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

I would/do classify them as 2 different sets.

That is ABSOLUTELY the ONLY ONE of those I have ever seen!!

The real photo postcards posted in this thread have been amazing, but I kind of think they don't really fit within the spirit of a "1 of 1 card" as I'm viewing it. I do consider them cards, or close enough to cards. And I'm glad they've been posted. But so many real photo postcards are unique examples. A real photo postcard that's a 1 of 1 isn't particularly rare, even though that particular example might be, if that makes sense. But a 1 of 1 for a card that is part of an issue where numerous examples were likely produced and distributed is quite rare, in my opinion. I'm definitely not trying to take anything away from the RPPCs that have been posted here because there are several of them I would love to own. I hope some of that makes sense because it doesn't feel like I'm doing a good job of explaining myself. Also, like Leon, I prefer to say "only known example" instead of 1 of 1.

Anyway, here are a few of mine:

1902 Seymour Church Rube Waddell premium

1927-28 Mallorquina Martin Dihigo (1st card)

1945 Mexican Ray Dandridge (1st card)

1950s Dominican Juan Marichal (1st card)

Here are a few of Zach Wheat. On the Prairie Roses he is on the top row first player on the left. I would call this his earliest in uniform issue.

Baker wasn't in the checklist until I told Bob Lemke about mine

My old buddy! paid $10 for that card once upon a time.

AND used to own Phil's Mordecai Brown ML team card, I have seen one other of those.

C. 1910 Hughie Jennings RPPC and a 1924-28 RPPC of George Sisler raising the flag. I've never seen any other copies.

Spectacular card! Let me know if you ever feel the need to part with it.

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.

[Bicem]

wow Jim.

[cyseymour]

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.

Plank, currently in REA but mine for a few more days

If anyone has any of these I would like to see them.
