Obak Stamps
Posted By: TBob
Al- there shouldn't be any stamps on the backs of Obak cards as they were issued sans markings. Through my pursuit of these cards, I have learned that several west coast collectors long ago "stamped" their names or used stamps with their initals or objects, nefer knowing that some day they would be highly collectible. The "Gilliam Squires" stamp appears all over the place. The guy must have had had a ton. I was also informed that some of the 1911s I upgraded which had beautiful fronts but tons of little tiny writing on the back belonged to longtime collector Buck Barker (did I get the name right?) who was a hobby pioneer and used to write on the backs of the card where the cards came from (seller), etc. I kept a few because of the provenance but had sold most of them already in my never ending search for upgrades.
