There are several other Grange cards earlier than the 1933 Sport Kings that are extremely rare. 1926 Spalding Champions, 1928 Star Player Candy, 1929/30 Rogers Peet, 1932 C.A. Briggs are four that all have a total POP under 5, meaning across all grading companies and all grades there are less than 5 known to exist. I've been looking for all four for a long time.
I don't know of any that are earlier than 1926. Star Player Candy (SPC) cards are designated by SGC as 1925 but most agree this date is incorrect. PSA designates SPC cards as 1928.
