Hardest to Find Topps Card?

[ALR-bishop]

I guess we are just doing base set stuff and excluding Topps test set issued at retail but not nationally, right

Here are some I found tough. The 1959 Spahn and Sullivan variants are included only because I found the Spahn 1931 clear and Sullivan no circle and no period versions pretty tough

For me it was a decent 57 brooks robinson or 59 Gibson at a reasonable price.

The 1985 Topps Jorge Orta is missing black border lines in a large area of the bottom left corner. It was above Jerry Royster on the printing sheet, the Royster can be found missing a large area of black border line in the upper left corner. and is also missing the black 'Topps' in that area. I probably don't have a scan of the Orta anymore, but I will put one up of the Royster when I can. I don't have the Monteagudo but I have the two cards that were on each side of it, Dick Howser and Dick Schofield, I will also put up scans of them when I can. ETA, the Nen and the Monteagudo are on the same sheet but not near each other. I forget who was above the Nen. That sheet can be found by googling '1967 Topps Uncut Sheet'.

Here are the two cards that were on each side of the 1967 Topps Monteagudo on the printing sheet, Dick Schofield and Dick Howser. Notice the missing black border on each card.

Thank you Cliff for showing these two....looks like part of Howser's signature was also effected.
