Wow! That's an awesome card. It would be interesting to see what one of those would go for in auction these days.

Outstanding thread. Well done, fellas. Saw so many cards/issues I never knew existed. Left me a bit overwhelmed.

Another 1931 Blum's Bulletin for this fantastic thread:

Rarest

Actually, the 1 player per E94 orange rule is now cracked. I have personally seen a 7 and an 8 (I believe) Cobbys....definitely 2 orange Cobbs.,...Awesome cards...
.

It is, but even though I started this thread with my 1/1 Mathewson, I received an offer I couldn't turn down...oh, well...guess I'd better print up another one. LOL

I guess you had a motivated buyer….

I used to own this T206 Tinker missing the Red ink. Wish that I still had it.

Nice Tinker here is a Cobb & a couple other rare ones.

Some wonderful cards we've been seeing. I figured I'd ask this here, because it is indeed a very rare card, does anyone own a 1950-51 Toleteros Josh Gibson, that they wouldn't mind posting and sharing? I'm curious to the amount of them that exist along with how you acquired the card/the story behind it. Thank you.

I know it's not baseball, but these are two of the most famous athletes in the world and rare as it gets, from Israel in 1970:

from my NY Highlander collection

Probably the rarest card in my collection. I probably paid too much for it, but it's mine now.

1923-24 Oscar Charleston LaModa
 

1 of 1? Probably, never seen another.
Don't mind the PSA newton rings, I should've went the SGC route!

Waiting to upgrade 13 dang years :
 

Excuse my language but :... I've been looking to upgrade this 1933 Wheaties Jack Hallet since Hector was a pup :

..The Fats Fothergill is also rare but it does appear every five or six years or so , as does his '20's Exhibits and his Worch Cigar ;


... so I'd say , yeah , Jack Hallet , rare...

..

Not sure how truly rare this is, but I have yet to see another.

This is a popular post-war variation, 1967 Topps #252 Bob Bolin 'White Streak Between Name' (bad grammar aside), that also belongs in the 'I have yet to see another' category. Whereas the white streak is 'supposed' to be more or less of a thick, straight, white line connecting the two names, this one has the same extra white ink responsible for said streak smeared all around the same area. Pretty cool...

It's interesting to go back in time, in this thread, and see cards that have shuffled between board members.

a scarce card, if not rare..

1888 N338-1 SF Hess California League.

Very few exist, probably 20 +/-, Burdick donated 11 from his private collection to the Metropolitan Museum of Art so there's 9 or 10 out in the wild.

I missed this thread during my hiatus. It has been an absolute pleasure looking at all of these amazing cards.

1946 Sears is Probably my Rarest. Maybe my '53 northland bread label is up there as well, never seen one of Schoendienst for sale. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...c61a227cab.jpg

One that is in proper order and that I can find easily.

You forgot "at a fair price"...

This one is probably mine

Nothing too special for me...not certain on the Chance population, but the Herzog w/ Sweet Cap 460 Fact. 25 has a total TPG pop of 5, as does the T213-3 Coupon.

Love resurrecting these older posts!

My rarest

Mine belong on page 100+ of this thread. But these are two of my rarest.

Connie Johnson 1952 Colorado Springs Sky Sox (top right). The Johnson is the rarest of the Sky Sox issued. Exactly how rare is hard to quantify but there are not many.
The corners are not clipped but these are inserted in the album that was available with this set when offered back in 52.

The Frank Howard Black Bio print is 1 of 10 made. I own 10% of all that were made. (sounds impressive.)

Wow, thanks for sharing.

This is by far my rarest card.

My rarest.

Probably one of my rarest cards is this 1967 Kabya Leaf #2 Hideki Watanabe, but even more rare is the pack it is contained in.

1978 Eddie Murray Rookie No Trophy
 

This may be the only one in existence.

Wow that Murray is awesome!

This one...followed by this one... (Both originating from Ryan H.)

Victory Devore
 

Love that T214 Devore Bruce...Jerry

I think that these are 1/1 rookies
 

Still...

WOW. Someone has to follow Al so I'll bite the bullet. I have a few T206 1-of-1s

Fantastic cards, Al & Luke.

Love the Broadleaf Collins Luke... very cool

Thanks Calvindog....

Great piece, Val!

Some of my rare Cubs/White Stockings stuff.

Rare Card
 

I think this is pretty rare. Haven't seen too many of them let alone the full deck (minus the Jokers), and this one is from the company that made the ruth monument statue for the park.

Attachment 618320

i find the caption interesting on this. I have both variations but neither has caption regarding mays fan club collection?

This is mine the topps Presentation Board for the 1980 topps coins with 2 gold Reggie Jackson's and Silver Steve Garvey's

It's just a notation about the former owner. Rick Kendall for many years was atop the Master Mays set leaderboard (until he sold off his collection in 2018 or 2019). He got PSA to note that these pieces were from his collection, which he dubbed the "Mays Fan Club Collection".

Turns out that I have basically the same card with the same ownership provenance on the label, just without the 7-Up notation.

This is my 2nd a Cuban Matchbox with Cuban Tax Stamp still intact and unused of Dick Sisler

ahhhh...that makes sense. I also have both variations.

Awesome. The 7-Up version is definitely not easy to find, in my experience.

Leader Theater Peckinpaugh with auto
 

Hi Ken, hope all is going well for you. What can I trade you for your 1-of-1 Leader Theatre card of Peck, which would make a nice companion card for my similar Leader Theatre of Sam Rice? :D

In honor of 1 of 1 day, I am bumping this thread. Some incredible cards.

A little "curve ball" here.
This is the only, American Beauty back of Leever's T205; that I could find, that is known; using PSA and SGC POP reports' images; excluding Set Registries of course.
There may be some Raw ones out there but I don't know about them, lol.

Here is a Canadian card from a set that is rarely seen, the 1924 Crescent Ice Cream from Vancouver, B.C.

Brian

Cool!

My wife would be taking that card away from me; the, bottom-left corner would be in my mouth, determining if it was choco flavor in the stain; she would be unaware of my in depth research.
lol

I think these two are probably the rarest (though not the most popular).

A truly dedicated collector always inserts vintage cards into his/her mouth, and has an overwhelming preference for non-slabbed cards just for that reason.

Brian

I have in my possession a T205 James Archer with a Hindu back and a Curtis Ireland E123 Elmer Miller. Both very rare.

I assume in each of these Vintage Baseball Card Tic Tac packs there are multiple flavors, such as tobacco, caramel, bubble gum, etc.

Brian

Yes, but 'Disappointment' will always remain the best selling flavor.
And remember, all flavors are 100% WAR-FREE!!!!

Only a handful combined in the SGC and PSA registries.
