I agree it's one of the coolest projects on Net 54. For one reason, it's likely unique. There are a good deal of T206 collectors, but I'd be surprised if there were somebody else collecting them with this same stamp.
I also like it because there doesn't seem to be any identifiable pattern to the stamps. It doesn't look like Howe was sticking to any one back or front combination. There are commons, Hall of Famers and Southern Leaguers. There's some variance in the card condition, and a good variety of backs. I love this collection. It's Ed's quest against the rest of the world to find stamps put on tobacco cards over 100 years ago. Just incredible.
Ed, have you ever found duplicates? Or thus far, has every single find been one more piece? Wouldn't it be incredible if this entire set existed with the stamp?
