My collection is all over the place, so I probably have a lot of pieces that are pretty rare - although in my defense, I don't really think in those terms. Maybe the fact that I don't own any graded cards keeps me from thinking in terms of pop numbers or registries.
Anyway, one item I have that may be one of a kind comes from the criminally under-collected M113/M114 set, the Baseball Magazine premiums. Fellow board member Doug Goodman and I seem to be the only collectors of this set who are making a run for a complete set - and I do have one piece he acknowledges he's never owned or even seen. I attended the third National, the one held in Parsippany NJ and organized by Lew Lipset. That was back in 1983. While there, I ran across a dealer who had a number of M113's (the oversized ones that are usually found trimmed), all of which had been glued to poster board and trimmed close to the picture borders. I think I paid about $20 for a group of six, which included several very nice Hall of Famers (McGraw, Jennings, and the magnificent "Walter Johnson's Pitching Arm). Also included were a few commons, including Vic Saier. For those of you who don't closely follow Dead Ball Era baseball, Vic Saier was a slightly above-average first baseman with the Cubs in the years leading up to the First World War. His career was essentially over by the time he was twenty-five, but he had a couple of good years that would have explained his inclusion in the M113 set in 1913. Except that no checklist, no review of the set, no compilation of the issue, has EVER referenced or uncovered the issuance of a Vic Saier photo in the M113 set. Except for the one that I have.  It's probably not all THAT valuable, given how few people collect this set seriously. But I do take a certain pride in having an item that nobody else has (apparently). Alan Kleinberger

1871 Troy Haymakers
Well, this 1871 Troy Haymakers scorecard isn't quite old enough to be among the first BB cards; but, it sure is rare. Ten scorecards were issued in 1871 - 1872 portraying players on this National Association team. William "Clipper" Flynn (1871 - 1872)   TED Z T206 Reference .

Looks like this is the only Meyers Catching on either the PSA or SGC reports (although SGC has two Meyers cards listed with an unspecified pose).

Ted, that is amazing. Regarding scorecards:
Here is a scorecard from Joe Jackson's last game in the minors with the New Orleans Pelicans (same team he plays for in his T210 card). The AH (not Lelands) said it was the only one they had seen. Awesome T214 Bender. I literally just consigned one of the other know T214 Benders to Heritage (it will be in their March auction). T214s are so cool and so so tough Last edited by Rhotchkiss; 01-11-2022 at 09:30 AM.

Thanks....and, so is your New Orleans Pelicans scorecard amazing. Here is another 19th Century scorecard (circa 1890). Not as rare as the Troy scorecard; nevertheless, a very colorful one.   TED Z T206 Reference .

Elysian Fields
1865 Currier & Ives lithograph of Elysian Fields where the first organized game of Baseball was played on June 19, 1846 in this ballpark in Hoboken, NJ.
This 90-year old copy of the original Currier & Ives Litho was replicated by the Sidney Z. Lucas Gallery in NYC (circa 1930). It's nearly impossible to find original 1865 copies of this Currier & Ives print. This picture (23" x 15" cardboard) is the decorative centerpiece in my office, surrounded by my various uncut sheets of BB and FB cards (1927 to 1961).  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- v---- Henry Chadwick (Baseball Journalist)  TED Z T206 Reference .
