Congratulations, Drew. I'm sure happy for you.

Perhaps as you're working on a display for your Red Hearts, you could begin to collect any articles, information, and personal stories on this set. Maybe you already have a bunch of that. Do you have a reprint of an original advertisement, which told kids how they could get the cards in the first place?

Somewhere I have my 1969 Wholesale Cards Co. mail order catalog. While the prices listed are so low it's sickening, it provides a way of understanding how a young hobbyist such as I could, and did so, get the cards that year.

No doubt you probably know The John Morrell Company kept a large number of the leftover cards should someone want one. Until at least the early 70s, one could write to them for a set. I have no idea if the interested party was charged money, or Morrell just sent them a set for free, since the promotion was long over, and to convey the highest possible public relations.

It is a very beautiful and interesting set, to be sure.

Nice going, again. ---Brian Powell

Fine. Edit to add that because Chris didn't mail the Rosen in April when I agreed to buy it it was the final card in the set.

And Al as you are well aware of a true collector in never done, just almost there.

Thanks for the kind words all.
