No examples of this card are listed in either the PSA or SGC pop reports:

Nice! Really nice!

This was my rarest card, right now it's on it's way to PSA for grading and then it will be in Love Of The Games Winter 2015 Auction. So far there have been two graded, one by PSA which was authentic & one by SGC which was also authentic. I am hoping this one gets a numeric grade. It was a thrill to find this card and I am hoping it finds a good home!

quick edit to add: Just got word that the card graded a PSA 1. Pretty cool!

Nice Detroit Seamless Steel Tubes Cobb, Dan,, but if he was 21, as the card states, it is almost certainly a 1908, not 1907. Cobb was born December 18, 1886. He would have been 20 through the entire 1907 season, and 21 through the 1908 season. I think SGC could use a little help on their math, unless the manufacturing company got their facts wrong. It would have to have been issued between December 18, 1907 and December 31, 1907 to have been a 1907 card (and therefore one of his several rookies). Quite a small window.

Not likely a rookie, but great card nonetheless,

Larry

Larry, I think that SGC based the date on this example of the card: Link, which has a 1907 postmark.

Very interesting, Gary--I would tend to agree with you that the postmark is almost certainly correct, which would mean that the issuer got Cobb's age wrong, unless it was indeed released within that very small window in December of 1886!

In any event, Dan's autographed fielding pose Dietsch and '23-'24 Exhibit Simmons are absolute wows! Each likely to be one of a kind. It wasn't easy for me to find my non-autographed examples of each of those cards (PSA 5 Fielding Pose Cobb; SGC VG Simmons--each treasures of my own collection--I can't believe I used to carry the Cobb around with me for awhile after I finally got it in 2011).

Thanks for correcting me,

Larry

PS: what in the world are you doing up at this hour? All the best!

Glen, I still love the Cafe du Monde card. Very nice.

Ed & Jerry, thanks for the kind words re my T214 Gandil.

Glenn, I like your nice group of very scarce backs, especially the Barker Bread. I wanted this card, but couldn't bring myself to bid higher on it because of all the other cards I was bidding on in the Heritage-Luckey auction.

A pair of 1/1s from an extremely scarce set

Sorry no scanner, but going by what I've seen in auctions, ebay and pop reports, I'd have to say my 1955 Exhibit Postcard Back Kaline in PSA 6. Last time I checked, it was the only one graded by either TPG, and a continuing ebay search hasn't turned up any more.

I'm also wondering if my recently acquired 1939 V351 Ted Williams isn't too far off--a total of 3 graded between SGC and PSA, and googling reveals very few auction listings--just two different cards, I believe, which were originally sold raw in 2001 and 2011, if memory serves correctly, and which are now likely the SGC Ex that I own, and the PSA ExMt, which someone sold on a ludicrously low $2000 BIN in 2013. A continuing search for years only came up with the latter two for me.

Interesting post,

Larry

Surprised the M101-4/5 guys haven't posted yet....no Green-Joyce or Mall Theatre, Holmes to Homes.....or did I miss a post somewhere?

I only have a few where I don't think there are more than 2-3 in the pop reports.

I also have these:

I always knew that E104-1s with Nadja backs were rare, but I only recently realized how rare they really were. I purchased this Plank from the Luckey collection and when I started doing some additional research on the issue, I could not find another example of Plank. There were plenty of blank backed cards out there, but none with the Nadja advertising on the back. I am sure that others exist, but I have not been able to put my finger on another.

Both Unique
 

No idea who owns these now, but they were 2 of my favorites from my previous collection.

Wow, you pre-war guys are nailing the coffin shut here. Heck i dont even know a lot of those guys, other than looking in the recent addition threads.
I guess my rare one, is just a hard one that seldom comes up for sale much with a low pop:
[IMG]http://i1240.photobucket.com/albums/...ps5eph9rf8.jpg[/IMG]

Chris, I've always loved that card. Congratulations.

I believe it's still the case that all of the 1921 Herpolsheimers are one of a kind? Has anyone found additional copies of any of them?

