I sure wasn't going to hunt this set. Purchased from our humble "peasant/forum owner", 20 some years ago on eBay; when eBay hunting was fun. Galena, IL was our honeymoon place; of course, Mr. Grant is much present there. Still one of the faves of my collection. Last edited by benge610; 06-30-2021 at 10:19 AM.

I have many scarce backs, but not too many scarce types, although I think this fits the bill. Are there any other Harper Whiskey cards/players?

Super nice "Team Issue" Leon. Preaching to the choir, I love rare type cards and their stories.

That's just nuts that TT grades a "1," Phil. As I like to put it, the same grade it would get if run over by a tank in the mud. Somehow, the lower end of the grading scale needs to be fixed.

Probably from 1915, not 1917. Matty and WaJo are the only others confirmed.

1886 Hancock Clothing. These represent the first minor league cards and the first cards with players info on the back. Three known—each unique.

A little outside the normal definition of a card, but one of my favorites. Wish I could find a copy of the Brown and Mathewson.

My old standbys when it comes to offering up scarce type cards:
R308 Tattoo Orbit Large size of Pepper Martin, shown with its smaller, much more common R308 brother, and a R305 (color) of him as well for size comparison. 1924 Crescent Ice Cream of Goodall, a Canadian ice cream card that is just darn scarce (separate scan from Tattoo Orbit. It is actually 3/8" or so narrower than the R305 Tattoo Orbit color card shown, and about its same height). Brian |

I don't see these very often and just love them. They are very small "cards" and seem to have no uniformity in size when there are several of them next to each other. Almost certainly hand cut.

I acquired this up in Cooperstown
The first "little" World Series was played in 1904. The Buffalo Bisons of the Eastern (International) League beat the St Paul Saints of the American Association. I acquired this very rare composite 31 years ago, while set-up at the Cooperstown HOF weekend Baseball Card Show. A gentleman "walked-in" with it, he was interested in it's trade value. I gave him a fair figure and he traded it to me for a bunch of T206 stars and commons. I have searched for another one since 1990, but to no avail. I am thinking of eventually donating it to the Hall of Fame. It's a significant piece of Baseball history, since No Major League World Series was played in 1904. ![]() TED Z T206 Reference . |

Still hoping someone can tell me what this one is. Printed on very heavy stock.
P & A Photo is likely Pacific & Atlantic Photos (1921-1932). Mostil was on the White Sox from 1918-1929.

I know it isn't baseball but here is a hobby unicorn: the R340 Sport Kings premium of Dempsey, Baer and Carnera using an image from the MGM film The Prizefighter and the Lady. There are two known SK premiums, this one and Weissmuller, with one known example of each.

It's "ONLY" a boxing card, but it's one that my Pa found scouring Flea Markets, Garage Sales, etc.
You NEVER knew what he would come home with because HE never knew what he would come home with! Only one of Paddy Ryan ever graded by PSA! Good Find, Pa - RIP! |

Got this from Lew Lipset's collection sell-off a few years back and still hope to locate #5 Lave Cross at some point.

Nice Crowley's Milk card, Dave. It's neat that it was used as a post card in the year of issue. Coincidentally, I sold my type card from this set a couple of hours ago on eBay.
