The Elusive One

I'm always on the lookout for an M101-5 Joe Wood (any back type) or his M101-4 counterpart (any back type, except for TSN.) Seems like examples that fit my budget rarely pop up.

For some reason, cards of Frank Arrelanes are tough for me. Been looking for awhile for his Ramly and Sporting life cards.

a T206 Drum back took me decades until a friend from this board parted with one of his for a 1982 price.

Tip Top Dreyfuss
W600 Burkett
Cabanas Pete Hill

But it's really no secret why these don't pop up very often.

Pre-war toughie for me is M101-2 Dooin. Always outbid for some reason.

Post-war toughie is a 1958 Kahn's Wally Post (only Phillie in all the Kahn's series).

Neither card is extremely rare but I always seem to be outbid on these...drives me crazy.

I have seen scans of four [non-Old Judge], and know that there are a few N173s...but have never seen one for sale or auction.
