Can't remember who it was, but someone had posted over a year ago about T206s with a victorian looking F stamped on the back, and who the previous owner supposedly was. One is now on eBay... |

It might have been better if this auction had not been outed, as the seller obviously has no idea what that stamp represents. |

F Scott wrote about how he desperately wanted to be a better baseball player when he was a kid but had more success writing and acting in plays. after the Black Sox scandal he became a hater of professional sports and wrote "baseball is a game for idiots played by morons" |

I wasn't saying I thought the story was wrong. I'd just never heard it before. |

You're the best David. I know the temptation to edit it was overwhelming. |

For those who don't know, the seller of this T206 lot is Andy Strasberg. He's one of the best hobby people you'll find, and has been collecting cards & memorabilia (that I know of anyway) since the mid-'70s. He was the Marketing Director of the SD Padres back then, and I'd see him at all the shows around San Diego. |

That is an interesting story, and one I haven't heard before. I had actually been looking at my T206 backs earlier today as a result of another post and ran across a back with an "F" indentical to this one - and mine is also an El Principe back. The differnce is that the example in the auction appears to have been removed from a scrapbook (or attacked by a dog...) - mine doesn't have the same back damage. |

I just noticed the beater Kling card in that Ebay lot has similar pencil(?) markings on the upper corners and lower center as my Chase does. Does yours have the same marks? |
