FWIW, there was apparently a find of full sheets of Burke stamps a few years back for 40 or so players, quite possibly pulled from George Brace's effects after his passing. These players represent about 99% of what I have seen pop up on eBay in the last 5 years or so, and Alston is not among them. Other than that apparent cache of stamps, Burke stamps are quite scarce due to their nature of never being made available commercially or to the general public. They were sold exclusively to players, who in turn used them for correspondence, fan mail, etc. If anyone has any Burke Stamps for players other than those in the list below, I'd be interested in seeing them:
