I just wanted to chime in and say that this is one of the most interesting threads I've read and I've been here from the start -- when we "migrated" from the "Full Count Board" way back when.
I also want to be among those thanking Roland for sharing his collection, knowledge, and passions for these wonderful and still mysterious cards. I have only a few and are among the prizes in my collection. I hope to add to that small group.
I think the first I heard about the Cuban issues was in an article in the Vintage Collector magazine, which was a high quality actual paper magazine back in the 1990s. Since then this board and some of members have been the best sources for learning about these issues.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that this is the kind of thread that realizes the potential of this board and I'm just thankful for that.:
