Another three to add with the latter two picked up since January 1 and one last year.

I have a Cobb also.

When it comes to specifically Baseball cards, it would be one of the three unbroken 1962 Canadian Post Sugar Crisp panels I have in my collection. Here's the one with legendary greats Frank Robinson, Rocky Colavito and Juan Marichal:

I don't know how many of these are out there, but there can't be very many. 1953 was Newsom's last season, and he died in 1962. I picked this up from Jim Stinson a few years ago.

It would be this one now; Fox is depicted as a Phillie, but spent all of 1953 in the minors, resurfaced with Baltimore the following year, spent 1955 in the minors, then was murdered a couple days after the season ended.

Except for the one that I have.:D

It's probably not all THAT valuable, given how few people collect this set seriously. But I do take a certain pride in having an item that nobody else has (apparently).

Alan Kleinberger

With apologies for the nearly 4 years it took me to see your post Alan, I must say you DESERVE to take that certain pride in owning what is currently a unique Saier.

I'm still beating the bushes...

throwing this one out here…any others around? I see that Jay had one for sale on here back in 2008, but i have seen none at auction except for a cut version of it in heritage 7 years ago. There are a few for sure, anyone else have one to show from their collection? No sales on VCP at all.

sportscardpete 07-03-2025 06:41 AM

Paul - I have never seen one, that is an amazing card!

Hadn't seen this thread before so I spent the last twenty minutes twirling through all 500+ posts. What a cavalcade of terrific eye candy! Here's a few of my cards that I would deem rare not due to a pop report number but simply because they rarely if ever show up for sale.

1890s John McGraw cabinet. Can't be too many of these.

https://photos.imageevent.com/kawika...%20cabinet.jpg

1908 Rose pc Moonlight Graham. I've read there's only four known.

https://photos.imageevent.com/kawika...t%20Graham.jpg

1911 JKA Matty. Never see these at auction.

https://photos.imageevent.com/kawika...KA%20Matty.jpg

1911 T4 Buck Weaver. Only know of one other.

David--As contemporary players would remark, your cards are sick! I've never seen a Moonlight Graham Rose PC. Thank you for sharing some spectacular eye candy with us.

Cheers,
Mike

1920 Ruth portrait, considered by some as his 1st card in a Yankees uniform. Only 55 PSA graded unnumbered.

Rarest cards
 
Couldn't just pick one but these are four of my favorite rare ones:

That Magee is a 2?? Jeez. I had no idea that SGC was so tough on misusing “Your” for “You’re.”

What an amazing thread. WOW

I like the Rodney Peete's too! I must have the lowest Hornsby, LOL. My eyes hurt, can't see why the low grade:D Did not realize there were only 2. I also have the Cobb. Looks the same but is an 8. We must be the only 2 guys who like these:)

Fit's in perfect with my low eye appeal collection.

being that this thread was resurrected...

Here's one of mine. I'm sure someone on the board has owned it before? I think there is 1 blue and 1 red? I'm sure someone knows more about it than I do? I have seen these with the entire diamond intact, but not the Wagner

Yoda 07-04-2025 12:45 PM

Chuck, I, too, have the Cobb in an 8. I love the fact that he is in an A's uniform and in a fielding position. A fairly rare and unappreciated set.

While I’ve seen plenty of the T216 Lajoie Philly cards, this is the only one that I’ve found with the Never Go Out back. If anyone has or has seen another, let me know. The Blank back Collins still seems to be the only one floating around and Jeff G tells me the Morehouse Merkle is a lone example as well.

Happy long weekend,
Bob

Yea - SGC has definitely took the plunge off into the deep end (self inflicted wounds as they all want to quit????)

That card coming back as a 2 is a complete joke.

Been venting about SGC (I'm done with them) for several months now as my last 20 card submittal came back as solid 2s-4s on cards that were easily in the 6 range.

The cards in this thread are just unbelievable. Here's my rarest, only known example:

terjung 07-06-2025 08:12 PM

Great Groh card! Looks like the same set that has been labeled 1921 W-UNC "Self Developing" set. Lots of uncertainty with that really scarce set.

Here's one of mine.

Don't know if you were the buyer, but that was a new discovery when we auctioned it and obviously a one of one at the time back in 2021.

Here is the blue companion piece to your red Wagner. Please let me know if you ever decide to part with yours, think they would make a good pair.

aljurgela 07-07-2025 12:10 PM

Think that this is still a 1/1

For an important HOFer... it is now in a PSA holder though, so the combined pop would show 2, but it is actually 1

Al, what a beautiful Dihigo rookie. Here is one of my pop 1 cards. It is a 1928 Agulitas Roberto Estalella from the Cuba Deportiva set. Bobby Estalella, as he was known in the States, was only 17 when this card was made. Estalella, or Tarzan as he was known in Cuba, was a very popular player in the 30s and 40s.

Al you still have another one, right but part of that amazing uncut sheet.

Yes...

But it does not have a stamped back so that is more of a proof than a finished card...

Im glad this thread gets revived.

benge610 07-10-2025 01:51 PM

A little twist on "rarest".
My parent's families are all Northwest WI area.
The 1910 Minneapolis Millers (106-71) were revered back in the day;
Gavvy Cravath powered that team.
This T206 Cycle Back is nice to have in the Family Collection.
... even nicer,
with the "Jeff B' back stamp.

Thank you Luke for offering him up.

LOL... many years of patience and connections (and a bit of stored up cash helps)...

As far as letting them go... my kids will have to figure that one out...

Thank goodness I do not need the $, so I can enjoy these as the temporary care-takers while I am on the planet...
