Please show a card more rare than Wagner (T206)

[DixieBaseball]

Mike's (Freak happy) thread got me to thinking about the word rare and the T-206 Wagner and I couldn't help but think about all those posts we have read over the years about a collector's definition of the word rare. Well, I won't opine on the "rarity" of the T206 Wagner and it's value, but I would love to see a card you have that is more rare or scarce if you will. I am in a playful mood this New Year's Eve and would love to just keep this thread going into 2015 if the board thinks we can do it? It's simple. If you have a card that you know there is less than 75 examples known, please show an example. This will be fun... I will get it started HAPPY NEW YEAR NET 54! :

peace, mike

So what's this?

Here's a 1914 CJ that many feel is the best pose in the set. And while an argument can be made that each 1914 CJ may be more scarce than Honus, here is one that surely is...

Great spinoff thread! This should be a great thread to subscribe to...go back and drool whenever you get bored or just want to look at some great cardboard.

Sniffy5...I love that cj. That may be my favorite card/pose of any cj...just fantastical!

Of course.....I should have said 1st EXCLUSIVE basketball set, sorry.

On a side note, I just talked on the phone with a friend who met Nat when he was a kid, now that is pretty cool!

Nice card also!

Last I checked this was 1 of only 3 graded, and by far the worst condition of the 3.

1920 Holsum, none graded by PSA and 3 by SGC.

[LKeeler]

This Tinker variation has a pop of one graded by SGC, and mine is the lone example graded by PSA. Take that Hans!

[ZachS]

Jerome, that Street Coupon is a stunner. I love it.

I never really get tired of this one. On a side note, I should probably buy a better scanner...

[Luke]

This must be pretty easy if I can do it, seeing as I mainly collect t206 and a couple of the easier caramel sets.

[paul]

How about these.

[frohme]

Until recently, I had one that qualified - now in the hands of another board member.

Generally considered unique - authenticity a source of ongoing debate.

[birdman42]

I know of only a baker's dozen of these, including a Cobb, Matty, and Lajoie.

[Kenny Cole]

Pretty much all of the 1920's Cuban issues.

[edjs]

Far as I know, this would be one. Anyone know of more than 75?

Sick cards Sean....I'd be looking at those every day

Any from this set would fit the bill....

[HRBAKER]

......here's their weak sister HOFers (xc Tristan of course)

[Mikehealer]

I can't imagine there being 50+ of any T214, although I guess it's possible.

With my narrow focus I'm sure more than half of my cards are in less numbers than the Wagner. Maybe I'm wrong but I would be remiss to think any of the T209 B&W's are over 75 in total population.

[edjs]

This thread was referenced in another today, and I figured why not revive it. Especially since I have acquired more to display here!

[freakhappy]

Ian and Ted...those are gems! Loving this thread!

Tarzan Bread, not too many.

[brianp-beme]

A Crescent Ice Cream (nothing says scarce like Canadian semi-pro ball player cards), and probably the least desired super rare card around, the R308 Tattoo Orbit large size (pictured with his more common little twin brother).

There's probably 50 or so cards from the E121-80 set that are more "rare" than the Wagner. Here's mine. There can't be more than a handful of these out there. It's the "Frank" (not the more common "J. Franklin") variation:

[atx840]

Thanks to Ted for this one. Only a few exist.

Thank you for this Duffy....and, a double thanks for helping me to get some of the other red HINDU's for my "Exclusive 12" sub-set.

Ted, why don't you start a thread "T206's that are more scarce than a T206 Wagner"?

[tedzan]

......since you're tired of seeing my T206's......here is a classic 1949 LEAF card in my collection that is as tough to find as a T206 Wagner.

That's not what I said at all. To the contrary, I asked you to start a thread, just for T206's that are more rare than the Wagner.

I think it would showcase how many T206's there are that are more rare than the Wagner.

There, I said it three times so there's no mistaking my intent.

I will add that, while I had never given it much thought, I'm very surprised at how many T206's are more scarce than Wagner.
