You wrote: Someone jokingly directed me to a post of yours... I am at loss to understand why anyone would make a connection since I did not name you or say that it was a membership card. Very interesting, to say the least.

I was not kidding when I said the card was damaged. The card is exactly as I described it. As a matter of fact, I sent the card and envelope to another member for a second opinion. When it comes back to me, I will gladly send it to you so that you can see for yourself. A small piece of tape secured to a quarter inch section of the card would have sufficed. A scan of the back of the card is below, but I think all that can be seen is where the magnetic strip became damaged from the tape and the gobs of adhesive that remained.

Since I have no plans to attend a convention or other Club function, I really do not need a replacement card. The Club magazine is the only way that my membership is utilized.
I doubt you'll hear from me directly again.
