What's the rarest card you own?

Thanks, Scott, I would have liked to read the article, but the print is minuscule as presented by the link. My question about the rarity of these is rhetorical, I've always been amazed at how many vintage cards and memorabilia seem to have survived as one of a kind or one of very few--one of the things making the hobby so interesting. And you didn't say whether you have any idea what the "privilege of opening and examining" on the flap is supposed to mean?
