T206: Show us your "Marks"

[Bridwell]

I've seen at least 10 of those purple stars on T206's over the years. I'd say it was somebody's identication mark.

I have several Exhibits that exhibit this on the back:



Or as Matt (Ghostmarcelle) described this in his ebay write up, "a rare Pirate back."

Being a low to mid condition collector I have had the opportunity to come across some interesting T206 with stamps. I like the fancy script letter on the Turner card--is that an 'F' ? The Piedmont 350-460 series Lake card has the March 10 1911 stamp...perhaps when it was first acquired? As far as I can tell the Overall was first Milton Fuegy's card until his older brother George Fuegy swiped it from him. And I don't know much about the Cobb player of the Troit team, except that its previous owner thought he was 'O.K.'

There is a theory that the F is for F. Scott Fitzgerald:

Thanks T206 Collector. Now I know my English Literature degree was not for naught...it allowed me to unconsciously gravitate to a card that may have at one time been owned by the creator of the Great Gatsby.

Mike - I have seen many of these Lloyd Bolton stamps, and like the McCormick stamp, I wonder just who is Lloyd Bolton and was this a personal collection, etc. ?

A lot of 36 just arrived from Ebay, and one has a Lloyd Bolton stamp. Is anyone actively collecting these?

I think there are probably many more than 10. I have 2 in a total collection of only about 60.

Maybe signed before he bought his stamp? Pretty cool.

Chris (thread originator),

Look at item 380304525018 on ebay. The writing looks similar to that which is on your card. I looked at the cert numbers for your card and this (Cravath) card and it appears that they did come from the same collection. I don't mind this type of writing, it adds a little character to the card (IMO).
