I'm The Fourth Owner
http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=147783
Never reticent to toot my own horn, the above thread from yesterday year outlines the history of my Waddell. Stamped by the original owner Nelson Tisdel, who passed the card on to his son Donald who traded the card in the 40s to the man I purchased it from, Gordon Soutter, who had kept the card in his collection for over 60 years. So I am the fourth owner. 3 Waddell Portrait R.jpg The card was stamped and signed by Nelson. When Nelson's son traded the card to Gordon Soutter, he signed the card. Mr. Soutter's wife listed the card on eBay, but verified that Gordon was still alive and the third rightful owner of the card. That makes me the fourth.

I've always been intrigued by the "life" of a baseball card. Who owned it? How many owners? Where was it stored for these 100 years? I stare at them and wonder where it was while historical events were going on. I think that may be one of the biggest draws to postcards for me aside from beauty and rarity. Messages from the past to loved ones in other parts of the country encapsulate the moment and freeze it in time forever. Here are two of my postally-used postcards.

I don't mind writing on the back of a card, especially if the writing is vintage and nicely done. I'm not sure who owned this one, but whoever did apparently wrote when and where he (or she) got it ...

Won these from Al's LOTG auction
Strejc was 11 years old when he got these & saved his cards until he died (1975) They came from his family & Al had them slabbed & pedigreed, a nice tribute to a collector over a century ago |

I showed these a couple years ago, but I know a few of us have cards that were owned by a collector named Elias Beasley and were later sold by his grandson. He signed his name on the back of his cards. So far as I'm aware, he's popped up on T3s, T206 Piedmont 350s, and T209-1s. Interestingly, he signs his full name on the T3s, but just "Elias" on the T206s given their size. On T209-1s, which are ever-so-slightly larger than T206s, he fits in his last initial

Postwar, but relevant
I tried to track down the original owner of a few of my cards once. It's postwar, but since it's on topic, here's the original thread.

I've got a Tisdel stamped/signed card from T206 I bought off COMC. So there are more out there.

Gilliam Squires
Here are my Obaks stamped by Gilliam Squires, who lived (at least for a time) in San Jose, CA (my home town). I hear that there are some Bishop E99s or E100s out there somewhere.
