Sean, unless you are the richest 12 year old on the planet, I'd stick with something a bit less challenging than the rarest set out there. |

A set of T200 premiums would be tough to complete, Sean. And I'm selling my one card with Bill Goodwin soon. But these guys are right. You're shooting for a distant galaxy, why not set a goal somewhat more reasonable. Then a more difficult goal, and then even tougher... |

Noone can say for certain what is the rarest vintage set. Collections or hoards of cards can always pop up so your question has no true answer. Collect something you'll enjoy dont be so concerned with some of the things like value and rarity that you seem to be obsessed with. |

Everyone is forgetting the obvious one, t231. Only one card verified in the set and only one example of that card known to exist. I'm not holding my breath on a small hoard of these turning up any time soon. |

Well I didn't forget about T231s... but there has to be a set out there before you can collect it. I think someone could, with piles of money, connections, and some good fortune, assemble 16 T200 premiums. If Bill Gates decided to buy 90 T231 fans (just guessing 90 would be the set), how's he going to do that if they aren't out there to be bought? |

The question was rarest set. True, the t231 is unique and personally I have trouble calling one card a set, especially when there is only one known example of that card. |

Let's throw the w600 set in the mix. Lots of potential cards for this set with no known list of all cards known to exist, just cards that could potentially exist. |

The Just So set is super rare - I knew the 1981 finder who sold his to Lipset, not sure who found the other group in 1989, just damn hard to come by. |

On T231 there is a picture of the Bigby card that is well known. It definitely exists or existed. John Rumirez told me, over breakfast last year, that he has one too....I believe him. That makes 3 the most likely number to me..and even if John is mistaking it's still 2. It's the rarest catalogued set by definition. regards |

If a set doesn't exist, you can't call it the rarest set as there is no set. Set-wise, less than one is not a set. |

As far as Pre 1980 cards cataloged in the Standard Catalog or Beckett Almanac, the Fans Cigarettes must be about the rarest, if not the rarest. |

The German philosopher Immanuel Kant one said that many philosophical arguments are not caused by disagreement in ideas, but that the arguers define the terms differently. Kant said once the parties mutually set the definition of terms (which they didn't do in the beginning), they are often surprised to discover they agree with each other. |

I can verify the existence of another E125 Clarke besides the example that sold in the last REA auction. I was the under bidder on the card approx. four months ago when it appeared in an eBay auction. |

Here's the humdinger of the whole situation, Richard, the card sold for $410.99. Besides the tab between Clarke's legs being partially gone, the card suffered no other real flaws that I can remember. |

I've dealt with him for over 20 years. Quite a character. Very secretive but is known to have a large amount of high quality and rare vintage material, especially 19th Century. Lists high value cards on ebay from time to time during the 10 cent lising promotions. |

From the point of view of a collector extremely interested in the hobby, you would hope that it was true. I mean, who wouldn't want to see all of those cards? |

Some of the world's great collections are held by people who feel the necessity to be secretive for their own safety. The fact that Norris kept his collection in the bank only shows his prudence so as not to put his holdings at risk. I have purchased many great cards from Norris over the years and hope that this sale does not eliminate the possibility of meeting this hobby pioneer some day. |
