Default Nice thread

I find this very interesting and enjoyable, but I can't help wondering how long it will take for two guys to post here each one proudly showing us his beloved copy of the same card.

I think this is the only one. Has anyone seen another Merkle with this back?

No, sorry, I missed the part about HOFs.
But if there was a hall of infamy he would get in on the first ballot.

Default RPPC 1908 Oshkosh Indians with Kid Nichols, manager

Another possible '1 of 1', with tie-in to Stengel card - Nichols was Stengel's neighbor in Kansas City.

In the spring of 1910 (according to Stengel's biographer, Robert Creamer), before Stengel reported to the Kansas City Blues, Nichols gave him some advice, cautioning him about arguing and advising him to listen to his manager and the older players. Fifty years later, Stengel still remembered that conversation.

By posting first, we may be killing off the competition . Besides, I'd post this one, but I am sure someone has another:

Is angola/morena different backs or just due to the wrong back/wrong number in the set?

The cataloging on these two just got confirmed last year. They aren't HOFs, but they are one-of-a-kind to the best of my knowledge.

Sorry, Jim, does not qualify. Must be a Hall of Famer.

That Dude Esterbrook is beyond belief, though.

Your set must be the most impressive accomplishment in the hobby.

I have never seen another strip card version of this Simmons:



Only specimen of this Adam Hats Gomez I've ever seen:



There were probably a few of these printed, but this is the only one I've ever seen in decades of chasing this set, a prizewinning card from the 1968 Atlantic Oil contest set:



I've seen others from the issue but not this one:



Not exactly a card but a neat item of my favorite player as a kid:



Coney Island Arcade Lou Gehrig:



And just because my collection is...eclectic, I have to throw this in:

1930 Chocolatin Mercedes Papke and Lewis. A very rare issue from Uruguay:

This thread should be called "debunking supposed one of a kind HOF'ers!"

I can't believe any T206(besides maybe a signed one or a print freak) is a 1/1?!

You can make any card a 1 of 1 by writing on it -- or, better yet, having your wife write on it.

Sign your name on the front (or back) of a 1986 Topps Don Mattingly and -- voila! -- assuming you don't do it again, it's unique. Like Ryan said, not sure that was the original intent of the thread.

Rhett, nice cards. No worries, now I can sell it. I was only keeping it because there was no record of any others on PSA or SGC.

Ken, WOW... nice stuff!

Great cards everyone! I love seeing unique cards and memorabilia.

Amazing postcards!

Question about 1911 Chicago American Giants PC: Is Rube Foster standing with arms crossed third from left and is Pete Hill crouching at the left end of the middle row?

I think (and hope!) these WaJo and Sam Rice strip cards with these advertising backs are the only ones known to exist - please ignore the Reuther/Fleer card:
