Any love for the Date Stamp?

[namisgr]

Most times the stamps are clear, but sometimes they're not (both Bowling Green):

Here's a cool story...Last year in the store I picked up a handful of silver age books from a guy. There was a Captain America #13 in the collection. It had a date stamp on it,October 13th,1964. The day that I bought the book was Friday October 13th,2006. I pointed it out to the guy that works for Jeff,and he looked at me like I was a dork! We got a laugh out of it!

Will pay silly money for ANY comic with the following date stamps:

 

June 5, 1964

February 2, 1965

February 17, 1990

August 16, 1995 (this was a Wednesday, there might be some ASM 408s with a date stamp)

August 9, 2000

I actually like small, unobtrusive date stamps and knowing the exact day a book was placed on the stand is very cool IMO. Handwritten is okay with me as long as it is neat and unobtrusive.

 

This 8/8 doesn't bother me at all.

 

 

I prefer to stay away from large grease pencil arrival dates.

 

 

OMG a FF 1 with our Birthday!?

 

I've seen a number of FF 1s with the August 8 date stamp (a Tuesday.) In my experience, it is the most common date stamp for that issue. If I recall correctly, I've also seen at least one August 6 date stamp -- which is odd because that would have been a Sunday.

Not a fan, think i have two books with date stamps on them.

I don't mind date stamps, but sometimes there's unfortunate placement that detracts from the book:

 

 

 

And how about store stamps? I like seeing those because they give me a sense of where the book came from.

It could have been stamped in the valley instead of the mountains

I had a Fantastic Four 1 with a date stamp of July 28, 1961 on it. That was pretty cool.

Date stamps don't bother me depending on how big they are and where

they're located.

 

I remember seeing a very cool date stamp in a thread that I can't seem to

find and it was a guy putting together a Batman run # 1 to # 50 and he was

from Alberta, Canada.

 

The thread was a running story about his purchases and where he got them

and I think he was just sort of okay with this one date stamp on an early issue.

Someone posts, "Dude, that date stamp is the day after Pearl Harbour."

 

I thought that was a pretty big piece of history to have on your book and

good to see comics still were delivered the following Monday after the Day

of Infamy.

 

That was me, and here is the book in question:

Very cool!

 

Of much less significance is this book from the Bethlehem Pedigree......dated September 27, 1961. It features aliens hauling away Yankee Stadium. Four days later, on October 1, Roger Maris broke Babe Ruth's single season record by hitting his 61st home run.

 

 

It's still the record as far as I'm concerned.

My server is giving me problems so this scan may not show up right away.

It's still the record as far as I'm concerned.

 

Then it should still be Babe Ruth, as Maris played in 10 more games.

Will pay silly money for ANY comic with the following date stamps:

 

June 5, 1964 Day your wife was born ?

February 2, 1965 Day you were born ?

February 17, 1990 Wedding day ?

August 16, 1995 Day your first child was born ?

August 9, 2000 Day your second child was born ?

I love date stamps, but I hate hand writing.

Amazingly, I have 5 X-Force #1 comics with those exact Date Stamps on them... all in red and apparently from the same stamp! What are the chances!
