I have seen three authentic Gaedel's in my lifetime. One on a Q and A card (Oser I think sold it like fifteen years ago), a beat up photograph and a government post card sized piece of paper.
As far as rarity goes, there are several (most of the 19th Century) that fit into the 0-5 known to exist category, "if that" and of course this is all debatable to who the most difficult one is.
Radbourne (Coach's Corner has a beauty this week), Delahanty, Galvin, Brouthers, Keefe and even Hill and Torriente.
Ron Keurajian is almost done wit the the mother of all Hall Of Fame Baseball Autograph books (800+ pages) and hopefully at this time next year, it will be available for sale...outdoing (won't be hard) the M.A Baker book.
