Hi Bruce, I would love to see scans of some(all) of your rare cards. For everybody's benefit do you think that you can post them in this thread, as I'm sure I'm not the only one. If you require help to post them, please contact me and i would be glad to help you do so, or could post them on your behalf if you were to forward them to me via email. (nyknightsfan@aol.com) |

Bruce has sent me scans of several very nice cards to try to help get them posted. I am not that great with resizing. I have sent them to my right hand guy (Brian) but hopefully he's doing something more constructive than the board If anyone could help let me know and I will shoot you the scans. They look real nice...but again, are not able to be posted the way they are. Any techies out there? thanks |

Bruce--All of those are relatively common compared to the 1886 Hancock Clothing cards---three exist, each is unique. These photographic cards represent players from the Syracuse Stars and the three known players are Buckley, Crothers and Tomney. Buckley and Tomney later appeared in the Old Judge set; Crothers, a great minor league pitcher, never played in the "majors". I think the 1916 Everybody's M101 derivative set would also rank in the top ten. Leon is the expert in this area and can probably add a few. However, just as a general point, a G&B or a Western Playground for example are nowhere near the rarest type card. |

Thanks for your time and effort, Bruce. Such genorosity on your part is very welcomed here. I, as many others, would love to see some scans that you could provide. Especially to those of us who are new to this arena of collection [new meaning within the last 5-10 years]. |

The "rarest" card is sort of a relative term. Any card with 1 known would have to be at the top, if there were no restrictions. Then 2 after that and so on..Also, we have to talk about what is classified as a card, and if this rarity "test" includes proofs , sets not in ACC , etc...? There are too many variables to say what the rarest card is other than if there is one then that has to be the rarest (and there are surly single specimans of many cards). Hal's Recius Wagner is rarer than his T206 but that doesn't make it worth more, just ask him ? (I know you are reading Hal, and am just joking). So value has no play in this question either. By definiton the rarest ACC baseball set would have to be the T231. Being that there are only 2 known and only one physical one. After that there are numerous that come to mind, again only talking listed in the ACC. Four Base Hits is actually listed as N690 so it's in there. Just So's, Hancock Clothing, Boston Garters, etc... aren't listed as well as a lot of other cards that would fall into this category. The Niagra Baking is listed and I have only personally seen 1. (in an auction). We must qualify too if a "stamp" on the back qualifies a card as being a seperate series. If we are stict ACC people then it does. The Niagra one is a stamp on the back of a more common e card. ( I forget which one but it's an anonymous one...e101, e102 etc)...great topic... |

I suppose by definition, the rarest is one in which only one example exists. Therefore, it's probably a massive tie. The 1966 Topps Punchout - not to be confused with the more common 1967 Topps Punchboard - should be right up there. It's highly probable that only one example of each player (for which there is no complete known checklist) exists. |

Just a thought, Leon, but if you want you can email me the pics that won't upload, and I can put them onto my web site (and link to them). That way they won't take up anyone's N54 space, but everyone can see them. Just a thought... |

Here is my meager contribution to this topic; a Gypsy Queen Large (well, medium since it has been trimmed) and an uncatalogued 1928 Star Player Candy card of Buddy Myer. I also have a BF 104 of Mickey Cochrane and a Cameo Pepsin pin of John Pappaulan. The last two are probably not as hard to find as the first two, but then again, maybe they are. |

It would be interesting to try to determine how many of the rare cards from certain sets (such as the 1933 U.S. Caramel Fred Lindstrom) exist. |
