HGN......Gilliam Squires
 
Posted By: <b>Bob S</b><p>If you collect E-cards you have a few cards stamped on thier back with a HGN or Gilliam Squires(purple ink). HGN must of had one hell of an E card collection...It seems like Gilliam collected PCL cards(Bishops). I own ten of these..How many board members own cards with these markings? Any T cards???<br /><br />Bob<br />

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>I owned a large number (20+) of e49 and e50 Wild West Caramel cards with the HGN stamp on the back. So baseball wasn't the only cards he collected.<br /><br />Jay<br><br>The difference between genius and insanity is acceptance.

Posted By: <b>Scott</b><p>I wasn't aware of this board, and I assumed the stamp represented some sort of cigar...stupidly maybe, but that was my guess. <br /><br />We discussed these stamps (along with the Toy Town one) on the board a year or two ago, and some collectors who would know better than I would, were sure that it was a personal collector's stamp. But I guess until someone discovers a "Gillian Squires" cigar box, or Gillian Squires III responds on our board (and brings what remains of his g-fathers collection), we might never know.
