I encourage all DXers to insure their QSL card collections, to make
bequest provisions to lodge them with club collections and
preservation groups or museums, or if they choose to put them on the
market, to be aware of their potential value. 73's (David Ricquish,

Gee, I have probably that many from a hundred countries that I neglected
to send in for a DXCC in the 50s. You just never know what junk will
turn out to be valuable.
I wonder where they are. Probably tossed out in some move.
I even got a nice handwritten letter from the USSR asking me to send
a Vibroplex bug, in exchange for genuine Russian postage stamps.
One of the more mysterious letters in my high school ham career.
