Unexpected and Welcome Surprise in the Mail

Came home from work one day this spring, and my wife pointed me to a small USPS package on the kitchen counter. "Some card you must have won came in the mail today." At first I don't think she believed me as I told her I hadn't bid on/purchased or tried to trade for any cards. Pretty sure the shocked look on my face when I saw the card and read the accompanying letter let her know for sure I had no idea this was on the way.

An extremely generous gift from a fellow board member and collector who told me this was one I could scratch off the list of known examples that weren't with the rest, and wished me continued success in rebuilding the collection.

This wasn't the first time this person has helped with my collection. Anonymity is very important to this collector, and I respect that and hope posting this hasn't betrayed that confidence, but getting this card is truly my pickup of the year.

Again, thanks to all who have helped with rebuilding Howe's collection.
