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.

Here is a card that is unique in a certain sense - its provenance. It is from the estate of King Kelly's teammate, Billy Sunday. So if the image itself is not unique, at least the provenance is.

Great image of King, Jamie.

Great card, Jamie...I love that one...but with that rationale...every card that's no longer in it's original packaging is unique?!?!

cyseymour · #7 09-17-2013, 06:52 PM

Okay, it is an admittedly weak rationale, but I wanted to post the card.

Scientifically speaking, I suppose every card is unique since all cards hold a slightly different molecular composition.

So maybe provenance is a weak rationale, but not so bad as the scientific rationale of molecular differentiality?

Does finding an even potentially worse rationale help support my other, admittedly weak excuse for posting in the first place?

Not a pre-war, but... You mean like this beauty? A true 1 of 1.

I think my Ryan might've come from the same collection..

novakjr · #15 09-20-2013, 04:32 PM

Anyways, here's my lone legit response...

I'd assume there are a bunch of these, but I've done a ton of looking, and I've never seen another on the net.. Hoping one of you guys out there can burst my bubble..

David - ever since I saw your ML Die-Cut Dickey, I've searched for one, but to no avail. I've seen complete Was. team sets and Dickey never shows up. It must have been produced in the late 20s or early 30s w/ limited quantities, obviously.

If you ever find another, I'd happily buy your lower conditioned one!!!
