HGN......Gilliam Squires

[Archive]

Posted By: Bob S

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???

Some claim it is an old collector's personal stamp.

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.

Could stamps such as these been some sort of redemption from candy stores?

I wasn't aware of this board, and I assumed the stamp represented some sort of cigar...stupidly maybe, but that was my guess.

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.
