The Signman of Baton Rouge produces a very nice verified-by stamp. They 
will be at Dayton, but their lineups are usually quite massive. I think 
they're in the east building or the northeast -- not sure, but one of the 
big high-ceiling concrete rooms, not the wooden-floor rooms or the main arena.

I got my personal stamp done by the J.P. Cooke Company in Omaha, NE. It's a 
better quality product (X-stamper), but I have no complaints with the 
Signman's stamp either, which is for our club. I just got done stamping 
about 600 cards and each one looks good.

I don't remember what my X-Stamper cost (I think it was fairly expensive), 
but the custom one our club had done was $20.63 and if you just wanted the 
stock design it was $14 or so. Well worth it, IMHO.

Speaking of rubber stamps, if your're getting one done, here's another one 
to consider: I had a little stamp made that reads  "73 de W2IRT" which gets 
stamped under the flap of the return envelope; that way if my envelope ever 
becomes separated from my card by a manager it's easier to recover.
