Scarce "Type" Cards

[Casey2296]

Super nice "Team Issue" Leon. Preaching to the choir, I love rare type cards and their stories.

That's just nuts that TT grades a "1," Phil. As I like to put it, the same grade it would get if run over by a tank in the mud. Somehow, the lower end of the grading scale needs to be fixed.

Hopefully this topic will get some attention. Nice cards

[Pre War Starter]

Site won’t allow me to post pics, but I have a YouTube channel that I post all my PreWar Type Back cards.
Baltimore Shirts -Kansas City Blues
Lots of Mendelssohn type cards.
Lots of 1/1 from pop reports..

I'll take "1"s like that any day. A couple more hen's teeth.

Probably from 1915, not 1917. Matty and WaJo are the only others confirmed.

1886 Hancock Clothing. These represent the first minor league cards and the first cards with players info on the back. Three known—each unique.

I remember getting about 5 of these with the Trophy Sticker on them...and was glad to reacquire one.

A little outside the normal definition of a card, but one of my favorites. Wish I could find a copy of the Brown and Mathewson.

If you're gonna go with obscure types you may as well go with the big fella:

My old standbys when it comes to offering up scarce type cards:

R308 Tattoo Orbit Large size of Pepper Martin, shown with its smaller, much more common R308 brother, and a R305 (color) of him as well for size comparison.

1924 Crescent Ice Cream of Goodall, a Canadian ice cream card that is just darn scarce (separate scan from Tattoo Orbit. It is actually 3/8" or so narrower than the R305 Tattoo Orbit color card shown, and about its same height).

Hi Leon . I’m guessing there’s not too many Tarzan Bread cards graded or at all .

Here are a couple of scarce cards from my Bench collection.

Love the Hancock Clothings. I've never heard of these before.

These strips are nearly impossible:



So are these, apparently:



I've been chasing the SPs from the 1968 Atlantic Oil set for decades; I've seen under 5.




These Sommer & Kaufmann cards are rare as hell to begin with and then you add the signature:

I don't own any scarce type prewar, but I believe this Mays works ....
