One of my 1954 Blue Ribbons! Here's my 'Indian' Jack Jacobs:

And my Bud Grant:

While I have well over 60% of the set in similar condition, I still badly need the Jackie Parker and Sam Etcheverry cards though!

At first glance this looks like the quite common 1967 Topps pinup insert. It differs in a number of ways - 1) It is printed on sticker stock (similar to 67 Pirates/Red Sox stickers and 68 Action all star stickers) 2) there is no number 3) The image is much crisper than on the pin-ups. It has been examined by many experts - a consensus of opinion is it was a 1 off prototype done by Topps - not even making it to a testing phase. To date it is the only example of any player I have ever seen.

Howard, you didn't think that maybe you could have added :

4) it is signed

The mystery 'W515-2' style card at top is mine, the 'Made in Germany' designated strip of five is owned by a fellow Net54 member, and the individual W515-2 strip cards are shown to identify that W515-2 artwork/image size was utilized to create this rare German issue.

I hold all 3 variations of the T213 Eddie Collins, including the o/p.

Very cool, I've never seen this before. I wonder if there is a Ruth out there from this set. :)

Here's two 1/1 Jennings (on the SGC pop report there is also an "A" Jennings; this is the same card):

Fantastic card, Aaron. Congrats. I was really interested in it but had other irons in the fire and did not pursue it.

Incredible stuff out there!!! OMG that red sox ruth m101-6...incredible!!!! I think in my current collection my most rare cards reside in my miller run...these t216/d303 blank backs are 2 of 2 and i have both. my t216 VE miller is also likely 1/2.

Hi Glen, because of the five card strip I know that...five cards exist from this set. It would be cool if others (like Mr. Ruth) were to surface.

Idk if I’d say particularly rare, but as far as supply and demand, I just picked up the Magie error. Attachment 646197

The John Tiedeman T4 Obak Cabinet was trimmed to the oval, whereas the Claude Berry T4 Obak Cabinet is complete. The Joseph Laughlin H801-7 Old Mill Cabinet is one of my favorite items.

I also have some "color freaks" which would qualify as rare. They include a Otto Miller B18, a E92 Harry Bemis, and a E102 Red Kleinow.
