Could this be both?

I made some LTCs using my PT stamp. I figured I would award those who solved my PT with this card. So could it be both a PT find and a LTC find all in one?

what are your feelings?
and would you want one?

originally had this on the LTC board, moved it here to get the opinions of those who do not necessarily collect LTCs

Maybe something new. A PT-LTC. I would probably specify it as a PT that is a limited edition, maybe for a specific event and retire it after they are gone. You could then make a new limited edition run with the same stamp but a different layout or some kind of change in the design and make it available as a PT.

Short answer . . . yes.

Long answer . . . why not? ;-) Seriously, the same would happen if someone reused a postal or an event stamp. You are not logging a find twice. An LTC is not a letterbox at all.

I'm not too familiar with LTCs but I would say yes if you aren't planning on mailing them. I think that is the only difference in the two types. If mailing an LTC is what distinguishes them from PTs and you start mailing PTs what do we need LTCs for? Just make them all PTs.

Okay this sounds like a go. I was not planning on mailing them but simply handing them to those who solve my PT question.

So if I understand correctly they could then log this as a PT find and a LTC find because they are 2 different thing just wrapped up in one nice neat package.

Thanks for the input I appreciate it
