Please show a card more rare than Wagner (T206)

[MVSNYC]

Scott- killer Wagner photo.

Besides mine, there's a couple more Murphy BL 460's out there (hi Wonka), so a few known examples qualifies as rarer than the T206 Wagner...but I think that it's generally accepted that there are only about 50-75 TOTAL BL 460's that exist today anyway.

Nice BL 460 Mike.

Okay, here's a Lenox Brown. Only 21 or 22 exist, and only one with Merkle.

This thread is full of eye candy!

Bigb13- show the Cobb Lenox back.

12x16 1913 Honus Wagner photo from his estate.

Beautiful photo.
Great job.

Sorry for all the T207's, they are rare

Thanks, guys. I love this thread when it pops up from time to time, although I have to admit I get a little sick at my stomach when I see the BL460's - I had two very nice ones. Also had a Mino Wagner that was considerably tougher than a T206. My first super-rare cards was a pair of Allegheny's.

[tedzan]

I realize that you really cannot rely on Pop Reports, however there are less than 8 these Cobb's graded by SGC....None by PSA....and, I know of one ungraded AB 460 Cobb.

OK, you guys....just stirring up a little bit of late night controversy.

1910 COUPON cards....or whatever ?

And for laughs, I'll throw in a rare 1915 COUPON Silent Screen star card.

Sean- Awesome!!

Your scans are a bit fuzzy? Can you adjust that on your scanner?

[freakhappy]

Sick cards Sean....I'd be looking at those every day

Any from this set would fit the bill....

[HRBAKER]

......here's their weak sister HOFers (xc Tristan of course)

[Mikehealer]

I can't imagine there being 50+ of any T214, although I guess it's possible.

[itjclarke]

Not sure how many of these are really out there, but pretty sure there are fewer than it's T206 look alike

[freakhappy]

Ian and Ted...those are gems! Loving this thread!

Tarzan Bread, not too many.

[brianp-beme]

A Crescent Ice Cream (nothing says scarce like Canadian semi-pro ball player cards), and probably the least desired super rare card around, the R308 Tattoo Orbit large size (pictured with his more common little twin brother).

Brian

[Michael Peich]

The Evans card in the T209-2 set is scarce although not at the level of this thread. But player postcards from the set qualify as Wagner-scarce since there were at most only 2-3 of them issued for the player.

Enjoy these, and Happy New Year!

Cheers,
Mike

There's probably 50 or so cards from the E121-80 set that are more "rare" than the Wagner. Here's mine. There can't be more than a handful of these out there. It's the "Frank" (not the more common "J. Franklin") variation:

Great thread........ Nice items everyone.

[ValKehl]

My avatar is one of my favorite WaJo cards - 1911 Baseball Bats. SGC has graded a total of 34 Baseball Bats cards of all players (1 WaJo). As far as I can tell, PSA hasn't graded any cards from this set.

[Jason]

With my narrow focus I'm sure more than half of my cards are in less numbers than the Wagner. Maybe I'm wrong but I would be remiss to think any of the T209 B&W's are over 75 in total population.

[MVSNYC]

Ted- great cards (as always!)...

Question- are you sure there are fewer Cy Young Cycle 460's than Wagners?

Same question applies to several people who have posted above...how are we so sure of these numbers? Just guessing?

[Brian Van Horn]

Tongue-in-cheek:

I acquired this Cy Young circa 2007; and, haven't seen another one since.

If one wants to rely on Pop Reports....there are no PSA graded ones....and, depending how you interpret the SGC data, there are only 4 (or 7) graded ones.

Happy New Year to you and your Family.

[MVSNYC]

Ted, gotcha...great looking card as well. very bold, clean.

Thanks, happy new year as well!

[glchen]

I'll contribute this one (the 1931 is significantly tougher than the 1928 W502).

[yanksfan09]

Nice cards Jeff....

And to keep the Ruth theme going, I'm pretty sure these would work....

The E121-80 is rare "George" name variation....

[Sean]

Hey Erick. That E121-80 also identifies Ruth as a leftfielder, whereas the other version calls him Babe and lists him in rightfield.

Do you have any idea which version came first?
