Will a 1 of 1 do?
This series of 10 cards was issued in a horizontal strip. It uses the same images as the ca. 1925 4-on-1 Exhibit cards with boxers and baseball players. The stock is much thinner than Exhibit stock. I have only seen the Cobb once: this one. Uncatalogued until I catalogued it. Here's the Al Simmons from the same strip issue:

Surprise, I may have the least desirable rarest card. My R308 Type 2 (large size) self-developing Tattoo Orbit of Pepper Martin is, as far as I know, one of a kind. The only other player I have ever seen for Type 2 is Jimmy Foxx.

I'll show this card since there are others from this set currently on the front page auction going on.
Edit: Actually, I stand corrected. Card is from a different set than the front page auction. Last edited by glchen; 12-15-2021 at 12:53 AM. |

Here's one of the prize-winning cards from the 1968 Atlantic Oil set. With only a few $100 prizes, there were only a handful made and I have never seen another one.
This Ruth is rare, but not as rare as the other cards shown in this amazing thread. I just love the way it looks...and it really bugs the guy who sold it to me when I post it. REA sold a 1.5 for $4,680 in April.

I may be able to joust ya; on the, "least desirable"; lol. 'Wickey' McAvoy, an 18 yr-old catcher from Rochester, NY; after his team had a series with the Baltimores; is signed by Connie Mack's A's, as a back-up catcher. Subsequently is sent to Baltimore for seasoning. While there, McAvoy catches a young pitcher named Ruth; undoubtedly is reporting analysis of this young pitcher back to Philly. When Mack begins negotiations with Dunn of Baltimore, Mr. Mack feels $10K is a bit steep for his liking; prolly thinking negotiations will follow. The rest is history as Boston came a calling. My guess is that after the passing of Powers and ATC pulling his card from the 350 run; someone from the A's office acquired this card from the printer (nameplate removed, no shadow); inserted it into the ol' typewriter (anyone remember those? lol) and gave Wickey his own 'card'; this was a big deal to some back then, having your own baseball card. I am still digging on this backstory but wanted to share what I have. Ben (Lover of all baseball history backstory; especially when it involves cards!)

Great cards Brian. Especially like the WaJo as I think any Altoona Tribune cards of any player are going to be exceedingly rare.
Question though, what are those several cards you posted last? Not familiar with the set, and assume they are all blank backed. |

1964 Topps All-Star Rookie Banquet Card
Since a few collectors have previously posted Post-War items, I thought I'd post this fairly rare, desirable card of Pete Rose. But, Pete is not the reason for it being in my humble collection. I enjoy collecting unique '50s and '60s White Sox memorabilia; and this bad boy includes 3 Chisox Topps Rookie All-Star Team selections.

Post them up, Brian. Here is one I have only seen one of. And it could go in my thread about owning the same card twice too. I think I overpay every time I get one back because there is a tiny bit of sentimnetality in my bidding.

I know this is a contradiction in terms, but I have too many to list. I'm not bragging. I'm simply a type collector in part of my collection. Still, here is one:

I think this is the highest graded copy (out of 2 or 3 total?) - Regardless, I'm super happy/excited/grateful to have it!

[QUOTE=Leon;2175245]the rarest Ruth....one that was never made! W626
I guess mine, since it's from a test set, is also a one of none... I see yours and you see mine, so they must have been made...just not in bulk...right? Does this line of thought make all those modern BUNT Digitals just as rare? UGH! Perish the thought. .
