"So over the past 47 years my fiance's uncle and his cousin have been passing the same card back and forth," the user posted.

It was bought for 25 cents in 1970.

The inside of the card reads, "Save this card. You can send it to me on my birthday."

The message in the card was taken to heart. It's been regifted 94 times between Bill and Steve.

Take a look at the card, which has been repaired with some tape to hold it together, in the images below:
