John, not sure if you are aware or not but that fancy little back stamp is actually VERY significant. It was Jefferson Burdick's personal stamp and is found on many of the cards that were once part of his collection (likely these were then traded to hobby friends as they were not part of his Metropolitan Museum donation.) Here is a T28 Aeroplane Series that has his personal stamps on back that I own that has the same stamp you have along with his other "Jeff B" stamp (mine was picked up in a large fresh to the hobby T-collection a few years back from a former early hobbiest)...

Collins is a classic.

Here's another interesting Eddie Collins.

The offset back tells us that another Eddie Collins was the adjacent card....therefore, this Collins was Double-Printed.

Ted, If there were more interested in it. Deciphering the T205 sheet layout first, may lead to great strides in figuring out the t206's

John, your collection gets a little more legendary every day. Very cool.
