Default As things evolve....your current focus on collecting pre-war?

Posted By: E, Daniel

got me thinking.....
What an amazing way it would be to tie the final ribbon around a collection and say "All done, on to something else", to rubber stamp all the cards in your collection with your own monogram.
On the back of course, and understanding the loss of value and public perception that you were adding to the wear/damage of a card. Realizing that all cards eventually move on to other hands and become split up from eachother, the stamping theoretically would allow for the 'reassembling' of your collection some time in the future. Especially with the internet allowing search and advertising possibilities to hunt down the cards.

It intrigues me, kind of makes me feel like I can leave my fingerprints on these cards in perpetuity and allow future owners to get a picture of what I collected and why, and what it might say about me....maybe even making up better stories than the actuality!

Any thoughts?
