NRS stamp on a Piedmont Solly Hofman

Hi Rich

I've never this stamp before. I'd like to add a scan to my website if it's ok with you. If I see any others in the future I'll let you know.

I agree that they a likely an original owner's initials. I see that a lot. Just never these particular initials.

Thanks.

Ya man, if you want to add it to your site feel free. It'd be cool to see if others have cards with the same stamp.

I agree with Jay. Probably the initials of the original owner. It is amazing just how many collectors stamped their cards. When your constantly looking for stamped backs you'd be amazed at how many of them are out there. Great for us bottom feeding, trailer living collectors. That according to our own BD twins who's name shall not be mentioned.

Hi Pat.

I have one of these HEM stamps documented in my project. Yours is the second one I've seen. I'd like to add it to my site if you don't mind. Would you be able to post a scan of the full back so I can copy it? Thanks a lot.

Best.

Andy,

Here's a full back scan it's kinda faint without blowing it up.
Do you collect these? If you do I Would trade you for a similar card
If you don't need it thats ok I kinda like the card myself but don't
necessarily collect them. (coincidentaly it's my father in laws initials)

Thanks Pat! I'll get your scan on my site shortly. I already have an Elberfeld fielding with a stamp on the back so I don't need another one at this time. Thanks for the offer though.

Best,

AndyH

Andy, how about this back stamp. Have you seen it before? You are welcome to add it to your site if you wish.

I hate to burst anyones bubble but those initials/stampings could have been added at anytime by anyone in the past 100 years prior to encapsulation. Even the more famous initials might not have been placed on the card by the person known to have placed them on other cards. Anyone can obtain stamping letters and create a set of initials. To me the only thing genuine about any of these cards is the card itself that in my opinion has been defaced and had its value decreased as a result. Obviously this is only my opinion of value but a stamping is not like a signature with characteristics that allow for specific identification.
