I'm amazed too at how fast you were able to do it, as it's not uncommon to hear people say that it took them decades to finish this one.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043468725408104535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156436079778058931.post-66901072672085762842020-09-19T10:41:21.678-04:002020-09-19T10:41:21.678-04:00Thanks -- I'm only 46 years behind you, then!Thanks -- I'm only 46 years behind you, then!DMAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09740017654652045829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156436079778058931.post-80376960916871999902020-09-19T10:40:38.724-04:002020-09-19T10:40:38.724-04:00Thanks!

When I got a few In Action cards with puzzle backs in the 80s I just assumed I would never be able to get enough to see the whole things. It turned out I just needed to wait 30+ years.DMAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09740017654652045829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156436079778058931.post-26965490836035389502020-09-19T10:36:25.590-04:002020-09-19T10:36:25.590-04:00Thanks.

I love the puzzles in this set and in the '69 set but it never occurred to me to display the puzzle cards in 8-pocket pages. I love that idea!bbcardzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12290656676306029566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156436079778058931.post-22160174777166174432020-09-17T21:57:37.064-04:002020-09-17T21:57:37.064-04:00Congrats.
