<p>[QUOTE=&quot;N5GWU, post: 8351807, member: 109652&quot;]I am excited to see these post.&nbsp; I worked in a coin shop in Laurel. Maryland from 1976 to 1981.&nbsp; During that time we had a very active stamp and first day cover clientele and one of them introduced me to the souvenir cards.&nbsp; I actively started collecting them in about 1977.&nbsp; There were often stories about the new production that showed up in Linn&#039;s Stamp News.&nbsp; I read that periodical cover to cover and very actively pursued the new issues as they came out.&nbsp; I remember some heavy competition for the ones that were issued at some of the larger national coin and stamp shows.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Most of my collection was stolen enroute to my next duty station (going from Fort Meade to Iraklion Air Station in Crete.&nbsp; What few that remained were put away in a box and are somewhere among my treasured memory stuff in my storage building.&nbsp; I have ordered the Mellone&#039;s Photo Encyclopedia of Souvenir Cards and when it rolls in I&#039;ll see if I can dig out the ones I have and maybe start collecting again.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for posting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
