Jim, for now I'll upgrade the set a bit, but eventually I'll start another run.

Here is why Merkle: In 2004 I bought an Uzit that just happened to feature Merkle. In 2005 I saw a Brown Lenox in a Lew Lipset auction, and I had to have it. It also featured Merkle. Having those two to start with, I always said I would make this run, though I didn't begin in earnest until 2008.
So as you can see, the run was an accident. But after those first two, I had to do it.
Good luck with Mcgraw.

Chris, thank you very much.

And Wonka, thanks again. I'm glad you were going for the Lord and not the Merkle.

That's basically the same for me with McGraw after picking up the Cycle and Black Lenox initially. Soon after I found myself picking up the Red Cross and a few others. Up to 9 different backs now!!

Fantastic stuff....you conquered the "Monster" with respect to Merkle.

Is there a possibility of finding an EPDG card of this Merkle ?

Sean,

Nice back run. Pirate back was a great addition to your run. Glad it went to you.

Thanks Ted. I've looked everywhere for a Merkle EPDG since 2008 and I have never seen one, nor have I come across anyone who had ever owned one, so it seems unlikely that there is such a card. But I plan to continue searching anyway just in case. I will let you know if I ever find one.
