Default rarest tobacco card?

Thanx for the clarification on the 1934 Goudey Lajoie card.

Great display gallery of the Wagner cards.

I have to augment your above 1933 Goudey post on this Thread. It was not only
the Lajoie card (#106) that was missing in the early series of Goudeys in 1933.
There were 21 other cards that were not available (from #97 to #142) early in '33.
So, kids were buying lots and lots of Goudeys, looking for 22 cards in the spring
and summer months of '33.

Cards #97, 98, 99, 128, 129, and 142 were printed on the 8th sheet of a 24-card
Goudey sheet (the first group of cards without the Big League adv. strip) and were
issued late in the Summer and early Fall.

And, 15 cards (#107 - 114 and #121 - 127) were finally issued after the 1933 World
Series. They were printed on the last (10th) sheet and the info on their backs reflect
events in the World Series between Washington and New York (NL) that year.
