Definitely something that will raise eyebrows (and doubt) in the future, especially with no formal back up for the story aside from personal assurances.
I know Gary collected cards himself and perhaps he thought it might be something special to have a card like that out there which is a memorial, but signed at the same time, something only a person who was facing their ultimate fate could produce. I assume he knew 2012 would be it for him, given the stage of the cancer and decided to have a little fun with it before he went.
Not too many like it, if any, out there for anyone else.
