T206 F Stamp

[Big Ben]

Question for the experts out there. Is this the supposed F Scott Fitzgerald back stamp? It looks slightly different than examples I have seen on this forum. Thanks in advance for your input.

I am not an expert but this does look a little off. It wouldn't surprise me if it is a modern stamp by someone looking for a little premium.

Thanks for your input. I ran across the listing yesterday. To be fair, the seller lists the item as graded and having a mark with no F Scott Fitzgerald reference mentioned in the description.

The stamp looks consistent with others I have seen. It's actually more complete than the one I have as an example on my website (link below). If the seller didn't mention F. Scott in the description then I doubt he added the stamp to mislead buyers. I would like to have that example for my own collection to be honest.

Thanks,

you might have stumbled on a gem....if it wasn't listed as such....the most seen has been on epdg.....these, I predict will be forged soon, so get them when you can and get them slabbed so they are "time" stamped......

the hobby is split wether these are f. Scotty's or not....I truly believe they are....we are still waiting on the verdict....

Thank you to everyone for your input. The card is in a PSA slab and I just purchased it on ebay. I have been looking for a F Scott card for some time but once I saw the card, I wasn't certain! lol

F Scott Fitzgerald had and stamped his own T206 cards?

I didn't win this card, didn't bid higher because of the apparently trimmed bottom:

It looks to be a perfect stamp, maybe too perfect/fresh black ink?

If it's real, I suspect it was a real bargain. Did FScott have trimmed cards in his collection? I know little more about it than what I've read on this and another thread. What does one of these go for, say in untrimmed, Good condition?

I'd like to get one someday.

Not sure if its been mentioned, but the Fitzgerald "F" looks very similar to the T210-6 Frankfort team "F". Any correlation, or was it just a common stylish "F" font used during that time?
