So glad to have found this one...only 2 have ever been graded across PSA, SGC or Beckett.

Here are two more toughies from my Tom Seaver collection. These are apparently from signings Seaver did at a car dealership just before and after his trade to the Reds. (The two cards are the same size even though the scans are different sizes).

1960 Post Cereal Killebrew hand cut from Grape Nuts.

Killer's total graded pop is 15 w/ no autos. Given the general scarcity, this may be the only autographed one. But who really knows. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...2e57c45bf1.jpg

Here’s another fun one. 1958 Hires Root Beer Test set with tab for my man Mays. Pop 3. Picked this one up at auction a few years ago, and luckily the competition decided to bounce before bidding it up too high, as I was expecting to pay a multiple of where it landed.

Maybe I should start a posting contest with Raulus - rare Mays cards vs. rare Seaver cards. I suspect Mays has more. Anyhow, here are all three candy lids of Seaver.

I guess it’s time to respond with my own candy lids. I will note that the 73 lids are pushing the limits on rare, although some around here argue that any issue that has more than about 3 copies known doesn’t qualify as rare. For Mays, the 72 is pop 7, and the 73 is pop 59.

I guess Seaver takes this round, with a 3rd candy lid.

I agree the 1973 candy lids aren't really scarce. I just wanted to include the complete run of candy lids.

Here are a couple more Seavers from the Willie Mays era -- a 1968 Topps unissued proof of Seaver pitching left-handed (missing a color pass), and a watch and photo/card that I believe are also from 1968.

That Mays with tab is a very special card

Here are a couple more Seavers -- 1982 Rawlings and 1985 Chicago Renaissance Society. The Rawlings is an actual card with stats on back, not the more commonly seen clothing hang tag.

Since I already shared the 59 Bazooka complete box, it’s time for 1960. This time, pop 1, although I suppose you could argue I’m a flap short of a truly complete box. Picked this one up raw on eBay for a screaming deal a few years ago.
