Peidmont art stamps...

[autograf]

I bought a lot of about 25 of them once in a David Festberg auction mid 1990ish. About 1/3 were VG or better and 1/3 G and 1/3 were barely there. They are really tough to find in nice shape. I have a number of the nonsports ones from the 6-8 different sets issued. They are equally tough to find. Probably see less than 5-7 a year on ebay. Some of the nonsports ones have advertising for Chesterfield cigarettes on the back. Has anyone ever seen a baseball one with Chesterfield?

Thanks for showing those T330-2s, Mike....I love them in nice shape as they are so seldom seen that way. Great showing there.....My one and only type....

Leon,

Your Wagner is a prime example of how great a T330-2 can look but still be lower graded. Is there a small spot of paper loss on the back? Regardless, that is one of the nicest conditioned stamps I have seen. I would take PSA 2's like that all day, any day. The problem is finding them.

Leon's Wagner is an example of TPG not knowing what they were doing, I bought this stamp a longgg... time ago and I could not figure out for the life of me what was wrong with it to grade a 2. Finally I figured it out, they deemed it a 2 because it had glue on the back!!! They did not know that it was supposed to be gummed like a stamp. It still remains the nicest one I have seen to date, it is as fresh as the day it was made.

It's almost amusing considering they now have a stamp division that grades postage stamps.

I hadn't thought about these for a long time. The used to come up a pretty good bit in our area, but that was a couple of decades ago.

Leon, IMHO, you should re-submit that. I've never seen one in that condition!
