I would guess they were all found in the same collection. Mine has that really bright look that makes you think it has been stored away in a dark place for a long time. Who stamped them is a great question. My best guess would be that the owner of the shop stamped them. Or maybe a young collector got his hands on them and stamped them. I'm sure some of these were never issued to customers, and instead given to the kids of the shop owner, caramel salesman, etc. I'm also interested in the fact that they are all "Authentic". I know SGC will give a numerical grade to a card with a backstamp, so are they trimmed? Mine does appear short left-to-right, but it isn't an obvious trim. Does anyone have one that shows an obvious trim? If they were all trimmed just slightly, I wonder why?
