<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsalexan, post: 1317745, member: 24274&quot;]Chris, the 1992 Columbus cards weren&#039;t issued as a collective set --&nbsp; they came out over the course of the year (in truth, they began in late&nbsp; 1991) at various shows. Many were issued by ABNCo, a few by other&nbsp; banknote firms, and quite a number from the BEP. I&#039;m not aware of any&nbsp; portfolios to house them all. They had a lot of different images, some&nbsp; numismatic, some philatelic, some generic with the common theme of&nbsp; Columbus. </p><p><br /></p><p>There was at least one &quot;subset&quot; issued in a single envelope: ABNCo put out a set of six&nbsp; reprints of the 1893 Chicago World&#039;s Fair tickets. These are actually&nbsp; harder to find than the original tickets. I think I have some scans of&nbsp; these -- I can post if you like. I did post one related ABN card earlier in this&nbsp; thread:&nbsp; <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/attachments/97826d1286519682-abnc-card-holo4.jpg" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/attachments/97826d1286519682-abnc-card-holo4.jpg">http://www.cointalk.com/attachments/97826d1286519682-abnc-card-holo4.jpg</a>.&nbsp; In the lower right, you&#039;ll see the thematic gold foil seal that ABN added to most of their cards&nbsp; that year.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
