Posted By: <b>Rick Swaine</b><p>Can anybody tell me something about this card? It's blank backed, measures just under 2.75 X 2.25 and is on relatively thin paper stock.<img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1236469464.JPG" alt="[linked image]">

Posted By: <b>Dave Hornish</b><p>I think Bob Lemke is familair with these cards, I recall an article a few years ago in SCD with a lot of information on these. I am on the road and cannot check my files but if Bob is reading he may chime in.

Posted By: <b>Bob Lemke</b><p>In my last months at SCD/Standard Catalog we did a couple of Standard Catalog Update columns on the ZIPCards, with fairly complete checklists, photos, etc. I am surprised to find that they have not been included in the ensuing editions of the Standard Catalog; that was my intention before I left.<br><br>Perhaps, since the data is captured in the SCBC system, they can be added to a future edition.<br><br>Sorry to report I no longer have access to my file copies of the old SCD Update columns, so I can't provide any real information.

Posted By: <b>Rick Swaine</b><p>Thanks for the info to all of you who responded. I've been on a 10-year work-induced sabatical from the hobby and am just getting back in. Being new to this tremendous site, I'm wondering if it's OK to post a few more "mystery" items that I acquired over the years.<br><br>Let me know off-line if you prefer.
