What's the most Odd Ball set you're working on?

[darkhorse9]

Can be either Pre-war or Post war. What's are the sets your working on that have little general appeal outside of your world? Usually this means it's hard to find the cards you need since no one else is collecting it.

I'm working a couple:

Pre-War
1945 Caramelo Deportivo (just need the three big Negro League stars and the short print). I can find them, but the prices are crazy high

Post War
1977 Hostess Twinkies - the single card black bar set. I'm working a master set for all the product versions numbering 276 cards. This is crazy tough as it's full of short prints and no one else is collecting it so they never show up for sale. I still need 15 of them.

1985 Subway Discs. ETA, they are mysterious. They are blank backed with no company name on them, they were discovered years later in a warehouse, the complete set checklist and the total of color variations are both unknown and are updated as new discoveries are made. I would have also included a master set of 1979 Kellogg’s with all 158 variations but I completed it a few years ago.

Good morning Larry,

How is the Goldmine Bucks set going? Is Nellie Fox still the only known player?

Hey...that gets me 5.5% of the way there

2009 Topps 206 Mini Cycle Backs with print run to 99.

I have 142 of the 300 card set.

For prewar, the 1923 Fleer set

Not working on any weird ones currently, but the oddest PreWar2 set that I have worked on is the W9316 strip card issue. These cards normally make people sick to their stomachs.

1968 Atlantic Oil. I have the base set of 40, the Swoboda variation, and the instant winner card, but there are 10 SSPs that were prize-winning tickets for cash money. I have two. I assume I will never finish since the Agee (grand prize winner) and Banks ($100 prize winner) are likely never to be found. I did luck into the Davis ($100 prize winner), though, so there may be a Banks out there.

1960 Los Angeles Examiner Lakers.

I just completed the set of R344 Rabbit Maranville "How To..." folders. It took years.

Cool set. I'm always looking for those Atlantic and American oil cards on COMC to see if any are the rare winners.
