Show us your Rarest card

[daughert87]

Not sure if my rarest, as have not ever confirmed how rare it is. But it is the only one graded by either SGC or PSA (unless I missed one). Was a cool addition to my quest of trying to get a card from every year.

Gary--Creighton got paid, thus he was the first professional superstar. I guess that what I think is that there are players equally deserving to Barnes who are not yet in: Stovey, Van Haltren, Ryan, Orr, Browning, Caruthers, etc. Would I get heartburn if Barnes got in--no. However, I wouldn't lose any sleep if he didn't.

Jay-The players you listed are deserving of HOF consideration. However, none of these players played in the pre-major league era. I think those that played pre-1871 need an avenue for HOf consideration as "pioneers" whether they played 10 major league seasons or not. I'm talking guys like Barnes, McVey, Creighton. Currently, these players are technically ineligible for the HOF. An executive or manager can be considered from this era, but not a player. I think that is wrong.

Ah, now I see your point, and I agree. Let's make it a package deal, Barnes and McVey for the HOF. I think McVey is really under appreciated.
