Sam, You should get your money back from LDS ;) I have seen wax seals at the end of record books but not on individual pages. The only time I've seen a church stamp is on a church certificate, as on a baptismal certificate. I don't recall seeing a seal or stamp on individual record pages. Each church would have its own seal/stamp. Are you aware that you can get inexpensive copies of the records on film? At some LDS Family History Centers you can even copy a record(s) to your own disk.
