Truly scarce postwar cards

[skelly423]

How about a couple of HOF salesman samples. There can't be more than 1 or 2 of these in the wild.

Time for another postcard. 1953-55 Howard Photo Service Mays with the 7-Up back. PSA Pop 11.

[raulus]

Here’s one for Adam: 1955 Exhibits Mays, with and without the Mutoscope back. With is pop 1 and without is pop 2.

Those are a pair of beauties, Nicolo. Here's a proof of the card:



Different card stock, different size and cut than regular issue.

Just when I thought I finally had something on Adam, he pulls out the proof!

Time for another: 1955 Robert Gould All-Stars Mays. PSA Pop 15.

I guess everyone else is giving up on this thread!

Keeping it rolling with some more of my man Mays. PSA shows just 1 of these 1957 Knickerbocker Beer Mays/Hodges. I’m pretty sure I have 2, and maybe a 3rd that is raw. If memory serves, Larry might have sold these to me on eBay.

Yes I did

Adam:

To be exactly correct your proof is not a proof of Raulus's PC backs. The PC backs are Made in U.S.A. and your proof is Printed in U.S.A.

So glad to have found this one...only 2 have ever been graded across PSA, SGC or Beckett.

Here are two more toughies from my Tom Seaver collection. These are apparently from signings Seaver did at a car dealership just before and after his trade to the Reds. (The two cards are the same size even though the scans are different sizes).

1969 Ryan team issue:

But you are still checking Larry

What am I checking for?
