Please let me know. Thanks.

His response:
Howe, no none of them have rubber stamps on the back. Thanks

Not the first time this has happened. So, am I just a lousy question asker?

Hi there.
My name is Ed McCollum. I thank you in advance for a quick minute of your time. There was a man named "Howe McCormick" that actually used a rubber stamp to mark some of these cards. I was wondering if this lot, or any other cards you own have the following information stamped on the back of the card?

"Howe McCormick
500 W. Main St., Gainesville, Fla"

Best I could do And I am positive there will still be "those people" who are going to misunderstand anything you type

Dear Ed,
There's some stamped by a lady named Carolina Brights and some more by some Hindu fellow and then a whole bunch with a guy's last name "Drum" but, no, there are no McCormicks in the lot. Sorry I couldn't have been more help.
Yours truly,
Joe Seller

Dear John Q,

I have gotten that response quite often also. "Only stamp on the card is it says it's a Piedmont. Sorry" Or the better "It says 350 subjects. Is that what you need to know?" But I do like the example given above. Think I'll be using it from now on. Thanks to all.
