As previously mentioned these were brought to the hobby by Terry Knouse years ago and many can be seen on David Rudd's page here.
As for taking a hobbyists word for something, the TPGs would do well to take Mark Macrae's word for anything. I am sure there is something in cards he doesn't know, but if he doesn't know it you can bet that the TPGs don't know it.
For other hobbyists, myself included, I definitely can see your point about getting other points of view, but not with Mark Macrae. |
It was great meeting and chatting with you at the National.
Your 1st statement here is quite true......I would have bought it anyway. And, it was acquired at a reasonable price, too.
This N321 "card" fits quite well into my 19th Century type card collection.
Regarding your 2nd statement here....according to David Rudd's site, these "cards" may be unique in the hobby....do you
agree with this ?
Finally, I certainly agree with you that Mark Macrae's knowledge of things in this hobby is vast and virtually impeccable.
