My T206 Ames and the Date Stamped Wagner

[sandmountainslim]

I was doing some T206 research online today imagine my shock when I found and online article featuring a card I own!
This article was apparently written a couple years ago and the author believes the Date Stamp Wagner and my Red Ames were originally owned by the same collector in 1909

I'm sure my Ames is still "just an Ames" but to me it just went up in value a notch or two I have owned the card since 2010 and had no idea it had ever been featured online.

Anyone else have purple date stamped T206 cards from 1909?
It would be nice if the original owner's name or location could be figured out in the future. Also would like to know who the "purple star" collection originally belonged to.

Awhile back we had a conversation about purple stamps on the backs of e90-1 cards. As you'll see in the thread, it looks like the stamps may have been applied much later than 1909.

Ahh! Thanks Luke! I missed that thread.

Seen a few T206s with Nov 10 1910 stamped on the back.

There is a thread somewhere here about them also.

have purple stamps on the back with "GANO LARSSON" and what looks to be "PLAINFIELD, N J". May or may not be the same collector, but figured I'd toss it in. Check the backs in this lot to see three:
eBay auction with purple stamps

I didn't get this one, because I have already gotten most of the cards through other auctions.
