Posted By: <b>Paul Stratton</b><p>I know of the mainstream issues which feature Charlie Gehringer(Goudey, Playball, etc.) but was wondering what his "rarest" card may be. I was thinking maybe the George Miller was but could be wrong. Any opinions as to what it might be? <br /><br />Thanks, Paul

Posted By: <b>Joe Jones</b><p>I am not sure but I think there would be a tougher more obscure card than the George C. Miller. Maybe some of the detroit collectors can tell us.<br /><IMG SRC="http://www2.propichosting.com/Images/450009815/63.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Bill Todd</b><p>I know this is dredging up an old thread, but why does Gehringer's card have a picture of PeeWee Herman on it?<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://photobucket.com/albums/e317/birdman42/th_PWH2.jpg"><br /><img src="http://photobucket.com/albums/e317/birdman42/th_Gehringer.jpg">

Posted By: <b>David Vargha</b><p>Joe -- GCM's are very tough, but have you ever even seen a Demaree Die Cut of Gehringer? If someone has a complete one for sale, please e-mail me.<br><br>DavidVargha@hotmail.com

Posted By: <b>Paul Stratton</b><p>I figured the GCM was not his toughest but I just threw it out there because I don't think I've ever seen the die-cut or the star player candy. Any pics out there?

Posted By: <b>Joe Jones</b><p>The Burke photo stamps are not cards but are pretty tough to get. Where would they rank?

Posted By: <b>fkw</b><p>Both types of the 1935 George Burke Stamps will be right up there with the rarest or toughest to find. <br /><br /> I have 129 different (most uncataloged) of the regular George Burke Stamps but dont have a Gehringer. I know Leon has a few of the 1935 Tigers George Burk Stamps, but I just checked his pictured stamps and there is no Gehringer (he does have a Cochrane though).

Posted By: <b>Anson</b><p>I have to agree with Frank's list. I've also seen some UNC stuff pop up here and there. <br /><br />It's surprising how many sets Gehringer was excluded from.

Posted By: <b>Brad Green</b><p><br />If Gehringer appears on the 1931-32 or 1933 Exhibit 4/1's, you certainly have to throw those two cards in the "difficult-to-find" category...<br /><br />
