It's actually a vulgar imprecation in Braille, something to do with someone's mother.

Gosh, Brian, I am still playing dominoes on a miniature golf course. No time left for stargazing.

However I do have another theory. I am convinced that the holes would align perfectly with the gunshot holes in the walls of the Little Bohemia Lodge from the Dillinger shoot out.

The first picture is a period picture of the Lodge in 1933 consistent with the probable timeline of the Weaver card's provenance.

The second picture shows the pattern of holes in a small portion of the dining room, where the Weaver card undoubtedly dined.

And the third picture shows the bathroom where the owner of the Weaver card was soaking it to remove the gunpowder burns from the card.

It's a miracle that the card survived at all.

Oh, close so close, but I bought the card (yep, couldn't resist) so that the next time I go to the optometrist I can tell them no thanks, I brought my own eye test device.

You've pointed us toward that card before, Brian. I always figured you secretly wanted to own it and am glad you won-- now you have your Dream Weaver.

Have to admit it is a one of a kind.

Card carrying member of the Denver Astronomical Society (that + $6 gets you a cup of coffee) and I see Taurus. Good pickup.

Brian;

I hear you have a Taurus card. With some base ball player on it. I can't resist asking what you'd take for it. I offer in trade:

> Three Authors cards -- two James Fenimint Cooper and one (EXTRA RARE!) Louisa May Alcott (booger variation);
> Spence authenticated Joe Orlando autograph (sorry, Dawn couldn't make it);
> Lugnut took offa Danica Patrick's Morris Minor

Deal?
