If the letter is an "F" it's a stamp I have seen on T206's. Some people believe they could be from the collection of F. Scott Fitzgerald.

***** Of course these were older cards and were BLACK letters in Old English format....just maybe something like this was done elsewhere is all im saying????

Fitzgerald's stamp was a bit more stylized.

From the picture, it definitely looks like the stamp was there first. However, it could just be that it did not adhere to the black letters when placed on there?

So far I haven't come up with anything other than a stamp from a personal collection?? I bought some cards off of a guy who pulled them back in the 1950's and has had them sitting in a cigar box since then. I asked him about it and he has no clue.

That stamp is going to severely impact the value of this card (in a negative way)

Here is an example of a stamp's impact on grading

Thanks for the input everyone. I'm still stuck on if the stamp was there before the card was printed. For example look at the picture above and u can clearly see the stamp is over the ink on the cards. If you look at the mantle it looks like the card was printed on top of the letter F. Could it possible be a factory error? The gentleman that had the card previously pulled the card from the pack himself. He has many examples of 1953 topps but this is the only card like this. I'm going to the national so maybe PSA will help.

Absolutely Patrick!!
it could likely mean it was stamped F for fake.
