Not to brag, but our club (the Omaha Coin Club) has one of the best souvenir notes around... I don't know if you can call them "Souvenir Cards", but here it is:  |

COTW, wish I could of picked up one of those. Sold them at the last annual show, right?
Speaking of the annual show, they said we're probably not going to have one this year. Attendance was down and they barely made anything...
Cool note though!

ChildoftheWheat -- Wow!
If any of those are available -- sign me up. If one has to become a member -- sign me up. Dues?

Neat item, CotW! If it was issued as a show souvenir or for a club event, then it would typically qualify as a souvenir card. What kind of paper is it printed on? And is there anything on the back?

If any of those are available -- sign me up I sent an email to the club asking them if they were available... I think you might be able to still buy some by mail, but ill ask. Quote:

These are copies of engravings from notes, no? They're not actually impressed from plates, are they?

Very good. That would necessarily make them limited, as well.

I meant to keep this thread going, but lost track of it until now. I'm in the process of building a website that will have a gallery of all engraved souvenir cards, so I've been doing a lot of scanning lately. Here are a few of the nicer numismatic cards. These additions make for a worthy bump.

On some cards, like the spider press cards that were hand-pulled on demonstration presses at shows, the plate impression is quite apparent. Here's a philatelic card that shows this.
