+1 Cool backside!
Normally, I'd add this to my thread on checks, but then I decided to share it here. The vignette is just a litho copy of better known engraving,...
Hadn't thought about approaching CBNCo, but I might. There was no info in the catalog about what they used it for. That was another interesting...
I received another nice vignette proof a couple weeks back that I was hesitant to post without a little research. This one is of a seated woman,...
Almost forgot -- I found a sales flyer folded up and tucked into one of my portfolios... [ATTACH]
Nice looking set! And I'll add a tag. Not many people are aware that ABNCo offered a sales incentive for the 1987 (I think) portfolio. Early...
+1 But not all of these trimmed out vignettes sell cheaply. I've seen some go for $25-35 each and on two occasions individual China stamp...
In addition to their pure artistic beauty, the portfolios are a researcher's dream. Each panel comes with an information sheet with the title of...
A couple weeks ago I completed a collection that I've been working on for probably 10 years: The American Bank Note Archive Series. I had a budget...

Well, I finally scored one of the big dogs of the souvenir card world, through a multiple trade. This was one I wasn't sure I'd ever add to my...

I was in that line, too![ATTACH]
Cool stuff! I really like the Michigan Central and Monongahela RRs and I have have some of the other certs myself. Looks like a great show -- how...
Very pretty note, Mel! I picked up a McKinley note at FUN, too. Mine's from the Philippines, though. I've always liked the look of these -- the...
I got two vignette proofs in today's mail that make me very happy. One is of "Justice" and I already have a usage among my taxpaid revenues. She...
Short answer is yes, there are collectors of this material. But it really depends on many factors -- age, scarcity, demand. If you'd like to post...
I don't think I've ever seen a memorial note like this. Sobering and amazing at the same time. How did you come by this one, Dan?
The bond coupons represented twice-annual interest payments on CSA bonds. Since they were from bearer bonds, the coupons were often clipped off in...
I've never been, so I can't offer an opinion. But having just been to FUN in Orlando I can say at that show, earlier was better. A lot of dealers...
