Below is Alan Williams business I personally got this from him. He interviewed me for a broadcast of the Tennessee Traveler. Yes, I was on TV for my collection of business cards. A few times actually. The broadcast aired May 22, 2006. It aired some of my own business cards, famous business cards and unusual business cards. Stay tuned to my blog and I will share the segment with you. It even shows Alan Williams dropping off one of his business cards in my bin. I have had this one for a while as you can see. Alan Williams even autographed the back and gave me a small message on the back as well.

Some of you ask how I got most of these business cards? I simply just wrote them and got one back. Some of them I also included a SASE (Self-addressed Stamped Envelope). No I will not give out their information. I also had my own business cards printed up stating I was a Collector of Business Cards as well.

This is just one of the other famous business cards in my collection. If you subscribe to my feed and/or get email alerts of new post you will be able to stay up-to-date on new business cards I post into my blog.
