I need help identifying a stamp on the back of my card.

Posted By: Joe D.

There is an old time collector dealer that I became friends with over the past few years.

He has a few cards with a 'bear' stamped on the back.

The story behind the bear?
According to this collector - Teddy Roosevelt (or his office) stamped the back of the cards with the bear as part of a political promotion.

I'm not saying this is one of those bear cards - or if that story is accurate - but that is what I heard.

I believe the collector is being honest... or at least believes his explanation to be accurate.
