Ya'll all know the story I had from the National, about Steve Verkman, last year so I wont re-hash that. I did actually call Steve recently to inquire about a D359 he has in his new catalogue. I called in on Friday and he called back yesterday. He said he did have the card and proceeded to describe it to me in full detail. He said it was cut close at the top but absolutely measured correctly. Since I have a few of the D359's already I know this to be the case with a lot of them. I asked about the back (ya'll know I like those backs) and he said there was some paper damage in the middle, about the size of a stamp hinge?, but not too bad. So far in my collection most of the cards that have any back damage, that affects the writing, I have either replaced or are on my list to be replaced. That was pretty much a show stopper for me but I went ahead and asked the price. He said he was asking $650 but would take $600. I thought the price was a little high but will let ya'll make your own decision on that. Regardless, Steve was very nice, and professional, and I appreciated the call back. best regards
