rarest fronts

[jhs5120]

... or just the rarest cards without consideration for their backs.

I'm not a back collector, so I always feel left out! :D

My N321 McCord, only one other known:

Two out of the three are practically non-existent:

1924 Crescent Ice Cream Goodall
R308 Tattoo Orbit Pepper Martin (large size) - no other Martins known, only a couple or so of the only other player (Jimmie Foxx) known
R308 Tattoo Orbit Pepper Martin (regular size--not rare, but shown for size comparision)

Very cool cards shown so far! Looking forward to more rare fronts! They are coming in from the hills to see them!

Anson OJ's aren't that hard to find... but THIS one...

[JTysver]

Until someone can tell me what cards these are, I will consider them rare...

[Jobu]

I don't have a clue what those are, and am not a post war expert, but at least the Doby and Dark appear to be the images used on their 1950 Bowman cards.

Until someone can tell me what cards these are, I will consider them rare...

Can we see the back of these? Possible Proof/Sample Pictures of the Bowman cards or reprints of some sort...

[JTysver]

Blank backs. Writing on them. Don't have a pic with me at work.

I thought at first they were something cut out from a box or something, if you look real carefully, there is a line on a couple of these.
The relation to the Bowman cards makes me think Bowman has something to do with them. I would have to date these from 1950-1952.
I can say that the guy who compiled the SCD catalogue was not familiar with them.

I know the light streaks on the Gehringer are from the scan, but they sure make that card look awesome, or more awesome than the already awesome it looks. And that Ruth, Yowzaa! Very cool cards. How rare are these?

Thanks! While I'm sure they exist, I've never seen another instance of the Ruth or Walsh. I've seen 3 Gehringers (I own two of them).
