Default A public THANK YOU to two Board members

So I wanted to give a public shout out to two of our board members.

Mac Wubben took two cards out of his own personal collection and traded them to Ken McMillan, so that Ken would send me one of my final 8 1923 W572s.

For those that don't know, I'm pretty sure no one has ever completed the set (unless it was done by somebody when the set was issued in the 1920s and knowledge of this has been lost to history). I believe I currently have the most cards anyone has ever assembled in that set (114 out of the 121 - and 2 of the missing ones have never been graded or photographed (Barbare and Rapp) and 2 other missing ones have never been photographed (Duncan and Wambsganns) but have been graded - and hopefully these really are W572s and not a misidentification) with Ken having the second most complete set I know of.

So really outstanding kindness by our two board members to dig into their own collections and help me out.

I'm humbled and thankful,
Patrick
