T206Collector...about collecting your stamped T206 cards holds true for one of the best things about my parallel T206 pursuit of autographed T206 cards: condition and grade of the card are really irrelevant, at least in terms of acquisition -- i.e., you buy what you see with the stamp, regardless of condition, since the condition is secondary to the stamp.
Rather than limiting, it is a really liberating way of collecting pre-war cards. It also keeps you to a fixed budget, and preserves the thrill of the hunt, for these special T206 cards.
One question: ever seen a Howe McCormick stamp on anything other than a T206? When I started seeing signatures on T201s, T202s and T205s, I had to expand my collecting scope to accommodate them.
