Show Your One Of A Kind Item
 

what do you have in your collection that is so rare, you might be the only one with a copy?

you first

We don't have enough time in the day since this is what I collect (till another gets found then I lose my ass). So far I haven't found anyone that has seen more of any of these from this set, 1941 Montreal Team Issue. I would have to guess there are some out there and we'll eventually see them. I think these cost around $25 each so it's not a huge deal, but they are still quite rare and one of a kind as far as I know.

I think Ive seen another 1948 Bengamin Franklin Half dollar before :)
Hope you dont lose your ass to bad on that one.

It shouldn't go below .50 :). Actually, I think I paid about 20 bucks for it but it's pretty nice.....

Gotta feel for a guy named Ed Head . . .

Isnt this kinda the same as your toughest card?

Maybe, but it's sort of akin to 2 T206 threads. Our T206 collectors don't complain about too many of those threads. I will be darned if I complain about type-collecting or scarce card threads.

Fantastic card.

I have never seen another one of these, so I like to think it is one of a kind. Anyone else ever seen one?

Hi Colt- it's a nice trade card, but I've had at least a couple of them over the years. I always did like it though.

I have a number of 1/1 cards, mostly boxing. Here are some ones from various eras and sets that interest me:

1929 A's premium I picked up at the National. I think it was a soda mfg.:

1904 Sporting Life Munroe-Jeffries 2-sided cabinet card:

1920s W-Unc. Ty Cobb--I've seen a few others but they've all been 1/4 of a 4 on 1 Exhibit card, not a real strip card:

1960s Israeli Cassius Clay card [says "Cassius Clay [Boxing]" on the front.

http://photos.imageevent.com/exhibit...eli%20Clay.jpg

I was just informed by a forum member that he has 12 of those 1941 cards I showed in the first post with cards. He doesn't have the Ed Head one though...so I guess it could still be considered unique. I have never seen another one of these cards yet.....

Re: Show Your One Of A Kind Item
 

Here's another Buck Weaver: W514 (Mother's Bread) version.
I hear there might be another, but unconfirmed.

Here's a Jimmy Claxton Ticket from later in his career, pitching semi-pro ball in Reno, Nevada (played for Scott Motors 1933-35, 32 game winning streak 1933-34). August 4, 1935 Scott Motors of Reno 2, Round Mountain 4.

As would be expected, close to 100% of my cabinet photos. This one is probably my favorite, having traveled through the collections of several cabinet photo collectors on the board:

The legend on the backs: "The most modern and well fitted manufacturer in the colony, powered by electricity. Careful manipulation of tobacco. Products selected. Manufacturing unrivaled."

Just curious
 

Were Ed Head and Dick Cox related?

Dick Pole too. And Rusty Kuntz.

Always fond of Pete LaCock myself.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

T206s and one of a kind don't really go together.

There is a slight offset double print of the OM ad, haven't seen another. Maybe not one of a kind.

Can't say for sure but have never seen another.

Ditto.

Wow, Bruce. Just "wow". That Duffy cabinet--and I say this with an unblemished record of heterosexuality--is fabulous.

T206 moeller with drum back---if there's another out there, i'd love to know.

T206 Dahlen Missing 'B'
 

This is a cabinet of a couple Jersey City Skeeters in Bermuda for what I assume is training. Along with stamped back T206's I also collect Jersey City baseball items from the deadball era and I was lucky to snag this on eBay years ago for a steal. The mount is in terrible shape though. But I think this would be a one of a kind piece.

Thanks,

AndyH

Love the Duffy Cab, Bruce; and those Portland Beavers Photos are fantastic, Ramram!

I don't show this one often, but I have shown it at least once before. It is one of a kind for sure and I am certain that nobody else has one! :)

Signed T206 Mike Donlin. Signed by me, but definitely one of a kind.

Hahahahaha hilarious!

Here's my son with Pete a few years back when he was a coach with the Lincoln Saltdogs...a heckuva nice guy.

Love the Chickering piece.

Wow Brad, you must have hit a lot of solo shots!

Three-card scrap puzzle

Those cards are awesome!

How do you know it's not real? Either way, that's an endlessly wonderful piece!

Wagner
 

I like to think this is a one of a kind. Dockman and Sons printed several "card" items for their candy. One card type they printed was a series of animals. Imagine opening a package of candy hoping first of all for some great tasting candy and then secondly hopefully a picture of a Hippo, Monkey, or a Giraffe. Instead you find a Honus Wagner!!
I have seen a McGraw like this, but not a Wagner.

