Please Show cards you believe could be one of a kind in your collection
 

After looking at some of the "lesser publicized cards" thread it got me to thinking as I look at cards I have not ever seen before and wonder if owners out there believe in the potential they own the only example? I realize it goes against logic to come out and say a card is one of a kind, but it would be neat to see cards in your collection that you have never seen another example and simply post a scan and let it sit in this thread to be proved otherwise. Of course this doesn't mean it is one of a kind, but please post a card (or two, or three) that you think might be one of a kind. (Nothing would surprise me)

Here are 2 cards I posted in the lesser publicized thread that I have never seen another, and I believe could be the only existing copy for whatever reason. The Tin Top was not on the SCD checklist up until I contacted the editor a few years ago to have it added. (My apologies for the large scans - I have no idea how to reduce them)

I think that this is the only Merkle/Brown Lenox:

One of a kind
 

I have shown this a couple of times before on this board. 1941 Eau Claire Bears Otey Clarke.

why not...
 

:D

All right Johhny, here's one:

a few pcl nominees... Orange Type 2 E100 Weaver, E221 Los Angeles w/13 players (purple), black & white E136 Home Run Kisses on thin stock.

As far as I have been able to figure out this is the only e90-1 exclusive artwork that has a blank back.

Great pieces everyone....
 

Sean, your taste in T206 is impeccable! this one's for you;)

I'll throw a few of my favorites in there. I'd suspect all of being unique or one of a kind errors/printing goofs although I don't think any really fall into the "scrap" category.

The M116 Mitchell is a black and white variation and I only am aware of one other m116 like this in existance. The e95 Cicotte should be fire-engine red but is instead neon orange. The e94 Doolan represents not only the only silver e94 Doolan, but the only silver e94 period that I'm aware of in existance. And honestly, I have no clue what that McGraw card even is! It's got the feel of a handcut caramel card of some sort and the pose is the same used on his e94. That's about all I know on that one :)

Sean,

That is an absolutely gorgeous card. If you ever wish to part with it, please let me know.

Best regards,

T206 Proof
 

I don't think you'll find another one of these. Blank back of course. Thanks, Craig

I have a bunch but these were handy scans...

This is a University of Penn. FRESHMAN baseball schedule from 1912 featuring Dooin of the Phillies...never seen another and cannot imagine too many survived anyway.

http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u...aldingback.jpg

http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u...dinginside.jpg

This is a newspaper postcard and also features Dooin from 1915. There is a Mack version which I have seen a couple of but have not seen another Dooin yet. Again, probably not one of kind but close enough.

http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u...s/postcard.jpg

Nice one Johnny. :D

Thanks Eric, it's one of my favorites. :)

Sean..

That Tinker Sov is sick!...the kind of card that sends me to my bank... to empty it..:)

Great card thanks for sharing

I think the Henry Johnson cards are pretty rare to begin with, but this might be the only example signed by the player:

http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m...psf513fc44.jpg http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps36beffb4.jpg

Ooh, that's fantastic. I collect Henry Johnson cards, and I've never seen a signed one.

-Al

I don't think there is another Eddie Collins T205 like this one. Therefore, I'd say it falls in the category of "one of a kind".

I could be proven wrong....but, so far this is the only known T206 Buck Herzog with a UZIT back.

JimB

http://photos.imageevent.com/jimblum...-2%20Ewing.jpg

there are others out there....i think there was a thread about blank backed E cards....

Yes there was a thread but none were of e90-1 exclusive artwork, all the others could be found in other sets. So though they were marked as e90-1 by grading companies they could have been from any set. I have yet to find one from the list of fronts found exclusively in the e90-1 set.

This thread is here to prove people wrong and I welcome it. I could be wrong, and haven't been looking long but I have searched the archive and started a thread looking for one. Most threads that are archived on the subject seemed to have the common theory that there weren't any found.

Ted,

I think a Uzit Herzog sold in the recent REA auction, so there's at least that one in addition to the one you posted. (Great card you've got there, by the way.)

One of a Kind... Cont.
 

Geez Jim. Nice card. Thanks for sharing! Also, many other unique beauties out there as well. Keep em coming. Nothing like owning the only one. :D

I've heard that there might be another, but I haven't seen it.

Rob

The card you see here is the one REA recently sold.

For some years now, there were several collectors who wanted this Herzog and since it was (to the best of my knowledge) "one of a kind",
I consigned it to REA to see what its market value would rise to.

Thanks for the compliment.


TED Z

Thanks for clarifying, Ted. Sorry you don't own the card.

There must be cards actually in your collection that you think are one-of-a-kind. Would love to see them if you have scans.

t213-3
 

have shown this before...but have never seen another t213-3 with an extra overprint in the middle of the card.

So YOU got the one I used a magic marker on!! I never thought I would see it again.

BTW, I could go on for days posting in this thread. It is sort of an unfair game because this is exactly the stuff I collect...

http://luckeycards.com/pe94crawfordorange.jpg

http://luckeycards.com/peunc1911archer.jpg

I'm not sorry that I no longer own this card. Had it for years. I realized a very nice profit by selling it. And, It's nice to know that
some one else enjoys having it in their collection.

To quote Kenny Rogers......" you've got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em ".


TED Z

Keep pounding your chest, boys...
 

