Wouldn't a scan/picture of the back of the Cobb card put the exclamation point on the post?

[shernan30]

Here's my rarest.

Thank you, Michael.

I'm sure everyone is sick of seeing T206 cards...but this blank back is the only Hoblitzell example known.

(Hi Johnny!)

[atx840]

Fun thread. Would love to see more.

Don't recall if I ever posted this one before. Completely beat, but definitely not common.

Only one I've seen to exist yet

[bn2cardz]

Only one known


Great thing about rare cards from unknown sets is that they can be had cheap. So many cards are too rare for their own good.

Only one of these is a card, but I'll stretch a bit. And I completely agree, Andy. Some sets are too rare to collect, so demand just isn't there. I'm not going for big-name players, so I can often find unusual items for not too much.

Probably unique...


...not sure about this one; ask Bugsy...


...these are all ridiculously tough...


...and this one belonged to Buck Barker (stamp on back)

Great card, but not the only one.



If you'd like to see most of the others from the set including Ruth and Speaker:

I love these threads: I see stuff I've never heard of and I've been collecting since the 1970s.

Picked this up recently: 1960 Baltimore American Brooks Robinson:

There is one Bridwell Batting listed with PSA, but it only identifies it as People's Tobacco, not if it is Kotton, Virginia Extra, or MINO. This is the only one I see on SGC. When I got it from Glenn (darwinbulldog), he had this to say about it:

"If, on the other hand, you want a truly rare card, come inside and take a look. It looks as though it's been through a hurricane or two (Betsy? Camille?), and I can't swear it was never placed under a leg to level a chiffarobe or folded into a tube for delivery by carrier pigeon, but hey, it's a Mino.

This is perhaps the only surviving Mino Bridwell (no other copies graded by SGC or PSA). It is, as they say, a true "1 of 1, highest graded!"

So if you like tough T types and Louisiana types and Federal Leaguers and deadball era utility infielders and guys who finished 2nd in the NL to Honus Wagner in position player WAR one year (1909), well, this is the card you've been waiting for."

Sold me on it. I love, still get it out about every week to look at it.

[pokerplyr80]

This is my rarest card. It's not a 1/1 like some others in this thread, but the population is low and they're pretty tough to track down.

[atx840]

Great cards everyone.

Do errors count? Two player split.

[joeadcock]

Very nice Chris

[pkaufman]

1/1 and 1/2

[Michael Peich]

This is not the rarest of cards, but it certainly eluded me until recently.

Cheers, Mike

Hey, I remember that one from the National.

By the way Chris, how did SGC decide to put Pastorius on the flip instead of Lake?

[MVSNYC]

I hope errors do count, too.

Great card, Chris!

[pencil1974]

I have many low pop cards but this is my favorite

OH MY!!!!!

[atx840]

No clue, I tried for both and they just wouldn't go for it. With PSA now labeling all error types I would think SGC would be willing to accommodate for their existing customers.

I'm assuming they make that decision based on who has the most showing on the front? Of course I'm not sure, but that would be my guess.

[mrvster]

I am tempted to post some of mine , but I wouldn't know where to start

fav- 2 different split player front, the cobb drum, the starr drum of course I am a freak/rare back t206 collector and biased

[benderbroeth]

This card by far!!! My 1914 Walter Johnson!!!

Johnny, I bet you wouldn't have any problem knowing where to start, it would be harder to know where to stop!
