1/1 -- 1/25 Pre-War Items

[ValKehl]

This 1916 D352 Morehouse Baking of WaJo is a 1 of 1 per the pop reports (no graded examples).

Ethan, please don't take this as a criticism of your post, but all or almost all of the individual cards in very many (if not most) of the pre-War sets have less than 25 examples known to exist. My pre-War favorites are the real-photo, black & white card sets from 1916, 1917 and 1920-22 with a plethora of advertising backs; there are less than 25 examples known of every card in most of these sets. IMHO, for a pre-War card to be considered truly rare there should be less than 5 examples known to exist.

Well said, Val. And great WaJo! Can we see the Weil Baking too?

Thanks, Chad for your kind words. Per your request, here's my 1916 Weil Baking. I'm still looking for a 1917 Weil Baking - can anyone help?

Yeah, I totally agree. This was the case years back when I put together the E103 Williams Caramel set. I love seeing the 1/1 stuff the most, but in an effort to see more cards I decide to broaden the thread to include 1/1 -- 1/25...great looking stuff so far.
