I had the pleasure of having the original finders of this newly discovered card come up to my table at this past Philly Show. I believe they found it in a book, maybe even a Bible if I recall.
I know another copy sold a few years ago so it isn't a one of one but what a neat rescue from an old book!
It just goes to show you that there are still treasures out there to be discovered.
It is an amazing card and all I can say is thank goodness I do not collect 19th century stuff
I also had the pleasure of having John Mcdaniel (Wonka) sitting with me at the time the card came to the table, thanks for hanging out John!
