[Boatanchors] FS: lot of 26 DX QSL Cards 1950s

[Michael, W1RC]

Looks like my posts have generated quite a bit of discussion on this subject.

Old QSL cards document an event that took place, a random on-the-air 
encounter and there are many people, amateurs and non-hams alike who 
avidly collect them.  The interest may be thematic as is the case 
with post card collectors in general.  In fact HELLO WORLD: A LIFE IN 
HAM RADIO, written by Danny Gregory and Paul Sahre, published by 
Princeton Architectural Press in 2003 is a book that details the 
hobby and life of Jerry Powell, W2OJW (SK).  The inspiration for the 
book was 369 of Jerry's QSL cards that the author, a non-amateur, 
acquired after his death.  It is probably the best book about amateur 
radio for the non-amateur reader.

There's also the art form factor.  Some are very attractive and 
original works of art.  I am in the process of downsizing my 
collections of "stuff" and my QSL card collection is not exempt.  I 
want to see that the "stuff" goes to someone who will treasure it.

The lot of the 1X2 callsign cards are sold.  In fact I sold three 
lots of them.  So SOMEBODY wants them.
