I too am befuddled by your terminology. Please explain.

Thanks to everyone. Here is a link to a thread I started when I found this card on EBay. There are some very good explanations by some great people on this forum about the "F" stamp and the supposed relation to F Scott Fitzgerald. The debate is still out there, but I chose to be a believer!
Worst case scenario, I have a T206 Hall of Famer!

There's another one of these "F" marked cards on ebay right now, I just don't remember which card it is! I didn't know what the stamp meant at the time until I read this thread and was convinced you bought the card I had seen since I saw it the same day you purchased yours, but it's definitely a different card. Let the hunt begin!!!

Yes, but let's reopen the debate. Does the F stand for F. or for Fitzgerald?

The other day, I was writing a little Pirates history article and realized that I didn't have any Woody Jensen cards. It was his birthday, so I said what better day to pick one up. Looking at my three choices on ebay, I couldn't decide, so I bought all three. Same seller, free shipping, total cost: $18.50! Can't beat that. Love the prices on these 1936 Goudey/Fine Pen cards

I may have heard this before on this board, but doesn't Plank resemble the famous picture of Billy the Kid?
