What's the rarest card you own?

[Brian Van Horn]

Another three to add with the latter two picked up since January 1 and one last year.

[Kid9]

I have a Cobb also.

When it comes to specifically Baseball cards, it would be one of the three unbroken 1962 Canadian Post Sugar Crisp panels I have in my collection. Here's the one with legendary greats Frank Robinson, Rocky Colavito and Juan Marichal:

I don't know how many of these are out there, but there can't be very many. 1953 was Newsom's last season, and he died in 1962. I picked this up from Jim Stinson a few years ago.

It would be this one now; Fox is depicted as a Phillie, but spent all of 1953 in the minors, resurfaced with Baltimore the following year, spent 1955 in the minors, then was murdered a couple days after the season ended.

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).

With apologies for the nearly 4 years it took me to see your post Alan, I must say you DESERVE to take that certain pride in owning what is currently a unique Saier.

I'm still beating the bushes...

Cool card, Scott! Amazing.

[puckpaul]

throwing this one out here…any others around? I see that Jay had one for sale on here back in 2008, but i have seen none at auction except for a cut version of it in heritage 7 years ago. There are a few for sure, anyone else have one to show from their collection? No sales on VCP at all.

[sportscardpete]

Paul - I have never seen one, that is an amazing card!

[JamesGallo]

The Wood is unique. Apparently there are 5 or so of the Jackson but I don't recall ever seeing one for sale or in a collection....

Probably my M101-1 Bobby Wallace RC in a BVG 2.5.

[Neal]

I found this one and had it graded
I've only seen a few of these

I’m grateful…

Hadn't seen this thread before so I spent the last twenty minutes twirling through all 500+ posts. What a cavalcade of terrific eye candy! Here's a few of my cards that I would deem rare not due to a pop report number but simply because they rarely if ever show up for sale.

1890s John McGraw cabinet. Can't be too many of these.



1908 Rose pc Moonlight Graham. I've read there's only four known.



1911 JKA Matty. Never see these at auction.



1911 T4 Buck Weaver. Only know of one other.

David--As contemporary players would remark, your cards are sick! I've never seen a Moonlight Graham Rose PC. Thank you for sharing some spectacular eye candy with us.

Cheers,
Mike

1920 Ruth portrait, considered by some as his 1st card in a Yankees uniform. Only 55 PSA graded unnumbered.

[mordecaibrown1]

Couldn't just pick one but these are four of my favorite rare ones:

[ASF123]

That Magee is a 2?? Jeez. I had no idea that SGC was so tough on misusing “Your” for “You’re.”

What an amazing thread. WOW

I like the Rodney Peete's too! I must have the lowest Hornsby, LOL. My eyes hurt, can't see why the low grade Did not realize there were only 2. I also have the Cobb. Looks the same but is an 8. We must be the only 2 guys who like these

Fit's in perfect with my low eye appeal collection.

[Fuddjcal]

being that this thread was resurrected...

Here's one of mine. I'm sure someone on the board has owned it before? I think there is 1 blue and 1 red? I'm sure someone knows more about it than I do? I have seen these with the entire diamond intact, but not the Wagner

[Yoda]

Chuck, I, too, have the Cobb in an 8. I love the fact that he is in an A's uniform and in a fielding position. A fairly rare and unappreciated set.

[B O'Brien]

While I’ve seen plenty of the T216 Lajoie Philly cards, this is the only one that I’ve found with the Never Go Out back. If anyone has or has seen another, let me know. The Blank back Collins still seems to be the only one floating around and Jeff G tells me the Morehouse Merkle is a lone example as well.

Happy long weekend,
Bob
