"Thank You" Mr. Spellman!

Jerry, This was So Interesting ta me, Honestly! I'm not really a 19th Century Card kinda of guy. However, Articles such as this one, the one that You wrote, brings me Closer ta becoming one. There are very few 19th century card issues that I am even remotely interested in. This was an Excellent history read and I'm sure I will reference and Re~Read many times!

By Chance, Do You have a Picture or Possibly a Scan of Your "Butterfly Lady"!?

The one You mention here in Your Article:

"At an antique show, I purchased and opened a W.S. Kimball & Co. high grade cigarette pack; the insert card pictured a beautiful woman with butterfly wings. That N183 card was not my hope."

I would Love a See what "You weren't Hoping for".
Opening a Pack from the 19th Century Musta been Such a Thrill!
Did You have Her Graded?

Thanks in Advance for All Your Time & Effort Sir...
Gentleman Such as Yourself, Make Our Hobby an Incredible World!!!
