Default One of a kind and to Rare for there own good.T5 and Sunbeam team Card.

In 1989 or 1990 I was at a flea market near lambertville NJ. I found a group of T5 pinkerton cabinets. A few common Philadelphia players A complete Toledo Minor leauge team including Joe McCarthy I think the only card issued of him so Rare. And one C. Winger numbered 1613. A complete outlier. next highest number in set is in the 1100's So numbered 500 after next known T5. Only one ever seen I sent in picture to Beckett and had it cataloged. Value... very little compared to Rarity.

Last year I see a 1949 Sacramento team picture I look close and see it was issued by Sunbeam bread. It was the team giveaway that went along with the 1949 sunbeam postcards also of the Sacramento team. Sunbeam team cards have been in catalogs since the 70's but I had never seen a single one. I asked a number of west coast collectors they said as rare or rarer than bishop team cards. It is in REA now but I don't expect much. But it is as Rare as a card gets.
