Gilliam Squires Back Stamp Project

Very cool, and I think if you keep your eyes peeled you will reel in some more over time.

It's interesting to now have some cards from an original collector tied to the area. Let me know if you see any that become available.

Marc best of luck continuing Jason's Gilliam Squires stamp collection rebuild.

I think it should be noted that Ed McCollum has inspired a new type of card collecting with his noble pursuit of reuniting an original collection with the aid of that original collector's back stamp. I'm sure Howe McCormick would approve.

Guess you gentleman are "Restorative Collectors" with "Second Chance" collections.

Best of luck in your hunt to reunite the cards of a past collector.

Thanks, guys. Seems like a fun thing to occupy my time, without breaking the bank.
