Among prewar card collectors owner stamps have become a badge of honor. Some collectors have undertaken the challenge of rebuilding entire collections based around a single owner's stamp; others simply acquire owner-stamped cards as a way of feeling further tied to the history of the hobby. Regardless at Love of the Game we feel that owner stamps are almost a non-factor when assessing a card's condition they are part of the story of the card an indicator that they were once loved and handled by a collector more than a century ago. Presented are four such cards - Three T206s (John Anderson Otto Kruger and James Westlake) along with a T59 "Flags Of All Nations" card of Versailles. Each of the four cards has common backs however they are stamped with the identifying mark of their owner. Stamps aside each of the four cards grades in approximately GOOD condition with clean fronts and unsoiled backs. Four common cards rendered uncommon by the stamps of their original owners.
