Thanks so much for the nice comments. I definitely feel a kinship with Ed and his "Howe McCormick" collection, and I am proud to say that I have contributed Howe-stamped T206 cards that I have found to it. My understanding is that many Net54'ers have Howe-stamped cards in their collection that they would willingly trade to Ed if he had a substitute card. In some cases we're talking about a rare Hindu back, so there is some difficulty; but, frankly, I do not really understand why most who have one of those cards doesn't just ship them to Ed for a nominal return. Consider it collecting karma. In most collections, the stamp reduces the card's intrinsic value anyway.
