<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Notaphylic_C, post: 26787797, member: 130786&quot;]I have been collecting for 5 decades &amp; I have never heard the term &quot;bookends&quot; used the way [USER=78298]@Michael K[/USER] described it. A set of digits (no matter where they are placed) just won&#039;t matter much to most special # collectors I know. Everything must be in place for the serial to be special (otherwise it is just a MISS). </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Bookend serials&quot; have always meant <b>adjacent notes</b>, such as these:</p><p><b>0000999 </b>(2 digit bookend)</p><p>0001000 *(2 digit radar or <b>featured note</b>)</p><p><b>0001001 </b>(2 digit bookend)</p><p>&amp; of course a lot of collectors would like these bookend notes b/c they&#039;re kind of cool. They really are not that collectible on their own but require a feature note. <b>Bookends</b> are also appreciated if you have errors (often the bookends being less dramatic than the most dramatic featured error). They&#039;re especially on the radar for special # collectors who like consecutive serial # runs of 2 or 3 notes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
