Cards That Never Come Up For Sale

[DaClyde]

1974, 1975 & 1976 San Diego Padres Dean's Photo. I've seen the Winfield from the 1974 set once, and seen scans of the 1975 & 1976, but have never seen them for sale anywhere.

1963 Pepsi Colt 45's Bateman, Lillis, and Warwick. I did see them in an old REA auction, but unfortunately I saw it a way after the fact.
Other than that auction, nothing.

My friend you spoke too soon. Leon has one in the Brockelman & Luckey Auction that just opened.

Hi Phil,
A few years ago, I traded My Early Wynn Safe-T-Card. Ditto for the Gil Coan, Sam Dente, and Clark Griffith examples I had (wish I had kept the Griffith!). Currently, I have the 2 cards I care most about in this set, Sam Rice & Mickey Vernon, because I collect all cards of these 2 players.

What surprises me the most about this set is that WaJo does not appear in the checklist - maybe a WaJo card is yet to be discovered - if so, maybe I'll get lucky some day, as I live in the area (Wash., DC) where these cards were distributed, and I go to yard sales, garage sales, estate sales, etc. frequently.
Best,
Val

I almost never see 1948 Gunther Beer Wash. Senators PCs or 1948-50 Safe-T-Cards come up for sale. Anyone have any?

My "White Whales" can certainly be found, but not in the conditions I seek.

For example, I crave #404 Dick Brodowski in a well centered PSA 6-7. But all that ever seem to come up are lower grade 4s and 5s, or badly centered 6s and 7s.

I also have literally never seen a centered Yogi Berra card come up on ebay. None. I think he's a real sleeper in the set, and honestly at this point, I'd pay a big premium to get a centered one.

There were some Safe-T-Cards on e-bay a couple of years ago. Should have bought the McGowan & Wynn when I had the chance........

Have not seen these for sale

Beautiful!!!! If you ever decide to part ways with it, make sure to let me know (and do not tell Phil)! I repeat, DO NOT TELL PHIL!

That "card" is simply stunning!

Derek:

The McGowan does exist, I have seen at least one (should have bought it).

In 25+ years I have never seen a complete 1960 Bazooka box with Clemente - In fact I have only ever seen 3 other complete boxes from the set. I would pay dearly for the Clemente. Anyone............................................ ....

Hi Derek, the Gibson card actually has 3 pinholes if you look closely, still a pretty nice card. I think Phil all ready knows about it
