Greg Ciesielski noticed the rubber stamp
applied to
the back of B8. The rubber stamp
on back shows
"Number 1 of 82".
The "1" and "82" are written by hand.
The "82" is the total number of covers Mr. Beck printed.
We compared the handwriting to that of Mr.
Beck and determined that
Beck did not write
these numbers.
You can see his handwriting of numbers on his
printing log shown on this site.
We examined 3 other examples of B8 and
none of them
had the
rubber stamp on the back of the cover.

Most cancels are poor quality.
Except for the covers shown below, all covers observed until 2010, also have Boston MC
July 31 on face of cover.
Courtesy of Greg Ciesielski and Dave Kent, This one is clean with no
Boston MC
Another good example with a clear cancel plus note the cachet was
printed over the address label.
