Stamp on Back of an E92 card - Jefferson Burdick?
Recently, I became curious about the stamp that is on the back of one of my cards. After some research, I found a website that has already done research on the topic. I just want to get members thoughts and or opinion/s on my assumption.
The website claims that Jefferson Burdick (who wrote the American Card Catalog (ACC)) himself would stamp some of his cards with his stamp. Website show 3 different stamps (on back of cards). I compared the back of my card to the examples given and found one stamp to be very similar. The first example on the website is similar to my card. Any thoughts about the assumption that this card was one of Jefferson cards? Thank you.

Kind of ironic that the great fathers of the hobby randomly marked the back of cards with their ID with crude stamping devices, and now the ideal in the hobby is to have a pristine card that looks like no human being ever touched it.

I'm with Leon.....his stamp....probably won't add a ton of value to it but it is very cool. There are some different stamps he used and then there's also stamps from the Metropolitan Museum of Art where they sold off some of his duplicates that can be found.

Definitely Jeff's stamp. I do think you could ask a premium for the card just because of the stamp, but not too much. As a percentage of the total cost it would be minimal, but I would ask a premium. There are collectors out there that actively collect back stamps and a Burdick is one of the premiere stamps to own. It might take a little longer to sell it as you would need to find buyers that collect back stamps.

I've got two T206, shown in this thread:
https://www.net54baseball.com/showth...37#post1910037 It would be nice to add yours to that thread too - looks good to me. As for a premium, I think the size of the premium is inversely related to the price of the card.
