<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsalexan, post: 2456465, member: 24274&quot;]I made a pick-up recently of a nice &quot;forerunner&quot; souvenir card. This term was coined by the Souvenir Card Collector Society for cards that pre-date the first official issue by the BEP in 1969. </p><p><br /></p><p>This is the memorial card for President James Garfield, who was assassinated in 1881. The card was engraved and printed by the BEP and currency buffs will recognize the portrait as the same one that appears on Series 1882 $5 national bank notes. This card was also bound into the official Memorial Book that contained the memorial addresses delivered in the House of Representatives. But the individual cards, framed in black, are scarcer.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]514077[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
