My Christmas present to fellow forum members is a glimpse at a collectable great white whale -- occasionally spotted online but never seen in person. This American Bank Note item was issued in 1993. It's a reprint of a St. Nicholas Bank of New York stock certificate -- not in my collection, though I'd love to get a hold of one. ABNC only offered it framed and with shipping it was priced at almost $100 -- a big chunk at the time. Marketing was nearly non-existent and I doubt if more than a handful of these were sold. I imagine it will be on my wish list for a long time.

Best wishes to one and al this yuletide season and best of luck in your hobby hunting during the new year.

He looks like he is smoking a pipe. You can tell that image is from a bygone era...

Here's a close-up of that vignette on something else.

Greg that is a fantastic item. Good hunting as that is certainly a tough original to find.

I just discovered there is one of these listed on ebay right now. I think this may actually be a proof of the original stock certificate, so the price is probably reasonable, but it's still out of my price range.

A small hoard of these St. Nicholas Bank reprint stocks finally appeared on the market! These are being sold (unframed) as a fundraiser for the Souvenir Card Collectors Society at a reasonable price for such a scarce item. Send me a message if you are interested.

This has also been given a catalog number: FSO-1993A
