Yes that one was a little bit of a cheat but it still counts: anyone can send a self-addressed envelope to certain bases in Antarctica and they'll mail it back to you with special markings on it, espec. for stamp collectors. I did the same thing but slipped a sticker in the envelope in case a scientist there is interested. Haven't heard back from them yet though! https://www.nsf.gov/geo/opp/antarctic-stamp-collecting
General safety reasons, since it is pretty unsafe for a minor to be messaging a random adult online. And yes, it's okay if you have your parents do it. I had to put this rule in recently because someone under 18 tried to get free stickers in a way where their parents wouldn't find out, which gets dangerous

this is wild! but yeah definitely counts!
Why can't I get a sticker if I'm under 18 & can I get my parents to do it for me?
