I think you missed my point or I did not explain properly.

I would think the T206 set would be the exact oppostie of what I am asking. There are TONS of individual cards from the T206 set that have been graded.

I asked about a complete set someone has that then has the fewest individual cards graded for that set

Ah, I did miss your point.

The 1930 Frank H. Fleer Whiz Bang set might qualify. It is thought the set is comprised of 16 cards, 3 of which are baseball players (Goslin, Grove & Hartnett). The cards originally surfaced in the 2009 REA auction.

I requested PSA add the set to the registry and supplied them with info on the set including the original REA auction listing. They approved the set but it is not listed yet. I have not sent in my cards to be graded; to my knowledge, none are graded at PSA or SGC.

They are 15 baseball cards known of the 3 players with a distribution of 5 for Gosling, 6 for Grove and 4 for Hartnett.

For pre war postcards I would say

1908-09 Rose
1935 Pebble Beach
1923 Exhibits

I think it's a bit of a stretch to consider H804s as baseball cards.
The number is a catchall for baseball themed trade cards. With a few exceptions they were sold as generic blank cards, and the merchant buying them would have their company info printed or rubber stamped on the ones they bought.

Typically they were sold by the hundred, which for a set of 4-5 would be a total of 20-25 each for a particular business. so it's not surprising if some are very uncommon. Some like Merchants Gargling Oil are very common. It's also likely there are several that don't even exist anymore.

They don't generally depict actual players, but general comical (depending on your sense of humor) baseball scenes.

Looking at the PSA Pop reports, these are some of the toughest to collect in PSA slabs. These are all from the era of 1906-1916.

1906 Ullman Postcard, only 4 graded total for the whole set
1910 Washington Times, only 6 graded total for the whole set
1914 E&S Postcard, only 11 graded
1910 T215 Pirate, only 11 graded
1909-16 Max Stein Postcard, only 15 graded
1911 Baltimore News, only 23 graded
1910 E104-3, only 22 graded
1910 E104-2, only 27 graded
1910 T208 Cullivan's Fireside, only 30 graded
1914 E224 Texas Tommy, only 32 graded
1910 T215 Red Cross Type 1, only 42 graded

Some of these sets have quite a few SGC graded, however.
