You all realize exactly what this is right? A Silver…second class…TUXIS sheet from 1920.

Awesome.

I wonder how challenging it would be to fulfill the 1920 requirements at today’s Culver. If one of the required points is “wrestle a bear and offer his pelt as a gift to a visiting theater student” then I think we’d all be out of luck…

It might be an interesting challenge to throw out to someone this summer however, to see how many 1920 points they can knock off without breaking the law or inviting excessive liability upon the camp…

There are four days left on the ticker as of now. You can see it and other items in the memorabilia sidebar on the right hand side.