My Hero
 

Here's my favorite and one of my rarest

Leroy Herrmann , spelled " Le Roy" by them Canadians
 

http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/2042957/view/1937_NEW.JPG


...1937 Goudey Premium Type 5 , included in the R314 set in the checklists , first name misspelled on the card by the manufacturer and mis-identified as well as misspelled up in the flip by the kids at Joe's place . Picture is from his few months with Toronto in 1936....he also appears in the 1932 Picture Pack Team Issued Chicago Cubs . I'm assuming this is rare because I've not seen any others in twelve years of searching....


I'm loving this thread , thank you all.; you fellow collectors are amazing .

..

Great cards everyone.

Do errors count? :D Two player split.

Very nice Chris:D

1/1 and 1/2

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

Cheers, Mike

Hey, I remember that one from the National. :D

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

I hope errors do count, too. ;)

Great card, Chris!

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 would say this one is mine...
 

I have many low pop cards but this is my favorite

Hey Kevin
Great pickup. I picked that up in a Lipset auction sometime around 15 yrs ago. I think it went for around 450, Lew commented it was a low price and I wholeheartedly agreed. Even at the price you got it I think it was a good buy. In all my (20ish) years I have seen 1 other plank with nadja back and it was totally beat. Quan has seen it too, I believe. One other was mentioned in the write up also and it's the same one just mentioned. I don't remember anything else....but always knew there was at least one more. I would guess there might be another, somewhere, but it's super rare and really neat, in my book. Congrats..

Any of these cards are rare.....

1950s Cleveland Indians Baseball Jeans PC - Rocky Colavito
 

Late 1950s Cleveland Indians Baseball Jeans Postcard of Rocky Colavito. Still not sure about distribution, whether this was given away at store events to promote the product, or made available to kids some other way. Unlike more common Indians PCs from 1950s-60s, I've only ever seen one other example from this set, Ray Narleski. Would love to see other examples and learn more details about this set if any other board members have this PC Type in their collections.

I'd love to have this with my Solons collection. Great proof. If you ever think about letting it go I'm in 110%.

@CHIPROP

most people know that I want a Red Cobb REALLY bad and that's an understatement. Nothing against you and hope you find humor in this quote:

"There was no fraternizing in the old days. I never talked with an opposing player for three years after I broke in with Louisville but one day when the Giants were playing us, Gore, the left fielder, hit home runs the first two times up. I was playing left field for Louisville and when I passed him on the way in when the inning was ended, I said in a kindly spirit"
"Nice hits there, Gore."
He turned around and gave me one of the hardest looks I've ever had and growled: "Go to hell.""

You guys have some real rarities! I can't say this is a one of a kind, but it's probably my rarest card. I'm assuming it's authentic because it's trimmed, but I can't tell. I couldn't have afforded it otherwise.

Awesome card. Jaime (who also owns one) mentioned that there are 3 known Cobb/ Drum cards. So now we know where two of them are. I wonder who owns the third. David Hall, perhaps? :)

Sorry for the gibberish, it's from my head hitting the keyboard after I fainted.

Great card.

Awesome Schalk!
What's the story behind it?

Love the Cobb Drum.:eek:

Thanks Craig. One of three known from the "200 card set" advertised by Mendelsohn in 1917, the others were Matty and WaJo (although I may have info about a 4th). I won it in a Lipset auction ten years or so ago. I went to Lew's house to see it in person, along with lots of other wonderous cards, mostly because I didn't think I would win it and thought that was as close as I would get. I've since seen/held the Matty, but not Walter. The Schalk is now in an SGC 60 holder, and should be in the pop report as well as the SCD book. My favorite card.

I think this is rare, because I have never seen another.

Joe

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.

Beautiful pieces everyone
 

:)

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

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

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! :D:D:D

Ed.....
 

guilty as charged:o

Maybe this one, only just arrived and I'm already checking on him every few hours...;)
