==============================================
Hi! After reading "Fred's" great book on MPC, I noticed one
area on page 41 about the color coding 'bands' of the various denominations. I
purchased a while back, a small group of series #611 $1.00 "with a YELLOW" band.
So, you may add this to the data base. To confirm farther, "David Seeyle, if I
recall, Oct. 2000 BNR, had listed a "pack of #641 $1" for sale! So he
should be able to confirm it also. One more thought, The other two missing
denominations are the $10, and the $20. Mr. #691 should be able to recall which
colors they are! Hope this helps! Guy Araby! ==============================================

Greetings Grammers! Happy Holidays and
APRIL FOOLS DAY!
Hopefully, you will be receiving this Gram in
it's new format, with working web & email links, font colors, styles and
sizes. Yes, it's finally happening... After many bugs, I do believe Fred, Doug
and I have solved most of the problems... As a matter of fact, the above April
Fools message should be multicolored. If you do not get a colored or readable
copy, or you see an error, or even a comment, please reply to me directly
at: IWANTMYMPC@aol.com
As our humble master is away, I will have the conn, so to speak. So, I
will be looking forward to your assistance throughout the next couple of days to
spice the Gram up. Those of you who were reluctant to send in an article for
fear of not getting it in the gram in a timely manner, have no fear! You send
it, I'll put it in.

MFC patch "Under
Development" Perhaps the most striking scenario for MFC soldiers is a
development that could eliminate their need to be Addicted Festers. The MPC
patch. It works much like the nicotine patch used by smokers trying to quit.
"MPC patches applied to the body will release the necessary nutrients" "Not
addictive", but enough to keep you going. "MPC Soldiers would be kept awake, and
would be capable of surviving in even the most arduous conditions. But the
patches would only be used on a temporary basis. For more Information

Very interesting replacement. Series 692 $10 (!!), serial
number E00032007 pos 5. This SN demonstrates the system very well. Four
positions completed = 32,000 notes. This then is from sheet number 7. Note is
overall very fine, but looks extremely fine from the face. The centerfold that
is strong on the back is not even noticable on the face. Two staple holes that
saved the note from destruction 30 years ago at left. Yours for $3300, terms
possible. Confirm at: fredschwan@yahoo.com
Collectors may submit lists of items wanted for their
collections for listing here. Dealers and collectors who have these items are
then encouraged to list them or sale in the above section. This is a trial, if
you like it, send your list.
Collector wants All USAFFE and AUSA Free
Samar notes All 125th Infantry Regiment and Markings Guerrilla notes. I am also
interested in any and all Guerilla Municipal issues.

this material for sale, advertise it in the Gram!
