<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsalexan, post: 3247609, member: 24274&quot;]Time for an update on the website of the Souvenir Card Collector Society (SCCS). In October we marked a year since the start of the project and it has come a long way. The central feature is the photo gallery, which will eventually (I hope) have reference images and data on every official card issued.</p><p><br /></p><p>We recently completed posting images for the *entire* category of <a href="http://www.souvenircards.org/gallery/B/b-index.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.souvenircards.org/gallery/B/b-index.html" rel="nofollow">BEP cards</a>, 1969 to 2018. That represents more than 330 different cards, many of which have text on the back or information sheets. We have nearly all the <a href="http://www.souvenircards.org/gallery/SO/SO.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.souvenircards.org/gallery/SO/SO.html" rel="nofollow">semi-official (SO)</a> cards in place, missing only two images out of 164. Some of these cards are nearly impossible to find. And the first completed category was the <a href="http://www.souvenircards.org/gallery/PS/PS.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.souvenircards.org/gallery/PS/PS.html" rel="nofollow">USPS philatelic cards</a>. There are only 71 of those, so that was easier, but still a challenge.</p><p><br /></p><p>We recently posted some new categories, including the <a href="http://www.souvenircards.org/gallery/Spider/spider.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.souvenircards.org/gallery/Spider/spider.html" rel="nofollow">hand-pulled spider press cards</a> -- which are hands-down the rarest souvenir cards issued, many 100 or less. And many of the intaglio &quot;club cards&quot; issued by the SCCS itself and its chapters are now on view, including all the annual &quot;<a href="http://www.souvenircards.org/gallery/N/N.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.souvenircards.org/gallery/N/N.html" rel="nofollow">national cards</a>.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Look for a large block of early forerunner cards to be posted in the near future. If you haven&#039;t taken a look at the site recently, I encourage you to do so. You&#039;ll also find information on how to join the Society (I encourage that, too <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />). Here are a few teasers...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]851414[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]851415[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]851416[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]851417[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]851418[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]851419[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]851420[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]851421[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
