It's nice to see a Corporate Titan™ from Whitman holding true to his word……

Literally seconds ago, I was handed a letter by my secretary (I have to give this lady a raise, because now it was twice today that she got out of her chair and brought something to me).
If you recall, the other day I was lamenting the fact that a big corporate conglomerate (Whitman Publishing) took away my beloved score lines in their new Gold Dollars book. Here is the thread for reference: Score lines.
In that thread, a BIG Corporate Titan said that he would put a score line in the mail for me. I assumed that one of his minions would write some form letter (if at all), saying that their customer service center, no doubt in Dalian, would be "looking into the problem". Imagine my surprise, when I received not only an old-fashioned letter by post, but one that was not typed by some expensive secretary, but personally penned by Dentuck himself!! And included in the envelope, yes, was a score line (it's a little hard to see, but the page is bent to form a score line).
Attached below a copy of the letter. Let's all revel in this amazing bit of numismatic ephemera.

[edit] Oh, yeah, the smiley face.

P.S.: I have always had the impression from his posts here that Dentuck both excellent customer skills and a wicked sense of humor.
"Keep in mind that most of what passes as numismatic information is no more than tested opinion at best, and marketing blather at worst. However, I try to choose my words carefully, since I know that you guys are always watching." - Joe O'Connor

Just place it where needed and press it into place with a utility knife.
New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
You might want to have your secretary open any future packages from Whitman!

Geezzz...all I get are curt business emails demanding “Chapter 3 revisions by sunset today,” or other such things.
