My fellow board members,

Recently my Tisdel hoard of three was reduced to two after my benevolent trade of one my Tisdel stamps with another board member. A hoard of two just didn't seem right though and I have added the requisite third example to make my hoard, a certified hoard, according to the Directors Guild, which is actually just a hoard of directors looking for guidance.

The scan below once again demonstrates the vertical placement of the Tisdel stamp as seen in other posts in the thread. This time there is no accompanying Tisdel autograph though. Please note as well the soft black slab holder, given as a freebie in Chicago last year, which performs the following functions.

1. It obscures any frosting on the slab margins.

2. It makes the slab so thick that they become more difficult to store.

3. It allows you to throw your cards against the wall without risk of injury to the card, the slab or the wall.

4. If using your slab as a coaster, it will not slide off a table that is not level.

Is there anyone out there using these? Just wonderin'
