Hi Joe, Many stations do not have the grid printed on their cards. I also collect counties, and many don't have the county, either.
But it is OK to look them up and write it in PENCIL on the back of the card. I think that's in the ARRL's rules for VUCC. I got credit for all of those that I had to find it and write it myself. Also there are a lot of folks that still don't know what grid they're in! That's probably OK if they're at home, but it they're out portable or mobile it could be a problem trying to figure it out later. 73, good hunting!
