[Boatanchors] FS: lot of 26 DX QSL Cards 1950s (Mostly) 1960s

[Carl]

I had an uncle who was a printer and he came up with a fancy 3 color glossy 
card as a yearly Christmas present.

Later when I had to buy my own I found out how expensive and went with a 
single color but never had one of those paper mill cards.
