Here is the one I have with a "Lloyd Bolton" stamp.

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.

This is the second card I've bought this year, but the first to arrive.



I'm trying to rebuild McCormick's collection of all the t206s he stamped as a kid. This is #170 in the rebuild, #171 should arrive tomorrow. That leaves 28 cards I know exist with his stamp on them (and I know the owners of 11 of those. Eventually, you'll all hear from me) and who knows how many more that will just show up in auctions, eBay, etc. A never ending quest.

New to forum so I just read your original thread about the McCormick backs. Now that's a very unique and hard to find collection. I looked at my few T206 backs as a couple had stamps, but no McCormicks. Good luck in your hunt.

Shown before but.........I bought this from a board member many years ago on ebay. I thought the writing was just stray marks and tried erasing it. I couldn't because it's from one of those oil based pencils from long ago.....I guess it's good I didn't

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?

Let me guess, there we have the guy who collects brown hindu cards find them but with Howe McCormick stamps, which he can't trade to the Howe McCormick collector unless he gets a replacement for his brown hindu card?

Geesh.... I'd like not to be in the middle of that one!

[Howe’s Hunter]

Mark has the two that he got from Jim Schnider when he was selling off the near complete T206 set he got from Mastro a couple of years ago. Jim R. just recently picked up another that I was the under-bidder on on eBay about a week ago, which means he has two. I'm not in any hurry. Eventually, replacements will be found, and I can get them. I'm just happy to know where they are....

Families find ways to work out these types of things.

I guess the only way I could relate would be if one of my signed T206s was also a Howe McCormick-stamped card. That'd be the only way I wouldn't be able to send it on to Ed...
