I thought is was interesting, as I'm sure many others did. I don't think that a thread not receiving a response is necessarily a bad thing.
My purely speculative, uninformed take on it is that this Obak casts quite a bit of doubt that Fitzgerald owned and stamped these cards.

F Scotty....
Brian,
From my understanding, Fitz collected as a kid at age 15 or so (1910 error I believe)....approx....He had approx. 1000 cards that were auctioned off in the 50's by his daughter.....i'm sure there were Obaks in there also..... most have the same "F".....I had mine graded last year....was so glad to get it.....a lot are speculated, I have seen, w EPDG backs and are in fairly nice shape....I heard EPDG were distributed in the Minn .region where he grew up...  I believe you have 2 fitzies....get 'em graded now, before some douche hole goes to staples and stamps backs to get a profit....  I believe both of your cards are the real deal....

timeline
Fitzgerald spent the last years of his life living in Hollywood, 1937-1940. I suppose it's possible that he collected baseball cards in his 40's and picked up an Obak. I would think that we would see Goudey's, Diamond Stars, and Play Balls with this stamp if that were the case.
If these are in fact his, my guess is that this was an estate stamp created by the executor.

interesting....If you can find some paperwork of his, with that same stamp then you would have some breakthrough.

Thanks
Thanks RCMcKenzie for the information on FSF Hollywood stay and your possible theory, which definitely has some teeth. I never considered that he might have picked it up later in his life, nor that the stamps could possibly have been applied after the fact (the estate idea is plausible)...my mind was always imagining little Scotty stamping away on his cards like a little literary mad man.
Thanks again...this Obak sure got my head spinning about the FSF collection and how in the heck a PCL card got into it. Brian
