Eddie, the publication you sent about Smith, from the
Caramelos Felices collection 1845-46, is very good. I didn't know about it, but I don't agree with what it says: that when you completed the 99 cards, they gave you the one from Napoleon Reyes #73. , and that was not the case. Few of the Napoleon Reyes postcards were printed, and it was the Prize card. They were printed with different types of stamps and without a stamp, but the Prize postcard had a quadrangular stamp, with the address of the factory and the signature of the manager, that It was the prize postcard, others with stamps that said: Only for collection without prize, others: only for collection, the stamps in black or dark blue, all of the ones I mentioned were very rare because very few were printed, which is why most of them The albums have 99 cards, I have had around 40 Happy albums in almost 40 years as a collector and of those only 5 have been with the 100 cards, I show from my specialized catalog cards #73 of Napoleón Reyes
