Howe McCormick backstamps - 50 I'll never see

[T206Collector]

You’re looking for Ed McCollum. He’s called “StuckInOmaha” on Net54. Send him a personal message. Thank you for bringing your find to Net54 and welcome to the board!

Ed said that he'd be taking a break from purchasing these a few months ago, and I offered to buy some and hold them for Ed until he can continue the pursuit. I will contact you, NoTrim, and make an offer. Once Ed has the money, I will sell them to him *at cost* to help him get closer to his completion.

You da man, John. Thanks for doing what could be done by so many and done by so few. If you need help in your endeavors let me know (PM or whatever)....

True story and was on one of the prior threads if you want to verify. It's a good group of people here--welcome aboard--and it's awesome how everyone is helping put this collection back together.

NoTrim and I are going to make a trade to secure these three cards for Ed down the line. It will take a while since one of the cards I'm trading is at COMC and has to get shipped to me first.

Happy to help out. You're one of the good ones, John.

Glad to see this sort of collaboration. Tough to see how Ed's collection could continue to make progress without the helping hand that board members can provide.

This thread - and the Howe McCormick collection specifically as well - is a good reminder that we are all just holding these cards in a public trust for yesterday’s and tomorrow’s collectors. We owe it to each other - past, present, and future - to help out. My collection of signed cards certainly wouldn’t be the same without the substantial contributions of this board and the hobbisphere.
