I know they're a little earlier than your time frame, but the 1893 Just So Tobacco cards are ridiculously rare. Anyways, I'm gonna have to agree with bijoem and exhibitman, RPPC and team/regional issues are pretty hard to come by. Probably not less than 12, but still extremely difficult.

Here's a website I found with some interesting cards.

I think FKW just listed about 1,000 cards with less than 12 copies each.

I have about 20 cards from a single Contentnea set (non-sports) that are the only copy known.

No...the t206 Wags is the highest profile card in the hobby...and as a result I'd guess most are known.

Default T206 Joe Doyle (error)....and, Ty Cobb back.
One can view the premise of "truly rare" in absolute terms (12 cards, or less). Or, another can take the view of
"supply vs. demand"....in my opinion, these two cards are truly rare, since the demand for them is very high.


Most of the 515 (of 524) subjects in the T206 set are available in the 1000's of cards. But to date, only 8 cards
of this error card of "Slow Joe" have been confirmed.

And so far, only 14 cards of the red Cobb with the Ty Cobb back have been found.

I would think any card in the E300 Plow's Candy set would count. Only a couple of each card in the set known to exist. As a side note it is a beautiful set.

Ted,

It's funny that the Doyle error you posted is the phony (or more accurately, altered) Polar Bear example.

You can spot it a mile away since the caption is, shall we say, "off."

For true rarity, how about the Schulte (Front View) Piedmont 350 (1 of 1)?

Scot
