It's funny that you posted this just now. I was digging around in my desk at work this morning and found a T206 Street with an Edward Buckalew back stamp that I forgot I had.

When I was 12 or 13 back in the early 60's it was cool to have a stamp with your name and address. At that time I collected coins and stamps and remember having a stamp with my name and address. For no reason (other than being cool) I would stamp my coin box and the small 2x2 coin envelopes. I didn't think to stamp my bb cards. It would be awesome to run across one today if I had.

A couple of reasons they might seem more common on T206s:
1) Even if the stamping rate is the same across issues, there are just so damn many T206s out there that there are many thousands of stamped ones and most of us have seen well over 100 of those by now. 2) Many stampers would be more hesitant to stamp a T205, T207 or any other issue that provides a player bio or other reading of interest than a card whose back is blank or otherwise identical to those of many other cards in the same set.

It is akin to what people did with bookplates in books; just IDs it as from your collection. Heck, I knew some kids who used to write their names on their cards. It isn't like they were worth anything back in the day. I love this card:
 To me it is a blank-backed scrap from an OPC sheet but to Carmine 40 years ago it was a valued part of his childhood collection. Or this folk-art card:  Someone took a 1940s Coney Island card of Sullivan and created a custom mount for it. It is part of the charm of collecting old items to see how the wear they accumulated reflects how they were owned and used over the years. Someone went to a lot of effort to make this card; they actually made a whole set like this.

One explanation could be through the mail trades and "on approval" batches of cards being sent around. It would be a way to ID who the cards belong to while being circulated for such purposes. Not the sole reason but certainly one once you get into the post WW2 years.
