Posted By: T206Collector

One of the cool things about collecting autographed pre-war cards is that they are extremely rare, and may, in fact, be totally unique. These cards and the Cy Young super overprint that just sold on ebay got me thinking -- what other pre-war cards are totally unique, i.e., only 1 known example (or at least under a small handful).

Just one rule -- no cards that are unique solely by virtue of their grade by a third party grading company (e.g., highest graded T206 Unglaub doesn't count). What I am looking for here are cards that completely transcend grade because of scarcity.

Here's what I think is probably my rarest card -- a dual-signed T201:

ca.1920 Cuban Babe Ruth

The story behind this card is it was found tucked into an old Spalding Guide that was formally owned by the premier Cuban baseball historian and author, Severo Nieto. Originally sold at auction on Ryan Christoff's cubanbaseballcards.com site in Nov. 2005. The card measures roughly 2.5" by 3.75" and the stock is thick.

I couldn't afford an entire Cobb, so I just got his hind end.

If you search for:
1903 Baseball
in the SGC pop reports -
you get the e107s

or you get this card:

1903 Astoria Giants

Tough Oversize Postcard issue (only ever seen one other from set, Bayless)


Uncatalogued E270 Red Border Colgan (Unlike the Tin Tops, the Red Border checklist is pretty firmly established. There have bee 4 additions to the entire checklist since the mid-1990's)


Uncat E270 Tin Tops...


I still have not seen another horizontal Witmor Candy type 2 back (w/glove in ad)

I can't say for sure, but I believe that this 1886 issue with Connor and Welch's rookies are all 1/1s:

1886 Joseph Wood Cabinet Roger Connor Front

1886 Joseph Wood Cabinet Mickey Welch Front

What great cards everyone has.

However I do have a question.

It was my understanding the T206 "sheets" and the same subject in a column, like Jeff's T206 Cobb...


And not like J Hull's T206 Phillippe...


Can someone clear this up?

Thanks,
ChiSoxFan

But good luck finding one of these with a baseball player on the front. I'll consider mine to be 1 of 2, with a polite and deferential nod to Richard.

I am sure there are plenty of these, but I have never seen another. A t205 back with two different players.

Here's another screwed-up T205 back. I think it's unique, as I've never seen anything like it....
