Default One of a kind card challenge

We often debate how rare certain cards are and love to shoot down theories, so why not issue a challenge to see which cards or postcards are one of kind.

I'll post one of mine which I think has a shot to kick things off (it has passed through REA and Brockelman before so don't name those to disprove its uniqueness). I look forward to being proven wrong.

Most RPPC's are probably one-of-a-kind. I've never seen other copies of these:

• C. 1910 Real Photo Postcard of Hughie Jennings
• C. 1930's Real Photo Postcard of Babe Ruth
• C. 1915 Real Photo Postcard of Rabbit Maranville
• 1916 Cleveland Indians Real Photo Postcard (Includes Chick Gandil & Tris Speaker)

Default Suits and hats

Looking at the Cleveland postcard makes me appreciate the costume department for "Eight Men Out". The movie captured the style of the times. BUT is it just me or did people just look older in those days compared to 25 and 30 year olds now?

They did look older. We have the advantages of electricity, heat, air conditioning, hot showers, cars, etc. For those players, life was much more difficult, so they aged faster.

I have one of these McGraw cards as well, but if I remember correctly mine is not tinted like yours.

And SGC mislabeled it as King of Spades, when any schoolboy would know that the pictured McGraw is the King of Clubs.

Still only THREE cards graded from the 1928 Greiner's Bread set COMBINED between PSA's and SGC's Pop Reports. These two and Joe Harris (EX Leon).

I think that is pretty exclusive!

When I got on the computer this morning I still had this page up and noticed right away that not only did SGC mislabel it, but so had I. I guess I was just reading when I posted. I edited it before leaving the computer again, but see you beat me to it.

Is yours just white (or aged tan)?

Default Larger Frederick Fotos

Here are my 2 larger Frederick Fotos that likely were the proofs used to create the smaller Frederick Foto cards.

My card is in some cubbyhole or other, but if my flawed memory serves me correct, it is somewhat tannish. Then again, I might have one that is tinted just like yours, but if so I would put that down to my tendency to wear rose colored glasses.

Frederick Foto made pictures in all shapes. My understanding is
there are many different sizes known but of different subjects, not baseball.
I don't think those are proofs just different size photos. And they are great too!!

I doubt there is more than a single player of each of the 5? known Kroger Bread cards from 1936

Default Post War....WW2 that is! :)

All 4 of these reside in my #1 Ranked Registry Set. I am only 7 away from completing the entire 66 card set signed by all! These 4 are unique in the fact that they are the ONLY known examples that have been authenticated by TPG. 1/1s they are!

Peace, Mike

Good luck finding another one of these. I've never seen the Goodwin & Co written directly onto the card before either:

I have many 1 of 1 boxing cards but in baseball here's a 1927 Trinidad y Hnos premium from Cuba:



I've never seen another of either of these:



This is one of the prize winners from the 1968 Atlantic Oil contest set:

One of my favorite NS cards, only known example:
