Re: Calling all stamp collectors....
In your experience, which is tougher, the Helmar or Piedmont stamps?

Re: Calling all stamp collectors....
Hi Jay,
By far, the Piedmont stamps, as your brother probably already knows. Now if you're looking for a particular Helmar stamp of a certain player, then that may become a little tricky. Helmar stamps are a fairly large set so you can usually find an example for sale on e-bay routinely. But if you're looking for a particular player (ex. Cobb), I haven't seen a Cobb on e-bay for quite some time.
The Piedmonts rarely show up at all, on e-bay or other auctions, and when they do, they seem to get decent prices. I have seen a couple on ebay with BINs, a Eddie Collins SGC10 for $500, and the Beck that has been posted on here for about the same price. But, in reality, you could probably go months without seeing any on e-bay.

Re: Calling all stamp collectors....
I've only owned one stamp - a Bender Piedmont stamp that now belongs to Mike! You can see it in the initial post of this thread. I got it for pretty cheap maybe 3-4 years ago. Something tells me people have caught onto the scarcity of this issue over the years, and prices have slowly risen as a result. Am I right?
BTW, those Cobb and Johnson Helmars are sweet! I dig the design of that issue. Thanks for sharing, Mike.

I only have a couple of stamps in my collection, but this orange Postaco is my favorite.

I have much to trade if anyone has Helmars of McGraw and Suggs, a Helmar actress of Richie, or a Yale Pritchard stamp of Falsey. Thanks, Brian (email me at briansandy3@msn.com)

A new pick-up. A very colorful issue, I was surprised at the size of this when I received it (a little larger than expected).

Re: Calling all stamp collectors....
That is a really nice stamp and looks very cool. Is there a series of those?

Lee,
Yes, I think it is a set of 25 with 15 player stamps and 10 significant event stamps. I also believe there was an album to put them in.
