The accompanying note said: Cyrus says: "It's nice to be home!"

Very special thanks to a board member who got this one of Howe's cards back with the rest. Words can't really express how grateful I am.



Number 256 in the rebuilt collection.

Congrats Ed! That's a big one!

[Leon]

wow...congrats Ed.

Awesome Ed! Keep it up! That card is in fantastic shape, too!! That would look great in any collection, but looks the best in yours! I don't know the full story, but do you think almost all T206 in the checklist will have this back? And is there only a sole copy of each in existence, or have you stumbled across duplicates?

I think I can speak for all of us when I say, yours is probably the most challenging set-build I know of! We all know of Uzits and Hindus being rare/tough backs, but yours must be the toughest around!

I think it would be really cool if when you completed this unique collection you went to the residence of 500 W. Main St., Gainesville, Fla and showed the current resident your collection or an even cooler idea would be to track down the descendants of Howe and show them their great grandfathers collection.

Really cool idea for a collection, I'll keep a lookout for those stamps!

Question is...how will Ed know if/when this collection is ever completed?

[The Nasty Nati]

That's a good point. Well, regardless I guess when the time feels right. 256 already sounds like an impressive number to me. It would be cool to track down Howe's descendants and maybe have them dig up a photo of their ancestor so we can have a face to this early collector.

This collection truly fascinates me. I feel this collection could go in a museum.
