1953-54 Briggs Meats - Top set 82.5% complete. 33/40. 220 total graded (192 "A") - not as rare as I thought. most players with single didgit pops

1954 Blossom Dairy Charleston Senators - 1 set 100% complete. 22 cards. 1 of each graded. Has to be a winner or tied. https://www.psacard.com/pop/minor-le...enators/126126

1954 Stahl Meyer Franks. Top set 100% complete. 12 cards. 164 examples graded (100 "A" or "1")

1958 Kahn's Weiners - top set 100% complete. 29 cards. 140 total graded.

1962 Bazooka complete boxes - top set 60% complete. 15 cards/boxes. 32 examples graded. 6 pop 1's, 6 pop 2's - another super toughie, but not completed by anyone.

Howard:

I submitted the same question on the Pre War board and some folks are having a hard time understanding my question.

You may have come up with the best answer thus far. The 1954 Blossom Dairy Charleston Senators of John's that you cited certainly fits what I was looking for.

There are 22 cards in the set. John has a COMPLETE set of all 22 and there has only been 23 total graded. Thus if you subtract out John's 22 in the set there is only one other card from the set graded!! A Sam Hairston.

My definition of a truly rare set!! This could not be topped unless there is a complete set with no other cards from that set being graded!

What prompted me to think about this is whether or not I should get my complete set of 64 1959 Dad's Cookies cards graded. Currently there has only been 28 cards from this set graded.

CLOSE but no cigar!!

The complete set of Kiwanis Orioles that is registered has 10 cards in the set. The POP report shows that 12 cards have been graded. Thus two other cards beside the set have been graded.

Extraordinarily rare, but John's set of Blossom Dairy that Howard found has only 1 other card graded, so he beats you by a hair!!

If it's for "bragging rights" go for it! You'll have the only complete set on the registry - definitely, something to brag about (though you could probably brag about having the only complete set off the registry right now!)

If it's to attempt to enhance value to ultimately sell them, I wouldn't grade the whole set - only the better players who have player set following.
