Beautiful T206 w/ "Oct 2, 1911" date stamp
 

Due to an overwhelming response, I have added prices and pictures to this post rather than answer all emails directly. Upon further detailed review, a few of the cards did have some technical issues which can be seen in the scans or I've detailed accordingly. Prices quoted are for check/money order. If you wish to utilize Paypal, add an additional 2.5% or you are welcome to pay in a manner where I incur no fees. I will entertain cash offers on most cards and in any quantities.


I recently acquired a group of T206 that included a couple dozen very high end, crease free, T206 that look anywhere between EX and NM but have a purple stamp on the reverse: "OCT 2 1911". Unless they are some type of manufacturing samples, I can only assume an original collector stamped these on the date they acquired them back in 1911. A few examples are shown below for reference (all backs are a version of Piedmont or Sweet Caporal and some were stamped twice).

If you have any interest in obtaining a piece or two for your set or collection, please email me for scans and prices (I will respond with scans as I get time to make them this weekend and I will only respond to emails, not posts).
