The postcards usually come out at ANY MAC counter when a new collection opens. Every collection does not have a postcard. Some collections have a postcard AND something that only comes in the mail (mailer)- the mailer is always different than the counter card. Confused yet? LOL!! All of them are free- at that time.
All too often for us that collect, a collection opens, there is no card available here, but one shows up somewhere-like Ebay- for sale. Never released in the US.
Now there ARE special collections that ONLY certain stores have -like the upcoming Patternmaker is a NORDSTROM EXCLUSIVE. That means NOBODY but Nordstrom will have the cards, the products or anything.
That also happens with SAKS and sometimes BLOOMINGDALES.
As for your question about how fast do they go at the counter? They depends on how many the counter gets and how many people want one..or more, at the time. My suggestion is to look thru the list of openings coming up (there are in here on specktra somewhere) and check (CALL) your local store/s to see who has a card in as well. Sometimes they don't get everything in on time.
