Autographed notes

Not to encourage the defacement of a bank note but why can't we have some fun with exchanging autographed notes......we can turn an otherwise regular note into a group note autographed by members at large or from east to west.

It may involve a lot of postage but be worth a lot of memories for us collectors........u sign mine/ I'll sign yours. Could be a great keepsake and maybe of future value. Like "Tom" being "Mahovlich"  or "Paul" being "Punch" or BWJM being "Shack".

Just a stupid thought

LMAO @ Don!

I think that's an interesting idea, if nothing else. Who can be the first to assemble a collection of all the members with 100+ posts? :D Whose signature will be the most rare? :-?

Oh no, this is going serious !

The signatures are fine, great mementos really,  but I  was joking about Charlton's !

A Stupid Thought is not a bad as the poorly written ariticle attributed to the newspaper a couple of notches lower.

Hey, I've made over 100 posts...would my signature on top of a Del Monte banana sticker on an old $20 bill be worth anything (more than $20 that is?)  ::)

Like most tenured collectors, I have some $1 notes of limited value that i give away to young collectors/relatives etc. For example, there are a number of Unc 1973 $1 notes I received from the far north that were sent to me in response to having sent an old Charlton Catalogue to someone that could not obtain one (sold out/time of year). These notes were at the bottom of stacks in the payroll office and moved in/out and therefore bear the marks on the reverse but are otherwise Unc (therefore of limited value).

I am today sending one of those notes to a CPMF member, autographed and dated by me. Particulars are 1973 $1 Crow/Bouey AMG 6778410 ......let's see where it lands.

Wow, over 100 huh?  I hope the Queen sang "Happy Birthday" to you!  You must remember the 1912 $5 Train notes then; you would have been about 12 when they entered circulation.  :D
