Anyone recall the "TB tine test?" I don't like needles at all, and getting stuck with the Katyusha rocket of needles (Ok, it was only 5 at once, but still 5x worse than one) was the makings of a bad day.
A free baseball card would have gone a long way to making it "better" or at least more tolerable.
Maybe the stamps were to indicate ones given out for taking that test or some other test?

Or, just similar to the Carousel discs which were blank backed MSA discs rubber stamped with the store stamp before issue.
Or as mentioned, the many stamps issued with back stamps for a variety of purposes, from repurposing a set to identifying the individual who packed the product.
