If you look closely, you can see the "remnants" are basically dust some 8 years after I pulled the card.
The card actually commemorates John F. Kennedy's speech at the Berlin Wall on June 26, 1963. A few of his more famous words appear in the quote on the back of the card.
"Freedom is indivisible, and when one man is enslaved, all are not free. When all are free, then we can look forward to that day when this city will be joined as one and this country and this great continent of Europe in a peaceful and hopeful globe...All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin, and, therefore, as a free man, I take pride in the words Ich bin ein Berliner." I suppose it is a good thing the Wall wasn't in Frankfurt, otherwise Kennedy would have "bin ein Frankfurter."
This is by far the coolest non-sports card I've pulled. I'm fascinated by history so I like to pull this card out now and then and look at it.
Awesome!! that's about all I can say!!
