I haven't seen any poorly carved stamps yet. I don't think its possible
to do a poorly carved stamp. I think one can not put a lot of thought
into the actual image of the stamp.
As long as it is proof that I found the box, I'm happy to have the stamp
in my journal ^-^

oh believe us there is such thing as poorly carved...however if we can put our two cents in, we'd rather find even an X that someone carved on the back of a pencil eraser than a store bought but a stamp is a stamp and we aim to collect them all.
