Post war type rarities 1947-73 less than 50 known of all player

[frankhardy]

I'm not sure about the entire set, but I do know these are crazy rare. I believe there are only 2 of Haddix and 3 Moon that are known -

1955 Topps Hocus Focus Wally Moon (just discovered a few years ago)
1955 Topps Hocus Focus Harvey Haddix

Other than mine, Al owns one of each, and Brian Wentz owns a PSA 6 Moon (on Ebay)

Can you guys confirm if I am on track with my claim? I believe I am right on this.

There's a 1955 Topps stamp set that is incredibly rare. I haven't seen one for sale in probably 30 years. I believe they are listed in the Standard Catalog.

All of those are awfully hard to find, Shane. I have what I believe is the only complete boxing subset:




Kinda wish PSA'd paid more attention to orientation...

1952 National Tea Labels. Allegedly 42 ballplayers but I haven't seen more than a few. Here's one on eBay:

Ok guys...I was looking for sets, where there are less than 50 total cards known of all players combined in that set

69 Malanga shouldn’t be on your list. I have 24 of them…a set of panels and a set of cut cards and know others that have the set.

69 Malanga pic for reference. Horrible looking cards haha! Probably the ugliest Mick “card” produced.

Frank - we may have touched base before, but if you're interested in selling that Moon Hocus Focus (to a loving Wally Moon collector!) please let me know. I'll pay well and it will go into a near complete collection.*
