I always get a bit excited when some packs are found and then determining what cards if any, could be found inside based on the Tax Stamp information. I'm a collector of nearly everything, including postage stamps. I've seen correct time period stamps being used on newer packs, to try and pass them off as a 1909-1911 issued time period product. Always be very careful when making purchases, especially if it's not your area of specialty. It's not my specialty area but it can't hurt dropping $20 to $40 for a sealed pack of cards from the 1880's to the very early 1920's when I see one come along, just to mainly be used for display purposes only. I love watching video's but can't seem to help compare every video I see to Geraldo Rivera opening Al Capones personal safe, live on TV back in 1986. It was a very big deal, especially for that time period. And it was also one of the biggest flops in history, with literally nothing of any value found but still entertaining if you don't mind the twist of the blade at the end, literally killing any childhood treasure hunter that may have been left from your past adventures.
