Show us your Rarest card

[Baseball Rarities]

I always knew that E104-1s with Nadja backs were rare, but I only recently realized how rare they really were. I purchased this Plank from the Luckey collection and when I started doing some additional research on the issue, I could not find another example of Plank. There were plenty of blank backed cards out there, but none with the Nadja advertising on the back. I am sure that others exist, but I have not been able to put my finger on another.

No idea who owns these now, but they were 2 of my favorites from my previous collection.

Wow, you pre-war guys are nailing the coffin shut here. Heck i dont even know a lot of those guys, other than looking in the recent addition threads.
I guess my rare one, is just a hard one that seldom comes up for sale much with a low pop:

Chris, I've always loved that card. Congratulations.

I believe it's still the case that all of the 1921 Herpolsheimers are one of a kind? Has anyone found additional copies of any of them?

Here's my favorite and one of my rarest

[MikeGarcia]

...1937 Goudey Premium Type 5 , included in the R314 set in the checklists , first name misspelled on the card by the manufacturer and mis-identified as well as misspelled up in the flip by the kids at Joe's place . Picture is from his few months with Toronto in 1936....he also appears in the 1932 Picture Pack Team Issued Chicago Cubs . I'm assuming this is rare because I've not seen any others in twelve years of searching....


I'm loving this thread , thank you all.; you fellow collectors are amazing .

Hey Kevin
Great pickup. I picked that up in a Lipset auction sometime around 15 yrs ago. I think it went for around 450, Lew commented it was a low price and I wholeheartedly agreed. Even at the price you got it I think it was a good buy. In all my (20ish) years I have seen 1 other plank with nadja back and it was totally beat. Quan has seen it too, I believe. One other was mentioned in the write up also and it's the same one just mentioned. I don't remember anything else....but always knew there was at least one more. I would guess there might be another, somewhere, but it's super rare and really neat, in my book. Congrats..

Any of these cards are rare.....

It's a thread like this I don't know how anybody could keep focused trying to put together sets. Some great stuff here.
