1922 William Paterson - Travis Jackson, picked up right before the National this year.
Thanks, Chris! Toughest one to find that I let go of, 1946 Sears St. Louis Cardinals Postcards - Red Schoendienst. REALLY wish I had that one back. Last edited by bcbgcbrcb; 08-20-2012 at 06:20 PM. |

Probably the E107 Kelley.
Closely followed by the E107 Clarke, E107 McGraw, and E107 Wagner. Last edited by terjung; 08-20-2012 at 05:59 PM. Reason: typo |

Here are a couple more of my favorite tough ones

The below rank as my personal favorites in my collection as well as some of the absolute toughest cards I have. Many of these weren't really cards I sought out, except maybe the B&W m116, but were rather cards I just stumbled into and had an opportunity to obtain.
The e94 represents not only a unique player with a silver background in the e94 set, but an entire unique variation as a 2nd e94 silverback has never been found. The d311 bluegrass variation maybe unique to this player but I'm thinking other examples exist that are missing that color pass. The e95 Cicotte is the only distinct background color variation I've ever seen from the e95 or e96 set. The m116 is one of only two black and white m116s that I'm aware of. d311vanb.jpg m116mitchell-001.jpg misprints.jpg Item_21866_1.jpg Last edited by shammus; 08-21-2012 at 10:30 PM. |

Amazing stuff here!
Pete, that Lowdy is unreal. Jeff, that Matty PC makes me drool. Is that a JuJu Matty? Wow! |

|

Wow
Wow, Jeff, what a great Mathewson PC!
And can someone tell me more about the T215 Pirates miscut? It's been years since *any* T215 has traded publicly. To see a major miscut like that is absolutely phenomenal -- would love to hear any background on that...! |

Certainly not the toughest card in the world, but my small contribution to this thread:

Thanks Jason
Thanks Jason. Fred Toney was a really good pitcher that time has pretty much forgot. He kind of did it to himself though because he wasted a few years in the Chicago Cubs system not really trying hard because he never really wanted to pitch in the majors. He was content to pitch in the minor leagues. As a result he lost roughly 3-4 seasons of his prime that he could have used at the major league level.

my contribution
My contribution. I looked for a Wright that I liked for well over 10 years. I looked for Charleston for what seemed like quite a while. Mackey I lucked into soon after I learned of its existence, but it is sure hard to find now.

Toughest card (for me) as a function of various sets
Pre-WWII
N162 ..... Sharp examples of either Anson or Kelly are tough simply because of the law of "supply vs. demand" for these two cards. E90-1 ..... Either one of these two cards in my current set of E90's are the toughest; as, they were when I completed my 1st set (circa 1990's). ...... OR ...... T206 ..... Any card with this back T207 ..... For me Chet Hoff was the toughest Post WWII 1949 LEAF ...... OR ...... 1949 BOWMAN PCL ..... Any one of the 36 cards in this very scarce set TED Z |

There you go - trying to make me throw up again. Any time I see a BL 460 back, or even hear of their existence, I have that reaction, because of the two I sold and the one I failed to buy. Oh well.
Thanks Ted.

My toughest card
I really enjoy looking at all of the great cards on this thread. Makes me want to concentrate more on the rarity of cards instead of the grade. Here is my humble entry.
I have not seen many of these come up for sale in the last three years. I was pleased when I got it, and even more pleased when I got it placed in an SGC holder. Best regards, Joe |
