More markings on the backs of T206s
Posted By: Chuck
Seems like this was discussed a month ago. I've listed some of the markings that I have on the backs of mine and wonder if anyone has any that match or can provide insight. |

This one is on the way to me from Scott, thanks! And I have seen this figure on the back of other cards before....somewhere. |

More markings on the backs of T206s
Posted By: brian
i think i mentioned this in a similar thread a while back. i read somewhere many years ago that F. Scott Fitzgerald was a huge baseball fan as a teen and his father would give him the baseball cards out of packs of cigarettes he smoked. F. Scott amassed a huge collection of them and stamped the back of each card with an old english style capital "f" in black ink. although i have never seen one, supposedly many of these are still in circulation because his daughter inherited them when he died and then sold his entire collection shortly afterward. if there are some still out there, i wonder if they would bring a premium? or maybe not since the mark would have to be denoted on the slab as a flaw (mk)? |

For that matter..who is this goofy guy with the baker's hat on the back of the Marquard? Quite upsetting don't you think? |

Hey Joe..I think I solved one mystery. That last card you posted belonged to Russell Sewall. |

Thanks Dave, That question has been bothering me for a long time. Now here's your mission Dave, if you chose to accept it. Find out about the life of Mr. Sewell. How old he was when he collected, who his father was, what he did for a living and when he passed. The only clue I give you is that he lived in the west. Good luck and this thread will self distruct in 10 seconds. 9, 8, 7. |

Here are three of the five I know I missed on eBay before I started my targeted collection. Also missed were a J.J. Clarke and a Waddell. |

Here's a red date stamp on one of my T206 cards which looks to be September 24, 1909. I do have a few others with other odd markings on the back so if I get a chance will post those as well. |

When I bought this it was billed as having a toy town stamp...is it? Who knows. Sorry about the front scan...I don't know how that happened?!?! |

Bump. Curious to see what happens as this thread is archived. Recently became interested in the subject again and then found this thread that I started in 2007.

I also have one with Elias on the back. I will try to post a scan if I have time.

As of yesterday, my total is up to 375
And know of 37 more with the stamp that aren’t with me. Just last week, five I didn’t know about became available and I was able to get four of the five.
