The toughest modern cards you're still looking for...

Of course I'm biased. Still addicted to the card though and continue to search it out (along with the blue tint version).

Sounds like you should start a Youtube channel, a cook group, and a 3,000 post thread on PSA's message board and in this alternate universe 2020, it should happen in a couple of months. Merry Christmas!

I don't know that I've seen one. But things you don't have going for you:
1) Most people don't realize the Johnson Marlboro "error" exists.
2) Cigarette smoking isn't as interesting as curse words.
3) If there are only 2 known, they can't really be shill bid up and traded heavily.
4) Doesn't have a long history of being looked for (like FF and NNOF Thomas).

The key word was someday. That said, I'd pay up to 10k today if I could find another graded one for sale. Beyond that who knows where things will be in 20 years but that's my uneducated guess. If we can't have fun with this why bother. Completely get this one may not be your cup of tea.

3. Arod Mini Red Ink Auto /10
4. Rip cards (Dontrelle Willis and Robinson Cano)
5. Any one of the personalized postcard 1/1's (long shot but might as well add it to the list)
