What's with e104-1 and "Swift Stamp"
A Harry Davis PSA 3 (MK) just went for surprisingly high bid at eBay, $665. It has a "Swift" stamped on back. Does anyone know that that is? I have seen varying claims that it was a store--or the name of someone who has become known for collecting those cards back then. Does that mean that the card earned a premium for that? Or it got the high price despite the stamp....

I believe it was just the person that lived at that address. It appears to be an apartment building then and now. You can google the address and see the building.

I was hoping to pick up the Davis which sold this morning, to go together with the Mack from the same set which I have with the same stamp, but I wasn't going that high on it. Glad to see a nice card draw some strong interest though!

But does "Swift" stamp draw a premium or not?

No, shouldn't draw a premium - it's a stamp like any other, which typically would decrease the value. The interest and high bids were in the tough Davis E104-1 World Champ card, not in the stamp.
My interest was also in the card itself, but at the right price (not a premium), I would've like it as a partner to my Mack card with the same stamp. Similar to our T206 Howe McCormack collector - no across-the-board premium to all collectors. |

ps...to get back to topic too, I don't think the Swift stamp adds or detracts unless the card is high grade (4+) then it probably would affect the value.