Only one of these I have ever seen : Agler variation :

As is so often the case, you make a great point, Ted. Very shrewd of you to sell the Herzog when you did. Given that you've been collecting T206s since the 1970s and had an eye out for rare backs before most people did, there must be an incredibly large number of them in your collection that will net a nice profit when you sell.

Plus, as long as you still have the scans to post in threads like this, in a way you still own the cards.

Congratulations on the sale of the Herzog.

The only one I know of with a Cleveland designation (and not listed in the OJ book!)

The Rare and Famous Brad Green card!
 

This is one of a kind for sure and it is in my collection! It is the rare and famous Brad Green card!

Never seen another one of these - E270 Marquard. Unique pose too...

756 home runs and only 826 ribbies? I'm surprised they didn't just walk you every at bat! =)

This would be the closest I have to a unique card, e93 Mathewson with a blank back. This card was not included in the Legendary lot several years ago and also does not have the near perfect centering that those cards had.

There could be another . . . but I've never see/heard of one.

Brad - you look like a combination of Lefty Grove and Tom Glavine in that shot. It's too bad that you don't own the Boardwalk and Baseball "no slash" variation of that card. It would command a 5-10x premium!!

http://photos.imageevent.com/uffda51...20McMahon.jpeg

One of a kind, I believe.

Uncataloged Tango Egg- I think there are about 16 known, but am almost positive there were 48 in the set- besides this one Plank and Cobb have surfaced in recent years, all pre find.

Uncatalogued DiMaggio rookie, first time I've seen the Chicago American brand too:
http://photos.imageevent.com/exhibit...20DiMaggio.jpg[/QUOTE]

Adam - That Joe Sport Stamp, most likely, is from a similar newspaper publication as my Vander Meer sport stamp. Vandy was playing for Nashville only in 1936, and appeared in the Atlanta-Georgian newspaper publication with this sport stamp which looks just like your Chicago-American Joe sports stamp. (Mine is paper thin)

I am almost certain these are both one-of-a-kind. There is no image of either of them in the Old Judge book. Until recently many advanced OJ collectors thought they were erroneously cataloged. Now confirmed.

I never get tired of showing the Selee. I don't know if the Joe McCarthy is unique, but I've never seen another.

Wow, great stuff Jim!

Jim, I was fortunate enough to hear a story at the Nation about those two....incredible cards.

Thanks for sharing.

This combo might be special. There is no slot for it in the PSA registry "master set" or is it noted in the "pop" report. The card was in an "unknown" holder. I had it reholdered last year at the National.

I believe this is the only BB example of Hoblitzell

PM1 Baker
 

Attachment 121177

I've shown this before, but it fits the bill. Baker was not known until I told Bob Lemke about mine.

I call this my Gold Border Team Card (1907 Atlanta Crackers). I don't know if its one-of-a-kind, but its the only one I've ever seen. Not from a T-card set, this one is a postcard. The T210 Smith is NOT one-of-a-kind - just shown for size comparison.

Sweet postcard, Tom! is it postmarked?

For more, visit http://www.sportingoregon.com/ . The postcard shows the T210 Mascot image. It can be found in the Unusual Baseball Postcards gallery on the site. Glad to hear from you if you have postcards to sell or trade.

I haven't seen another one of these...

http://photos.imageevent.com/butcher...re%20001_1.jpg

Definitely a 1 of 1...prototype card game never produced. One copy of each of 112 cards. Handcut but PSA and SGC both grade them at usually 5,6,7,8.

http://www.net54baseball.com/attachm...1&d=1384056782

I think the WaJo-Wool's Bread and Rice-Hendlers Ice Cream cards are 1 of a kind.

Jim--Here ya go

.

WOW!!! Very cool...what's the story with this card?

I have never seen any blank back T216's like those auctioned by goodwin this past year before.

If push came to shove...I could destroy one of these millers...rendering the remaining one 1 of a kind!!!!

Checked out your site. Phenomenal collection.

Show your T206 Chase that was autographed by your butcher, Jeff. That's one-of-a-kind.

Jay,
Nice card! I knew it was possible, but could not remember seeing one in the last 20 years or so.
JimB

Hey comeon, it was Hal's butcher. I would be pleased and excited to display that signed treasure.

Here is the only Everybody Cobb

I hope these are one-of-a-kind! :) There is no T214 Gandil in either the PSA or SGC pop reports, and, as I recall, when I won this card in an auction many years ago, it was not yet listed in the Standard Catalog. The T214 WaJo is the only one listed in the combined PSA & SGC pop reports, and I have never seen another. But, oh how I wish the back were complete - if I were ever to have any of my off-condition cards restored, the back of this one would be it.

Val

Nice Johnson

Several of mine are likely one-of-ones, but only because of the autographs.

Signed T206s are getting a lot of play lately (though truthfully, I never get tired of sharing them); but, I'll try to keep it to signed T201s, like my double-signed double-folder Doyle and Meyers:

T210
 

Some really awesome stuff here guys! I didn't see a T210 represented, so I thought I better bump this to the top and give my favorite set a little love! This card has a lot wrong with the reverse. Surely one of a kind!

I have really enjoyed this thread. I wish I had more to contribute except this T205 that was picked up recently. I did have a similar T205 Stanage but consigned it.

Awesome thread....
 

:DI love this thread.....I don't care.....I love it!!! ( song comes to mind which I hateLOL).....
