Default Toughest Sets of the 19th and 20th century

Posted By: Tom L.

Hard to get much rarer than one-of-a-kind sets. Here are two examples:

1894 Alpha Photo Engraving Cards of Baltimore Orioles (14 known)

1903 (or thereabouts) Allegheny (sp?) Cards

The Alphas are all in the hands of a single collector. I believe the Alleghenys were all purchased by a single dealer, and have since been dispersed throughout the hobby.
