What's the rarest card you own?

1949 Sommer & Kaufmann card signed by Lefty. A tough set to find at all, PSA has graded no Lefty cards from either S&K issue. I suspect this signed specimen is the only one in the world.



And just for s**ts and giggles, here'e the 1948:

I love early postcards of HOFers. I think these two early postcards of HOF umpire Bill McGowan would qualify as "rare". The first is likely one of a kind. I know of another example of the second, but still "rare" nonetheless.

Both were sent to presumed girlfriend Irene Seveier. The first is postmarked in 1915. The second is addressed to the same Irene, although McGowan got married to another woman in 1918, so I assume the second was sent before 1918, but who knows? The text on the back might suggest that he still had some feelings for Irene if issued after 1918.

I love that both of these were personally sent by Bill McGowan. He had very nice penmanship. Do these qualify as autographed items since both were signed "Bill" at the end???
