Greg-that Keeler is beautiful! That's one of my favorite portraits from the set.
Ed-that Cy Young is magnificent, and I'm so glad you got it back. I love your project. I keep my eyes open for the Howe McCormick back stamp whenever I'm looking at T206 cards on Ebay.
Joe-you're not kidding about the photo quality. Those Old Judges are spectacular!
I, for one, would like to see a different qualifier for baseball cards that exhibit stamps. The "MK" designation is seen as a negative, something that lowers the overall value of a card. I find the stamps that are seen in Ed's collection, and on the back of Joe's OJ collection, as enhancements. I think they add character to the cards, and exhibit a little clue about the card's history. Let the buyer decide if the stamp qualifier adds to or detracts from the card's beauty.
