Hal,

I am not attempting to critique your card, I am just curious. You are correct in that I was the underbidder when we competed for the card last spring, there is no attempt here to hide that fact. It was and is a great card.

It is just that you did some exhaustive research on the card (research that impressed me and everyone else on the board), and I just wanted to make sure that there is nothing out there that can bring someone to the conclusion that it is not 1897-1899.

Please don't take curiousity as an attack on the card.
