I am selling cards from my father's collection, as well as my own RARE authentic 19th century Arctic cards.
Deane Cheadle, my deceased father, was a founder and original supporter of the Iditarod Race from the 1960's.
As a Charter Life Member of the Iditarod Trail Committee, dad gave his life to promoting husky sled dog racing.
