fkw1/1............ Unique and obviously as rare as they get, are the 1921 Herpolsheimer's cards, 69 different known, all 1/1.
Shortprints....... The cards that interest me the most are the shortprint cards from well known sets. The cards that were purposely printed in small numbers to keep the kids from completing the sets. One reason was so the kids would keep buying more and more cards to try to find that last card (R319 #106), another was if there was an offer for a prize for the complete set when turned into the company.
Examples are....
1933 Goudey #106 Lajoie
1923 V117 Maple Crispette #15 Stengel
1932 R328 US Caramel #16 Lindstrom
1926 Holland Ice Cream #16 Peckinpaugh
1933 R300 Geo. C. Miller #2 Andrews
1911 Zeenut Bohen (???)
I was lucky enough to find the only known Holland Ice Cream #16 Peckinpaugh card, before that the #16 card was always listed as "unknown" in checklists. Still one of my favorite hobby experiences.
