Like a kick in the gut, or lower.

I’d known for years, after talking to Howe’s daughter’s friend Ron that at one time, in the 60s, Howe had multiple boxes of cards, but always though those that still survived might come up in chunks of 10 at a time, maybe 20. No way to expect 950 at once.

Steve Lucas’ initial email was a request to contact him, they had a “couple” of Howe’s cards come in as part of a larger lot. The next message was that it was close to 1,000 cards with the stamp.

Pretty much total deflation. Still haven’t figured out what I’ll do long-term. I’ve always said I know I wouldn’t get them all, but that was when there were 36 out there that I knew of, but would probably never get. 950 doesn’t feel the same.

I can only imagine what it must have been like for a fundamental assumption of your collecting to change in an instant. Wow. Good luck with whatever you decide to do, and hopefully you'll still find meaning in it and stick with it.

I guess the bright side is that after the sell off, you'll still have the largest collection of Howes back stamp cards.
