Frank W., you're card (#5 in the collection) came in Oct.ober of 2007. I started the collection in May of that year.

My first stamped cad actually showed up fifteen years before that, pre-internet, and I was sort of ticked at the time becuase I was trying to get one of each back, and the Hindu I purchasd through a magazine ad didn't mention a stamp of any sort on it. When it arrived, I thought, well, at least it was a Hindu back for the collection, and wasn't too horribly expensive. Then fifteen years later, on eBay, I saw another card with that stamp and thought it would be neat to have two. I posted on her about it and BAM! everyone started letting me know they had one/had seen one/thought they remembered one... It was just a few months after that I decided to sell the almost 200 in my collection and just concentrate on Howe's old cards.

The first five were quick, then it slowed after that. Barry, yours is number 12, and made its way here almost a year after I started. It goes in spurts. None for several months, then a lot of six, or a large number on eBay at the same time. Then nothing for months. I've missed a couple recently (including a Magee non-error in poor condition that went for more than $150! go figure?) But I get what I can, and appreciate hearing from everyone if they happen to see one.

Thanks.

Ed..

I just sent e-mail. I have a T206 Groom that you did not have listed.

173 is mind boggling especially since practically all sellers won't even mention the McCormick stamped back.
Ed you have incredible tenacity, congrats! Hope you find a bunch more.
