What's the rarest card you own?

Hank, I have no idea as to what the total pop of the 1910 Dockman All Star Base-Ball candy boxes is.

As to the total pop of individual graded cards, PSA appears to have graded only 1 card from this set: https://www.psacard.com/pop/baseball...hand-cut/33252.

SGC's pop report is more difficult to navigate than PSA's, IMHO. I am unable to find the two SGC-graded cards that Scott showed in Post #211 of this thread anywhere in SGC's pop report. And, I can only find this one graded example in SGC's pop report: https://www.gosgc.com/pop-report/res...20Gum/Baseball Edited to add that this link apparently doesn't work, even though I copied the link from the SGC pop report page I was looking at. This one card I found in the SGC pop report is George Gibson.

Many real-photo, black & white sets were issued by different companies in 1916 using the same two sets of card, commonly referred to as the M101-4 and M101-5 sets. The cards from several of these sets are very scarce/rare. The following are my type cards, and while each is a 1-of-1 per the PSA & SGC pop reports, it would not surprise me if there are raw examples of some of these in collections.

Recently picked up what I believe to be my rarest Bob Feller collectible, a c1947 PC of Bob Feller, "-now pitching for Popsicle"

Its been 10yrs since I saw the last one of these up for sale.

A more recent pick up. When I saw it, I was like, ok I have to have it...

Boy, Feller and Rocky Marciano are the two biggest advertising whores I've ever seen. I don't think there was an endorsement deal too small for either of them.

Meanwhile, my contribution for the day:

Hi Val,

Thanks for posting that info and for sharing your example from the set.

I haven't really paid much attention to SGC's new website since they got rid of their registry.

Sounds like they've lost data from their old pop reports as I had my whole set graded by SGC back at the 2005 national. In the old pop report, besides my set, I only ever remember them having graded maybe 2-3 other cards in total from the set.

I own some Star Player Candy cards and some Curtis Ireland Candy cards that have less than five on the pop reports. But for something different, I will post these cards.

1) A trimmed N175-2 (the rarer, larger size) Gypsy Queen card
2) Two cabinet cards of Yale Murphy. The first is from Pach Brothers when he was a senior at Yale. The second is from the Newboy series.

Looks like your Keefe and my Connor are Gypsy Queen brothers.

Very cool piece

[ctownboy]

Brian,

Cool to see another partial Gypsy Queen.

I got my Keefe in a trade with Ted Koch when he lived in Indianapolis. At that time, he had six of the nine cards in the set and all of them had the advertising cut off.

Your Conner might have been one that Mr. Koch owned.

It certainly looks like they came from one source. I received mine in a group vintage lot about 12-15 years ago, and I believe that it was identified as an Old Judge card. Because of the trimming, it is approximately the same size as an Old Judge, so I thought about it as such until about 4-5 years ago a Net54 member identified it as a Gypsy Queen.
