Please show a card more rare than Wagner (T206)

[ValKehl]

Based on the PSA & SGC pop reports, these are the only known examples of these T214 cards known to exist. And, there may be fewer T214s in existence of all players than there are T206 Wagners in existence. Further, I daresay there are thousands of pre-War cards of which there are fewer than 75 examples known to exist - in other words, there is nothing "rare" about the T206 Wagner - INHO, it a stretch even consider it to be "scarce" in relation to most other pre-War cards!

Val,
You nailed it and thus what makes this thread so much fun. We could keep this thread going for 365 more days and still not run out of examples that are more scarce than Wagner. Yes, you are correct... Wagner is in fact not rare at all and I would say is not scarce in population. Just hoarded by folks with lots of money. (Gotta park it somewhere!) It's the most over rated, overhyped, over marketed card ever. Nice card, but nothing special imho. I think the Baltimore Ruth or the Cobb w/ Cobb back should be worth way more than the T-Wags. --- To keep this thread going, here is another one. This time a HOFer... There are easily less than 50 of these...

Between PSA and SGC there are about 11 of the T213-2 Frank Chance Batting (New York). This is likely the ugliest of them.
