Cards That Never Come Up For Sale

[gman]

1963 Pepsi Colt 45's Bateman, Lillis, and Warwick. I did see them in an old REA auction, but unfortunately I saw it a way after the fact.
Other than that auction, nothing.

My friend you spoke too soon. Leon has one in the Brockelman & Luckey Auction that just opened.

Hi Phil,
A few years ago, I traded My Early Wynn Safe-T-Card. Ditto for the Gil Coan, Sam Dente, and Clark Griffith examples I had (wish I had kept the Griffith!). Currently, I have the 2 cards I care most about in this set, Sam Rice & Mickey Vernon, because I collect all cards of these 2 players.

What surprises me the most about this set is that WaJo does not appear in the checklist - maybe a WaJo card is yet to be discovered - if so, maybe I'll get lucky some day, as I live in the area (Wash., DC) where these cards were distributed, and I go to yard sales, garage sales, estate sales, etc. frequently.
Best,
Val

Thanks for the info, Val. Wish you still had the Wynn and I could get it from you. I'm also hoping for a Gunther Beer Wynn someday......

I almost never see 1948 Gunther Beer Wash. Senators PCs or 1948-50 Safe-T-Cards come up for sale. Anyone have any?

My "White Whales" can certainly be found, but not in the conditions I seek.

For example, I crave #404 Dick Brodowski in a well centered PSA 6-7. But all that ever seem to come up are lower grade 4s and 5s, or badly centered 6s and 7s.

I also have literally never seen a centered Yogi Berra card come up on ebay. None. I think he's a real sleeper in the set, and honestly at this point, I'd pay a big premium to get a centered one.

1956 Parkhurst Football card #33 Calvin Jones. The only time I've seen this card was in a REA auction.

Val:

There were some Safe-T-Cards on e-bay a couple of years ago. Should have bought the McGowan & Wynn when I had the chance........

I'm glad I landed this one:

I thought it was unconfirmed that the Safe-T McGowan actually exists...was there one on ebay? I have looked for years now and have never seen one...I did take about 2 years off over the past decade, so it's possible it slipped through the cracks in those years. I might cry if I missed it as well!

Have not seen these for sale

[ALR-bishop]

I thought I saw those exact ones for sale :-)

Beautiful!!!! If you ever decide to part ways with it, make sure to let me know (and do not tell Phil)! I repeat, DO NOT TELL PHIL!

That "card" is simply stunning!

Derek:

The McGowan does exist, I have seen at least one (should have bought it).

thanks for confirming...I'll keep it on my "want list" then.

Hi big train its at 900 dollars just a rare gorgeous card nice job leon

[hcv123]

In 25+ years I have never seen a complete 1960 Bazooka box with Clemente - In fact I have only ever seen 3 other complete boxes from the set. I would pay dearly for the Clemente. Anyone............................................ ....

[hoot-owl]

Maybe not to the level of scarcity of some of the previously mentioned cards. But there are a handful of 1962 Jellos that I haven't seen or have only seen once (other than in the occasional complete set for sale) in ten+ years of looking--Pagliaroni, Maye, Larker, Grammas, Richardson, Law, among others. Recent eBay sale of a Bill Skowren box for somewhere northwards of $1K--tough short print in a full box for a outrageous sum.

Hi Derek, the Gibson card actually has 3 pinholes if you look closely, still a pretty nice card. I think Phil all ready knows about it

I think he meant, don't tell him if it becomes available..
