Love seeing all the GREAT cards shown!

At first glance this looks like the quite common 1967 Topps pinup insert. It differs in a number of ways - 1) It is printed on sticker stock (similar to 67 Pirates/Red Sox stickers and 68 Action all star stickers) 2) there is no number 3) The image is much crisper than on the pin-ups. It has been examined by many experts - a consensus of opinion is it was a 1 off prototype done by Topps - not even making it to a testing phase. To date it is the only example of any player I have ever seen.

A recent addition and the only one known/graded.

The mystery 'W515-2' style card at top is mine, the 'Made in Germany' designated strip of five is owned by a fellow Net54 member, and the individual W515-2 strip cards are shown to identify that W515-2 artwork/image size was utilized to create this rare German issue.

Very cool, I've never seen this before. I wonder if there is a Ruth out there from this set. :)

Guessing my rarest cards would be either my T4 Obak Cabinets or my Old Mill Cabinet.

The John Tiedeman T4 Obak Cabinet was trimmed to the oval, whereas the Claude Berry T4 Obak Cabinet is complete. The Joseph Laughlin H801-7 Old Mill Cabinet is one of my favorite items.

I also have some "color freaks" which would qualify as rare. They include a Otto Miller B18, a E92 Harry Bemis, and a E102 Red Kleinow.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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

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.

Wow, never heard the Pinkertons referred to as W530s before. You learn something new every day.

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.
