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!

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...

Eric, I own the Chesbro and Griffith portraits plus Mattern portrait and Engle batting. One clearly lists his address as 1318 Mosby St. So far only one that has a 150 Piedmont stamp has surfaced. ( I'm sure that can be easily dispelled with all the collectors here). All the rest seen are 350 or 350-460 series Piedmont. Now here is where my memory gets a bit fuzzy as I did the research 5 years ago and had a memory back then. He either lived in Portland or Seattle and was 12 years old in 1911. My thoughts are someone in the family smoked piedmonts, young F.F. saw the Chesbro 150 in a box on dad's dresser from 1909 and got the bug and started saving by the time the 350's were printed. Pack or 2 a day habit and young F.F. amassed a couple hundred quickly. Maybe stamping them so buddy's could get together and admire each others collections without mixing them up. Of course I have no way of proving this but that's the story I like to believe when I look at them. I believe there are 100's of his cards out there. He did live a long life so I don't think he was the one puffing away on the cancer sticks.

Here's one on a 1910 Obak back:

I also have, had a Russell W Seward stamped T206. I just traded it for another F.F. Baker stamped back. So my collection of Bakers has grown to 9 from 4 in 3 days thanks to 3 different board members. Isn't thus little group of nerds that collect pictures of dead men a great little community? I thank everyone for looking out for Baker stamps. Maybe some day I can put most of his collection back together 100 years after he stamped them as his. Pretty cool if you asked me, but I'm easily amused.
