A card any card from this set has been on my wantlist for a long long time. I turned over a few hundred Sealtest stickers over the past 40 plus years looking for one. Happy to add one to my collection. And all I had to do was win an auction.
One of the Truly scarce postwar Baseball card Issues. Just like the thread title says.

This is 5 of the total of 33 Upper Deck Infinite cards PSA has Graded since they were issued 12 years ago. The set was 30 cards Basketball Football and Golf subjects. They were part of a credit card Upper Deck wanted to push. I got these by signing up for a card at the Philly show in valley forge. But I never used the card as it was too difficult to earn points for the card packs.
Well I was not the only one who didn't use the card. And because there were bank regulations around this issue they destroyed the leftovers. Easily the scarcest UD issue. There are 3 Jordans in the set with a total of 4 cards graded by PSA.
Because they are so rare no one collects them ..
Sounds like something Yogi would say.

Interesting. You never know when one of these obscure issues will catch on, once properly publicized. Someone picked up a Dorsett for $10 delivered on eBay recently, so still obscure.

Well I had only focused on the Basketball but noticed Dorsett Kelly Staubach Football subjects had been sitting in ebay so picked them up.
Matbe 5 years ago I traded emails with a guy who was collecting the Golf subjects and sold him the 2 I had. But as long as they stay obscure and inexpensive I will do my best to put a set together.
