What's the rarest card you own?

[George]

Not sure how rare this is, but I have not seen another one.

Those are great Scott...George I would say any Orange Border is rare and a Wagner especially...Jerry

Those Dockman boxes are awesome. They just about tell the whole story. The manufacturer of the boxes, J.M. Raffel Company, also had a company baseball team for a period of time.

I don't know if this qualifies because of how many are here, but if you count it as a group, I've never heard of three 1890 Old Judge Player's League cards of the same pose together. Most Player's League poses don't have three examples.

Unfortunately these scans are old, 1890 OJ cards have poor picture quality, and the PL is hard to see in all of them, which is how I ended up with all three for about $400 total, when even the low grade one should have went for more. The "(PL)" on every card is to the right of his left foot. It's easier to see in person on all three cards.

Super rare. Others exist, but very very few. I sold a portrait Wagner Orange border in memory lane earlier this year, and I kind of regret it. I think the batting pose is tougher than portrait and portrait is near impossible. Those are tough tough cards.