I'm pretty sure I've shown this before, but I still love it...

That's hilarious. I have the same one...with me of course!

Newsboy John L. Sullivan
 

Never seen or heard of another.

:D I was thinking the same thing! :D:D

WOW! I think that's the coolest three card lot that I've ever seen. Did you get them all at once?

possibly one of a kind?

Here are some of my One Of A Kind Item(s)
 

Possibilities ?


These two T206's (Herzog and Lake) do NOT appear in either the PSA or SGC pop reports, so are they "unique" ?


http://i603.photobucket.com/albums/t...zogUZITx50.jpghttp://i603.photobucket.com/albums/t...ogUZITx50b.jpghttp://i1255.photobucket.com/albums/...kewball50x.jpg..http://i1255.photobucket.com/albums/...ewball50xb.jpg


This T206 Jennings is not in the PSA pop report. It's the only one listed in the SGC pop report.....therefore, is it "unique" ?

http://i1255.photobucket.com/albums/...nnings1x75.jpg..http://i1255.photobucket.com/albums/...nings1x75b.jpg



Hey guys, I know better than to claim that these three above T206's are "One Of A Kind".....but, until other examples surface, I like the sound of that.





OK, now for the cards in my collection that I think are "unique"...........


1904 Buffalo Bills Team card ...... I've had this beauty for 24 years and have not seen another one.

I don't know if there are any other copies of these floating around...

Thanks Yes. I also have the vintage Lash's Bitters trade card that is overprinted. I found that on eBay a few years ago.

This is one of a kind as far as I know...I mean how many people really saved a freshman University of Penn. baseball schedule. Never seen another. Neat Phillies item as it pictures Dooin.

I would have thought the operative nomenclature for the flip ID would have been the title of the variation , I.E. ''Val Decker Var.'' and "Metropolitan Clothing Var.'' but evidently it was PSA's "Take Your Daughter To Work" Day and some enthusiastic eight-year-old was allowed to help out.
.......Still , I think I have the only pair.......

I love that Plank Supp!

Me too!
Congrats on the pickup!

Me three. Great pic of Plank

thanks guys! Picked it up a few years ago from David Slomer on ebay. Love it!

Looks like a lotta solo bombs with over 700 hr and not even 900 rbi. Did he play for the Twins recently?

Great Plank! Been looking for one for awhile to put with his brothers in arms.

I'm not much into the freaks, but I always like when you post that Green Cobb.
Great card.

Let's try a Negro Leaguer.............

Never have seen another one of these before - E270 Marquard

I can say without hyperbole, that Ty Cobb is one of the top 20 cards I have ever seen.

Beauts! Always wondered what the Baker looked like, should've known u had one :)

Longest Professional Game
 

I posted this once before on the Memorabilia Forum, but it is appropriate for this thread & maybe some of you haven't seen it.

I was fortunate enough to attend the ending of Pro baseball's longest game, the 33 inning affair between the Rochester Red Wings & the Pawtucket Red Sox in 1981.

Using a Press Pass from the Providence Journal got me in the press box area w/ hundreds of reporters from around the world covering the game. After the game was over my BILaw took my pass into the locker room & got some sigs from a few of the principals in the PawSox victory & I have since added some other mainstays of the game.

Signatures include Bobby Ojeda (winning pitcher), Dave Koza (winning RBI), Marty Barrett (winning run), team owner Ben Mondor (now deceased) and the only 2 HOFer's to play in that game (Wade Boggs & Cal Ripken).

One of my most favorite pieces of memorabilia & I'm sure one that is unique in the hobby.

Brad Green error card
 

That Brad Green HAS to be an error card.

756 HRs, and only 826 RBIs? No way! Only 66 people were on base for those 756 HRs. Not buying that.

Has to be an error.

Cheers,
Patrick

Obviously such a feared hitter that he was intentionally walked almost anytime he came up with runners on.

Great stuff, everyone.

Bruce, that Chickering cab of Hugh Duffy is one of my favorite items I've ever seen posted on 54.

Thats because I Could Knock the Snot at of that Guy!

Why Else would they make another?

jeff.....
 

i never get sick of the green cobby i love that card......man, please leave that to me ;)

I Believe!?

I love your miscut Matty and I really love that green Cobb! But I like to show off my double name Cobb when these types of threads come up.

His OBP must have been through the roof:D

I love this thread !!!!
 

This thread is awesome. I don't have anything too unique, this is the closest thing I have- although I haven't seen a miscut quite like it yet (if anyone has one please post it), I'm sure they are out there somewhere:
