Back To Basics. What is One Card You would like to have that you do not have

[Baseball Rarities]

Mine would be a PC760 Rose Co. postcard of Tris Speaker. Beckett added it to their checklist in 1982, but I do not know anyone who has ever seen an image of it.

Jim Beckett was pretty meticulous about doing research at that time, so I am still holding out hope and think that there is a chance that the card exists.

If it does exist, it would be part of the "no team" additions that were done after their original 1908 set which consisted of 12 players for each of the 16 teams. All 12 Red Sox players are already known to exist, but the Rose Co. did update their set in late 1908 or 1909 with a few new subjects, so Speaker theoretically could exist.

I talk with Jim periodically, I'll ask him next time I do!

I'm close to finishing a 1948 Leaf set. I still need the Doby and Newhouser which are still somewhat affordable, so it's probably the Paige that I would want since I don't know if I'll ever be able to afford it.
