Default Rare and mostly worthless: non sports grails

There is nothing quite like searching for years for a card (in my case, it's usually a first issue of a musician, movie star or other celebrity) and then finding it for next to nothing (usually). First example, Julie Andrews' first card, 1954 Chix Radio and TV (British). Second example, 2012 FaceChess Magnus Carlsen. You would think the latter would not be that HTF, but it is. More to follow.

I saw one of Buddy that was a card that was meant to have a comb attached to it, some sort of endorsement. The seller wanted something like 2 grand. It was very cool. Don't see it listed anymore though.

He also has this piece, the same seller that had the comb one.

https://ebay.us/m/i87Y6r

I would love to own a Snapshot of Buddy. Ritchie Valens is a literal dream piece as well. I'm not big into non sports cards, but the music stuff I like really gets me. Nice cards.

Yeaaaaa that's it. Somehow it was no longer in my watchlist and I couldn't find it. Would be cool to bid on if the seller ever auctioned it.

The great Bo Diddley (who Holly ripped off to an extent) did not have a card until 1972.
