Don’t be so hard on yourself Bob. You will do better in the future

I'm not sure these count,
76 Hostess yellow and green

I got them from a friend of a friend, maybe 20-30 cards total. No extras.



The 79 Topps mail in cards, not intended to have pro players, just peoples kids. But some did get made. Unknown checklist, and I forget how many you got in the batch, so probably over 50 total.

And I missed the 73 cutoff....Hey, I'm a catcher, I always miss the cutoff.

I have a Hobson. Been trying to find a Remy


Correction...I did apparently pick up a Remy at some point

I have a Don Sutton and possible one other that I could be forgetting.

I'm wondering if this 1963 Nassau County Boy Scouts of America Duke Snider (on my Mets) falls into this rarities category?

Yes and probably the 1969 NY BSA set too.

I checked the PSA pop report of the 1963 Nassau County BSA Snider, and there are only 12 total there, with, interestingly enough, the highest grade only being a 5. Wonder how many SGC has graded.

Speaking of boy scout releases. I forget who but I remember seeing a member with some signed Cardinals photos he got from being a boy scout in st louis and inviting others to join as prize incentives. They are Early '60s (Reds is his '61 team issue photo)
They are super cool.

I have looked extensively and can't even find references of them online. Definitely fit this threads prerequisites.

Would love to own one someday.

Only 5 Nassau Boy Scout cards graded by SGC and the highest grade was a 5.

I live in Nassau County and have never seen these.

Does anyone know anything about these cards? With 5s being the top grade, you have to wonder how they were distributed, as clearly no one seems to have a high grade version.

Here is the Sutton.

I think these Jerry Jonas cards are pretty scarce, it seems.

I speculate, based on some research and a phone conversation with Jonas himself, that less than 50 sets may have been printed. You never know though...maybe extras were made at the time and given away to friends or employees. I wish Jerry had recalled more specifics.

I posted this card in the alternative first cards thread too. I have no idea who issued it but it comes from the 1959 Dominican Winter League season. Matty Alou played on the same team as a very young Willie McCovey, who may theoretically have a card out there somewhere too. Marichal also pitched in the Winter League that year and may also have a card:

Just thinking back to earlier today and Al’s post, I’ll add 1951 Topps Major League All-Stars.

Adding psa and sgc together the most graded is Doby at 50 combined. The rest are far fewer and 3 are likely sub 5 in the world with only a few known.

I also would not put the 1968 Topps 3D Brooks Robinson in with the main set, but not sure if it counts as a proto.

Not sure I saw the 1969 Topps 4 in 1's listed yet either.

Edit to add 1967 Topps Discs and Stand-ups.
