It’s right there!!
1) M118 Mays. PSA labels it as “1963 Baseball Magazine”, even though it was from Baseball Monthly. Since it’s a jumbo piece, PSA has only been grading them for a few years. At present, the pop count is only 1. Although given the relative abundance of most M118s, I expected this one would be a lot easier to find.
2) 1968 American Oil left side. This was the money card if you pulled it, so I suspect almost all of them were turned in for the $10 cold hard cash. PSA pop reports just 2 ever graded. Of the major Master Mays collectors in the last 20 years, none of us have actually ever found one, which probably further hints at the difficulty in finding them. I’ve never even seen a picture of one, but I have it on good authority that they exist.

A bit off-topic to the original post but if you were to find the Mays American Oil card in panel form it would likely be both halves showing Mays. I am not sure how many exist but I own a "winner" panel of Ruth ($1 winner) and have not ever seen another.
I attached scans of my Ruth $1 winner panel with my other Ruth and Mays pages in my album.
