    its not a card. Its a letter?

    looks like Teddy's eyes are closed.

    the last .400 hitter of the modern game would never do such a thing. blasphemy.

    The exhibit is too big for the envelope?

    It's a reprint?


    It's a Canadian one?

    It's made after 1956?

    It's waaay overpriced?

    The stamp is from 1957?

    Im going to say Sean got it, ..............but he may not have known it image

    the overpriced comment is very accurate too though...

    answer:
    the exhibit card was only made in 1960 (B&W "Printed in USA")

    in reality its a 1956 government postcard (with preprinted red bar saying this side for address), glued to the back of a 1960 Exhibit card.

    also, the damage to the middle of the Gov PC doesnt show on the front, and the creasing on the Exhibit doesnt show on the back

    the postcard has your address?

    "Printed in U.S.A." didn't appear until 1957?

    Salutations did not have postcard backs?

    Did any postcard backs look like the one shown?

    Did you ask him how he mastered time travel to send the card before it was made? I would like to know so I could pick up some older unopened material.

    When driving on the interstate on cross-country trips, am I the only one that appropriately shouts, "Eeeiigghhty-eight miles per HOUR!"?

    After I posted earlier in the thread, all I could think of was being Rocky Balboa being taunted by Apollo Creed: "You're too slow. Man, you are too slow."
