    I'm in charge of a rubber stamps shop here in Venezuela. God bless all those who keep this art alive.

    Im so selfish at times. My world, if you can get that, can be so small, yet some random pronouncement reminds that there are worlds without number.
    Atlas Obscura is taking me on a magic carpet ride right now. Thank you and your guest.

    I would absolutely love to have a full set of rubber stamps made specifically for making D&D maps!
    Walls, doors, terrain, objects, etc etc.

    My grandfather owned a small print shop in Pa. God, I miss that place. I would love to visit this little, rubber-stamp shop in NY.

    I am a Rubber Stamp maker by profession. It is a family business. I can relate to this video.

    The rubber stamp shop here in Burbank, CA closed at least 5 years ago. The decades old flag shop closed just a couple months ago. The late owner and her business would've been a great choice for an A.O. vid. These old school shops are so special.

    Awww😢 I feel for small business owners like this. I hope they allow them to open as soon as possible after this COVID-10 craziness, I will definitely go and visit and get some rubber stamps.

    The music was nice but I don't see why they couldn't have just interviewed him on the phone or on Zoom/Facetime/whatever. I would have liked to hear his story.

      You mean like Amazon does?
      I think the pissy amount that he makes is about .00000125% of what Amazon makes from copyright infringement. So what’s your point?
      Perhaps you can pick on eBay, Kickstarter or Etsy?
      Do you have definitive proof that he is infringing copyright anyway?

      You’re such a kind person. Do you kick dogs and cats when they are in your way and tell the elderly to just die already because they are taking up too much space?
