There are only several more letters but here is one of them.....**note T206 proofs mentioned at the end.

This stuff is excellent. In one of the letters he mentions "T206 booklet". I wonder what that is.

I'd love to see the strip card/T206 printers proof he's talking about.

Thanks again for posting this Leon-

Sincerely, Clayton

I don't have it in hand right now but he might be referring to Heitman's, T206 Monster booklet.

I pulled out my copy of "The Monster" and it's copyrighted 1980. Was there ever an earlier printing? Probably not, so that could not be the booklet being cited.

"The Monster" by Bill Heitman was published in 1980.

Have you had a chance to read if Egan documents where the American Caramel Co. cards were printed ?

My research suggests in the greater Philadelphia area....but, I have not been able to pinpoint the printer.

Thanks and great stuff,
