Steve, Interesting. I'd like to see scans of this stamp please!

My t206 example (back "ghost" print) was found in a stack of thousands, with no others found. These were all attic stored vertically, subj to extreme heat/cold/humid/dry in cigar boxes for generations and no others like it in the group. Incidentally, there were several blurred wet-sheet transfers of card backs to fronts of some other t206s.

Thought Id share an interesting discovery. After having this c1898 photo for a long time, I hadn't noticed the "wet-sheet transfer" of Joe Jackson before. This may have been from a lith or photo and likely caused from tph (time/pressure/humidity). But it is blurred. PM sent
