After those two...it sort of becomes an interchangeable list for me. Any one of these could be "rarest" at the time. Often new finds or hordes of cards come to the market (i.e. about ten years ago, Rowan was extremely tough but a long time Phillie collector let go of 6 of them). I am sure others can chime in as well.

Josh is correct on those as well as Dahlen. These cards are only found with 3 known backs. Yes backs aside is impossible when asking this question since it determines the quantity provided to the public. Piedmont being the most plentiful, Hassan is next, and Cycle is the hardest.
These are the true SP's of the t205 set. There are some that will argue but the numbers don't lie. Others like Rowan and Scanlan, for example, are found with factory 42 piedmont and PB and thus fall into the ABCD possibility. That would be AB, BL, cycle, and drum(probably not since he is a phillie). PB was the second largest run behind piedmont thus causing a larger quantity. Many collectors hoard cards (like Collins and gray for exp) causing the fasod of it being a sp when in fact there are many out there, just in collections. As time goes they come out of the woodwork when demand is high.
