Posted By: <b>Chris Counts</b><p>Here is a 1940 Play Ball colorized proof. I have currently have four of them, but this is the only one I've managed to get graded. SGC supposedly graded just a few of them before a somebody with clout in the hobby started raising hell about them (that's the story I got from both GAI and SGC). I'm convinced they're real, and graders from both companies agreed with me, off the record ...<br /><br /><img src="http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e278/ccmcnutt/demaree.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Eric Brehm</b><p>This 1933 Goudey card of Glenn Myatt is not scarce in general, but it is rather hard to find in top condition, partly because it is from the 'low number' series where inferior card stock was used:<br /><br /><img src="http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r143/ebrehm1/33G010_Glenn_Myatt.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Paul S</b><p>Nice question! I don't have any pop reports, but pre-war I'll take a shot with my t206 Duffy Red Hindu.<br />Post-war I'll guess again with, oddly enough, a '49 Bowman Schoendienst with a slate/gray background printing error. They don't come up all that often on the secondary market (so says Beckett, anyway.)<br /><br /><img src="http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z26/pspec/T206_Duffy_f-b_Hindu_Red.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z26/pspec/Bowman_49_Schoendienst_slate.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Jim Clarke</b><p>Looking at all the photos my first question is define a baseball card? Anything with a player on it made out of paper? I've seen a Game Card/19th century advertising piece/postcard/CDV/Cabinet/Silk/Supplement/Die cut/and football player. So I guess I really do not know what to post???

Posted By: <b>Joseph</b><p>I discovered this forum after this card found me, literally falling out of a hole my ceiling onto my head. It's a Universal Toy & Novelty Co. strip card circa 1929. I know it's pathetic, but I love it. And it is very rare, indeed.<br /><br /><img src="http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z36/1969mets_2007/jimelliotcard.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Paul S</b><p>...and Paige's smile is an absolute joy -- priceless!<br /><br />Also, any idea of the multiplier on the Bowmans?<br />It's funny, I never gave much thought to my scarcest (LEON, great topic) -- as opposed to most expensive (by today's value), but having to think about it I was surprised that maybe the Bowman errors really ARE my scarcest. Imagine that, with it all.

Posted By: <b>Anonymous</b><p>Leon has three E92's listed with wrong backs, one of which is the same as yours, a menagerie. But no Mcgraw, so your in luck still 1 of 1 as far as i know... <br />Leon I noticed the SGC slabs say your Young and Magee were e101 and e102, looks like all they did was guess. Im almost positive there E92's too since these actually do show up with wrong backs. Have you talked to them about having these slabbed correctly?

Posted By: <b>Greg Theberge</b><p>Great Card Zach!<br /><br /><img src="http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z192/HiNeighbor_2007/jamesryan.jpg"><br /><br />But how does SGC mark this 1872 piece as the Boston Red Sox???<br /><br /><br />This would be my rarest Baseball "Card"... <br /><br />It's a card, it's baseball (1st World Series) and it's definitely RARE (very, very Rare). Maybe I should be showing this in the other post regarding the essoteric definition of just what is considered a "Card" (?) <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br /><img src="http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z192/HiNeighbor_2007/root1.jpg"><br /><br />Greg

Posted By: <b>Zach Rice</b><p>Greg-<br /><br />I cannot answer that question. My guess it is just a labeling error due to ignorance of the team. The label on the holder should say "Boston Red Stockings", not "Boston Red Sox". It may have been the case that SGC could not fit the words “Boston Red Stockings” on the paper label. I guess they thought they could just shorten the team's name by putting “Boston Red Sox” on the holder, unfortunately, this is not correct.<br />

Posted By: <b>Greg Theberge</b><p>It's still an awesome card Zach despite the label. I love the pendant/pin.

Posted By: <b>Zach Rice</b><p>Thanks Greg. I agree, the holder shouldn't matter. As a matter of fact, Mr. Ryan is now frammed in such a way that the label of in the SGC holder can not be seen <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>.

Posted By: <b>Scott Elkins</b><p>Only one question - How in the world did you get SGC to assign that card a numerical grade???? SGC must not like me, as they even send back cards I send them that are cut short from the factory with only an authentic grade (then, I have seen the SAME cards graded numerical grades when they appear in Mastro auction lots, long after I got rid of them). Guess I need to talk Jay into letting SGC advertise on our forum, so I can get handcut cards like that Welch into holders with a numerical grade!?!? <br /><br />This last line is JOKE, as I know the card was graded before SGC was advertising with Leon. I even have the old Lipset catalog where Leon won it from. I don't feel it deserves a numerical grade however no matter when it was graded - Authentic would be fine, but with all the trimming, not a numerical grade certainly (no matter which grading company slabbed it nor when).<img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>I am not positive it's hand cut but it does look like it. I guess we could ask Derek Grady as he graded it. I still say any card that was hand cut should only get an A or a numerical grade with the qualifier of "handcut"...thanks for being part of the best vintage baseball card chatboard on the net too...It's a pretty friendly place most times... <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>....

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>I know you do....I have never said I have been doing this a long time. Quite the contrary. I realize I am a newbie relative to a lot of the board....but I am trying my hardest to catch up. Unfortunately I know few that are more addicted than I am.... <img src="/images/sad.gif" height=14 width=14>......I must spend 12 hours a day collecting...I guess I can hijack this thread since it's mine...I got 3-4 boxes of cards today and my wife didn't even blink...she's numbed to it.......

Posted By: <b>Scott Mosley</b><p>Sorry for posting these (yet again) but they are appropriate for the thread.<br /><br />The Cobb and Wagner were not catalogued until I contacted Bob Lemke back around 1998 regarding these (and six other cards from the set) so they're very possibly the only examples extant.<br /><br /><IMG SRC="http://home.comcast.net/~phlflyer1/baseball/ASBP/ASBP_Cobb.JPG"><br /><br /><IMG SRC="http://home.comcast.net/~phlflyer1/baseball/ASBP/ASBP_Wagner.JPG"><br /><br /><A HREF="http://home.comcast.net/~jillmay5/baseball/ASBP/ASBP_SCD_Article.pdf" target=_blank>SCD Article</A>
