There are stamps aplenty on page 1081 to be sure, but stamps alone don't 
constitute a surefire reference to Lot 49, just as little as references to 
oil, say, constitute a surefire reference to the oil-theme in GR. In my 
opinion, the stamps on page 1081 of AtD are of a more metaphysical nature 
than the stamps of Lot 49. The stamps in Lot 49 are first and foremost 
sinister, subversive forgeries, whereas the stamps on page 1081 of AtD speak 
of alternate universes, bilocations etc., and thus tie more naturally to the 
themes of AtD than to Lot 49. But that's just my interpretation of course, 
and you're welcome to yours.

Best,

Tore
