I had had prior dealings with the people emptying the house. An elderly woman in her 90s had lived there until recently passing. I simply was contacted to look at the cards and bought them on the spot. I'm located in western NY about 40 miles south of Rochester. Since the Hess cards were produced in Rochester, I guess I was geographically in the right place at the right time. Strange subplot: I have recently given up my land line and have only a cell phone. It took about 2 weeks for the estate people to contact me through a third party. I could have missed out altogether.
