What is the toughest rookie card of the 1960s?

This is definitely not my area of knowledge. But I’ve always been to under the impression that 1966 Topps had a lot of SPs. I know the Seaver is a hard to get because of the price but it’s not hard to find.

Actually, Seaver is hard to get. The 1967 High #s appeared on the sheets 2, 3 or 4 times. Seaver is one of the 11 cards that only appeared 2 times. I suspect that the 1966 High Numbers are similar where you have a lot of easy ones, a lot that appear to be hard, but only 11 that are truly short printed.

Thanks for the info ! I never viewed that card as a SP growing up in New Jersey I seen that card for as long as I can remember. This makes me want the card more.

Dustin:

Having grown up in NJ, I understand. The dealers there would display a Seaver RC in a showcase and not put one in an album. That's why you always saw that card compared to some of the others. Plus the higher price point made for less people buying that card for financial reasons.
