Ed, I've always loved your collection as I have been fascinated with the Howe stamp since the early 90s.
I always feel bad having one that I keep from you but it was my very 1st T206 and I still can't part with it!

So basically the collection will never be complete. Interesting. Any word on how many cards were in the collection?

Well, Bobby, I've never been able to find any record of how many he might have had. Seems the collection was already broken by the time he died in '76 (I do have proof that his cards where in other collections before that time), and with all relative except the second cousin no longer living, doubt I'll ever find anyone with a list of the cards he might have had at one time. Part of the fun of this is not ever knowing if I am done or not. I have to keep searching.

Andy and I had traded emails at one time, but guess I didn't realize he still had the card we talked about. With his, and the four in the upcoming Huggins and Scott Auction, that would be another 35 that I know exist, but aren't mine. Of those, I do know the owner of 8 of those. The rest were lost on eBay or other auction sites and I wasn't able to contact the new owner at the time.

So just like in the last week, when six I didn't know about show up, I'm sure that will continue on and on.

Again, thanks to everyone of the board for their help in putting the collection back together. And Andy, if you wouldn't mind, could you send me a scan of your card (or at least the front/back combo) for my data base. Thanks again.

This is the kind of stuff that makes collecting fun. Who would have thought that you could have found so many cards with the same stamp.

Time to speculate on how his collection was dispersed since it's known that his cards were in other collections before he died.

How about....

His mother tossed them out while doing a spring cleaning (a long time ago)....

You know, Fred, you may not be too far off. Hadn't thought of it, but his army enrollment paperwork I found on Ancestry.com lists the address on the cards. Two years later, the census lists a different address for he and his wife, but the same address for Mom and Dad and the store.

Hummmmmmmmmm.....

I agree Fred. ..The journey is so much of the fun.....I think all of the cards got sold at a garage sale by his mom many years ago.

Maybe Howe's daughter, who never married or had kids, did have a kid, and he found the cards in the attic of grandpa's house, tucked in a box, under the floor ....

Andy:

How could you be the one to prevent a collector from achieving his dreams.

Have a happy holiday and see you soon

Rich
