Does that card really exist?
We recently had a thread about one-of-a-kind cards; what about catalogued cards that you've never seen?
There's always hope, as there have been a few unexpected unique finds over the past few years. The Tango Eggs Cobb, Just So Ewing, and of course that breathtaking N167 complete set come to mind. So, does [that card] really exist? Last edited by 4815162342; 12-05-2013 at 01:34 AM. |

Currently, at the top of my list would be an e92 Nadja Cobb. From past threads one was rumored to exist but no one could provide a scan. I would also like confirmation on the Zimmerman, Doyle (with bat), Donovan, and Bescher.

I'm just glad this one exists considering I'm from Pittsburgh:

Maybe not what you're looking for but Tinker with a P42 is possible but never seen. Chase blue portrait Drum is confirmed but no record of it.
I'd like to think a Joe Jackson T206 proof was made.

That would be insane, if it ever did turn up.
Too bad the E107's of Wagner & Matty didn't have their baseball uniform variation. They would be pretty cool. Tony |

It did on April Fools Day here a few years ago! Admit it, who was fooled by it?? Last edited by scooter729; 12-04-2013 at 08:48 PM. |

I'll add the rumored blue mount N173 to the list.

I know this was a 2013 post, but the Tinker PD 42 has since been confirmed (which Chris knows). Progress!

If we're hoping for cards, what about a 14 or 15 CJ Ruth. If one were discovered I think it shatters the record for most expensive card of all time in the right grade, or perhaps any grade.

Since Rich opened this up to post war cards, I'd like to add a Richie Ashburn card from the Felin Franks set.
I have a newspaper ad proof showing the card, but have never seen one. I have all the other known Ashburn cards including some really rare cards, like Lummis, Dad's Cookies etc. but this one has eluded me for 40 years. You can see the ad proof here: http://www.net54baseball.com/showthr...in#post1357095 Fred Last edited by whiteymet; 02-13-2016 at 01:00 AM. |

There is at least one blank back Mello mint that exists. Paper thin and has the signature crease.
Congrats again on the pick-up!!! Last edited by Danny Smith; 02-13-2016 at 06:10 AM. |

Thanks again guys. No blank backs that I know of, but there is a signed Larry Doyle (throwing) on the PSA pop report. I would love to see that card.

No Cobb Nadja, but I do possess a E92 same of Honus - batting PSA 3 vg, which if I have read the population reports from SGC & PSA correctly, is the only graded copy recorded. Whether it is the only one around is highly dubious, but it does seem rare for sure. It just might, repeat, might, be coming up for auction at a later date this year.
P.S. Sorry, but I remain computer challenged so no scan possible at the moment. |

I want to see a 1923 W572 Rapp or Barbare. Barbare was only added to the checklist recently, but no one can confirm why it was added. (There are two other W572s I have never seen a photo of - but at least each of those has a graded copy, so if we assume the grading companies didn't goof, at least we know those exist).
Cheers, Patrick Last edited by SMPEP; 02-13-2016 at 11:13 AM. |

Elmer Flick Novelty Cutlery
I've had a near set of Novelty Cutlery postcards (23 of 26) before. I consider it a 25 card set because Elmer Flick does not exist. I can tell you, if that postcard really existed, I would have found it by now.

Honestly, it was probably a situation where the checklist was accumulated either over the telephone or by a hand-written letter. The receiving end just assumed it was Flick with all that star-power in the set. I mean, why would Frock even be in this set in the first place? Reminds me of that game where you sit around a circle and whisper a secret and when it gets back around to you (who originally started it) it sounds nothing like it did when you first told it...
