 I thought that the cards had to be signed or stamped or in some way indicated 
that a human being had reviewed and approved the card prior to it being sent.
That's the problem with eCards of any sort.  Especially moreso today than ever, 
any middle school or younger can use a free, powerful graphics editor and 
change the details on the card to make it out to any call, on any band or mode, 
at any time.  It's the signature or stamp of the operator or the QSL manager 
that makes it valid, as that can't easily be changed. 
You want to use your eCard for certain awards, like the ARRL sponsored ones?  
Print it out and get the op or the manager to sign it, after confirming the 
details in the log, of course.

 When I first got Licensed (1975) these E mailed QSL's wouldn't be worth 
the ink they could be printed with.

I remember a QSL card MUST have the cancelled postmark on it! if it was 
mailed in an envelope you had to keep the envelope. So the checker could 
see the postmark.

But at the same time while I remember that. Then what about the cards 
that came via the Buro?

no Postmarks on them.

Huh?
