Leon,

This is GREAT stuff. I hope you intend to scan the whole publication into this thread. Thanks for sharing. I'm not sure about the other posters but I find this stuff fascinating. There's just not a lot of material like this available.

Hi Fred
There are several bits of correspondence back and forth which will be posted before I need to make a decision on how much of the original handbook to post. It could be the whole thing or some portion of it, just not sure yet. We'll see how it goes. You are welcome on the sharing of it. There is lots more to come and I will put new pieces out every few days or so. Then after this is done we'll start back on the Card Collectors Bulletins. best regards

There are only several more letters but here is one of them.....**note T206 proofs mentioned at the end.

This stuff is excellent. In one of the letters he mentions "T206 booklet". I wonder what that is.

I'd love to see the strip card/T206 printers proof he's talking about.

Thanks again for posting this Leon-

Sincerely, Clayton

I don't have it in hand right now but he might be referring to Heitman's, T206 Monster booklet.
