<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsalexan, post: 8196383, member: 24274&quot;]Well, there really hasn&#039;t been many posts lately of souvenir cards themselves, so I think I&#039;ll add a few. Maybe other members will be encouraged to post their own.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is B-109A. This is the first spider press card that the BEP sold strictly at a show (the 1987 Great Eastern Numismatic Association show in Cherry Hill , NJ). A total of 30 cards, all hand-signed and dated, were raffled off to visitors making this the rarest card ever produced by the Bureau (it&#039;s actually tied with another spider press card).</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1435715[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>For a few years in 1980s and &#039;90s, both the BEP and the American Bank Note Co. would bring their spider presses to shows for demonstration. ABNC began creating special show-only cards, also only available in a lottery. Here&#039;s one of my favorites, SO-122A, with multi-colored 1896 official stamps from the Republic of Hawaii. Only 100 of these were printed.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1435718[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
