Hi all,
I admittedly don't know a lot about prewar and turn of the century cards, but I am amazed by some of the fantastic things I have seen since joining.
I am interested in finding out what you think is your rarest card? Not ness the most expensive.
How about this...If you lost one card in your collection and had to replace it, which would be the hardest to find again given the number available, condition, and desirability of the player?
While I don't have any rare prewar cards, I think mine would be 1980 Charlotte O's with Ripken. Very limited release. I think this set was only given out at one game. I've only seen one, in person, since 1980. This one:

This is probably my rarest card. It's a T216 Dots Miller (St. Louis, Fielding) variation. Only version of this card ever graded by PSA or SGC, and the only one I've ever come across.

As far as I know it is the only 1....but I would love to be shown I'm wrong :)
