I collect T206's with stamps on them and (as some of you know) have a project of trying to document as many stamped backs as I can (see my sig for the link), but I wouldn't stamp any of my cards today. I just couldn't deface a card like that personally. Someone else will own these cards at some point and I don't want to be, as Adam put it, the dick that stamped his name on them.

For the record, I don't think stamping old cards is a good idea. As someone said, in the big picture they aren't yours to stamp.
My personal rule is if you're the original buyer, you can do whatever you want to it. If you bought it when it was one hundred years old, it belongs to history. In other words, feel free to go out and buy a pack of Topps Chrome. Last edited by drc; 08-29-2012 at 01:38 PM.

If you really want to stamp your cards in this day and age, why not use ink that can only be seen under black light? That way, the stamp is invisible to the naked eye, but under a black light BAM, there's your initials or whatever.

I think the black light stamp would still result in a reduced grade (since I'm under the impression that TPGs use them). It'd probably result in a bunch of discussion on forums about "can you believe the grade on this?"
