421485+421486+421487+421488+421489+421490+421491+421492+421493+421494+421495+421496+421497+421498+421499+421500?authors&parents&superparent"},"object":"objects\/sha256\/00\/00e41d5794b3ed512732debb8da5e33c11a58c2d0e5f321ec56c941c37510ecc","record":"shard-2\/json-live-urgent-v3\/records\/84a3cf15d52d3156df4eee4e7da17914c6bcf42c491a51eafc4063319e91b7e2.json","sha256":"00e41d5794b3ed512732debb8da5e33c11a58c2d0e5f321ec56c941c37510ecc","source":"https","stored_at":1784022542}}
