The Most Difficult Card On Your Want List

When we first began collecting high grade type cards, 35 years ago, a young, ambitious dealer told us "don't sweat over anything, ...it is only cardboard and
sooner or later, you will be able to buy it.

As we look back at three and half decades of collecting, we wondered what items were on our want list that we rarely if ever have seen for sale. The group we call America's Impossible Want List... Our choices can be found below:
(1) Fan Cigarette type card
(2) Spalding Australian Baseball Tour poster
(3) Winthrop Photo Moving Postcard
(4) Union Association Program (except St. Louis)
(5) Texas Tommy- Wagner, Cobb Matthewson, mcgraw

Which cards and memorabilia have you found nearly impossible to purchase?

Look forward to hearing your response.
