Tim NewcombHi Roberta,
Sounds like an amazing collection! Congrats! I'll look forward to seeing all those T209s especially.
As far as the T209 colors go, I have one ungraded card that has the factory designation stamped on too. Scan of the back is below-- is this what yours look like?
I was planning to take this card to be graded this weekend at the Reading show, and if I can talk to someone knowledgeable I will ask him about how SGC handles this. (Unlike PSA, they don't give "MK" grades, they factor in marks to the single numerical grade.) In my opinion, if the stamp is part of the original production process, it should not be considered a flaw, but I don't know what they will say.
Does anyone else know anything about these factory stamps, and why they only appear on some cards?
