Joe D.am I missing something?
I am trying to understand why anyone would believe that this card was stamped first?
I think people forget that the cards are printed on a large press sheet.
Even if you wanted to stamp the card.... why would anyone stamp a blank press sheet with absolutely no guide as to where to place the stamp?
How would that person know where to place the stamp.... so that it is not cut off (part on the card / part off)?
Stamping an item before it is printed and cut makes zero sense.
In all of my years in the printing business - and with all of my years of pulling wisdom from other generations of printers in my family and in my industry - I can't ever recall a time when a press sheet was pre-stamped before printing.
In short - it would be moronic.
The paper-loss explanation in the listing seems incredibly strange and unbelievable.
IMO - the paperloss PROVES that the stamp was there after the printing.
