Steve Lucas’ initial email was a request to contact him, they had a @coupme” of Howe’s cards come in as part of a larger lot. The next message was that it was close to 1,000 cards with the stamp.
Pretty much total deflation. Still haven’t fuigued out what I’ll do long-term. I’ve always said I know I wouldn’t get them all, but that was when there were 36 out there that I knew of, but would probably never get. 950 doesn’t feel the same.

I guess the bright side is that after the sell off, you'll still have the largest collection of Howes back stamp cards.
