Though neither are unique, I would estimate each at having a total population of 5 or less existing examples.

1872 Warren Studios Ryan (This is a CDV and not a traditional card under most definitions).



1910 E104-3 Moore.

Frank, definitely not ebay. Too esoteric of an item for that platform. REA?

This recent purchase it probably considered the scarcist I own. Though maybe the W-Unc Bush I own is scarcer I dont know? I also have an Obak thats one of one at its grade by either SGC or PSA but who really knows with all the raw obaks out there.

Leon started this thread and, ironically, I got this card from Leon. I've never seen another one of Lefty.

I don't know if this is the absolute rarest, but I know you don't see them around too much...

Here's an Otto Knabe from T216 Virginia Brights. Well loved condition!
Thanks

Great Card Zach!



But how does SGC mark this 1872 piece as the Boston Red Sox???


This would be my rarest Baseball "Card"...

It's a card, it's baseball (1st World Series) and it's definitely RARE (very, very Rare). Maybe I should be showing this in the other post regarding the essoteric definition of just what is considered a "Card" (?)

Greg-

I cannot answer that question. My guess it is just a labeling error due to ignorance of the team. The label on the holder should say "Boston Red Stockings", not "Boston Red Sox". It may have been the case that SGC could not fit the words “Boston Red Stockings” on the paper label. I guess they thought they could just shorten the team's name by putting “Boston Red Sox” on the holder, unfortunately, this is not correct.

It's still an awesome card Zach despite the label. I love the pendant/pin.

Thanks Greg. I agree, the holder shouldn't matter. As a matter of fact, Mr. Ryan is now frammed in such a way that the label of in the SGC holder can not be seen .

Only one question - How in the world did you get SGC to assign that card a numerical grade???? SGC must not like me, as they even send back cards I send them that are cut short from the factory with only an authentic grade (then, I have seen the SAME cards graded numerical grades when they appear in Mastro auction lots, long after I got rid of them). Guess I need to talk Jay into letting SGC advertise on our forum, so I can get handcut cards like that Welch into holders with a numerical grade!?!?

This last line is JOKE, as I know the card was graded before SGC was advertising with Leon. I even have the old Lipset catalog where Leon won it from. I don't feel it deserves a numerical grade however no matter when it was graded - Authentic would be fine, but with all the trimming, not a numerical grade certainly (no matter which grading company slabbed it nor when).

I am not positive it's hand cut but it does look like it. I guess we could ask Derek Grady as he graded it. I still say any card that was hand cut should only get an A or a numerical grade with the qualifier of "handcut"...thanks for being part of the best vintage baseball card chatboard on the net too...It's a pretty friendly place most times... ....

I know you do....I have never said I have been doing this a long time. Quite the contrary. I realize I am a newbie relative to a lot of the board....but I am trying my hardest to catch up. Unfortunately I know few that are more addicted than I am.... ......I must spend 12 hours a day collecting...I guess I can hijack this thread since it's mine...I got 3-4 boxes of cards today and my wife didn't even blink...she's numbed to it.......

Sorry for posting these (yet again) but they are appropriate for the thread.

The Cobb and Wagner were not catalogued until I contacted Bob Lemke back around 1998 regarding these (and six other cards from the set) so they're very possibly the only examples extant.

You are correct...

Almost every one of the images from the 1910 All Star Baseball set are the same images used in various T3s and are cropped and reversed.

In this case, they used Lajoies image for the Wagner card and Cobbs image resembles that of Mike Mitchell.
