Default What are the Top 10 Most Diffcult FB Sets to Complete

Posted By: Carl Lamendola

In no specific order - Here's my list

1. 1894 Mayo - because of the Anonymous
2. 1949 Silber's Bakery Colts - Probably only two "E" cards exists
3. 1926 Shotwell with the Bio Backs (12) - They crumble in your hands
4. 1928 Star Player Candy aka Anonymous Candy - I know of no sets
5 1937 Mayfair Candies - don't be fooled by the few sets that have surfaced
6. 1959 Bazooka - Tracy and Groza
7. 1960 Kahns - Larry Fritsch told me 4 cards are impossible
8 1960 Bell Brand - I have only seen 1 Selawski
9 1963 Jones-Rich Dairy Bills - Know one knows how many were made
10 1967 Royal Castle Dolphins - Where are the short prints?

Honorable Mention - 1977 Topps Mexican - but no one cares

It went for big bucks in the Lew Lipset auction. There was a new card that surfaced in the group.

Carl:

Interesting. Do you have a complete checklist ? I know I am missing Lebaron, Hardy and Polenke. Thanks. Mark

Hard to classify the 1960's era Fairmont Dairy Kansas City Chiefs cards as an individual set as they came out over several years, but as Carl knows they are nearly impossible to find. There are still cards being added to the checklists and even years of issue being added.

I'm having a terrible time finding examples from the several early-mid 1950s Oregon Ducks football sets. I have trips of some of them, and can't find a single example of others.

I'd like to buy any example of the 1937 Mayfair Candies set. Please send scan and asking price if interested. I didn't see a Buy-Sell-Trade forum, am I supposed to use the same one that the Net54 baseball guys use? - Andrew

What about the Packers Lake to Lakes? I was fortunate to buy a complete set, but you almost never see the short prints for sale.
