What's the rarest card you own?

[clydepepper]

Okay. Since I've seen both postcards and post-war cards posted, I'll add a few.

I have no illusions of waking up with anything comparable to most of what I've seen...especially Mr. Kenny Cole - I'm just sharing what I still have:

1961 Topps #344- SANDY KOUFAX SGC-96 Mint - Lionel Carter Collection.jpg1968 Topps 45- Tom seaver SGC-4 Gary-Carter-Collection 91.26.jpg


FYI- I had earlier posted my hand-cut '41 Play Ball- Hubbell and asked if anyone knew how rare it is. I'd still be interested in any details.

Scott,

That's a really nice Aguilitas Oms. Nicer than mine and with terrific photo clarity. Grats on a great card!!!

Amazing cards, cabs , postcards on this thread! Don't want to slight anyone by naming favorites so great collections gents.

This thread is right up my alley as tough to find cards have always been a focus of my collection. Just my personal choice but I would rather own a card that not too many others have rather than a card that can be easily found. Probably have enough to bore you guys with for a couple of hours

All M101-6 Mendelsohns are relatively scarce but these 3 are never seen.
Two of them are obvious team changes.

Sam Crawford is a 1/1 for now . Probably there is another one out there

Grover Alexander is usually seen with the Cubs.
This is both a team and photo change as his first year with Chicago was 1918

[benchod]

This guy is also a team change
He really needs no introduction

[benchod]

never have seen another

I acquired this unique gem in Cooperstown, NY in 1991. It is a significant piece of Baseball History, for there was no Major League WORLD SERIES played in 1904.
Mgr. John McGraw of the NY Giants (NL Champs) refused to play Boston (AL Champs). Therefore, the Eastern League (AAA) Buffalo Bisons became the de facto....
"1904 World Champions"






Speaking about McGraw......the only known McGraw (glove) card with a UZIT back.







Fall of 1952, BOWMAN issued this very artistic 144-card FB set. In order to compete with the very popular larger size 1952 Topps BB cards, Bowman re-sized
their regular set of FB cards. Then re-issued these larger size cards circa Winter of '52. I acquired this sheet in 1982, at a Hobby shop in Media, Pennsylvania




This unique sheet includes FB stars.....Sammy Baugh, Otto Graham, Y. A. Tittle, Charlie Justice, Charley Trippi, Hugh McElhenny, and Frank Gifford (rookie card).

This is incredible!! Ruth Mendelsohn Yankees is probably my favorite Ruth I own. The Red Sox one is a priceless piece of history!

I absolutely love the Phila Alexander and that Crawford, just beautiful!! M101-6 has become one of my favorite sets!
