I couldn't agree more!!! There's also only one #1, one #2, one #3, etc. What amazes me more is how buyers fall for this one of one crap, and pay multiple times over for a card that matches a jersey number. A jersey card of Hank Aaron numbered 44/100 may match his jersey, but there are a hundred of them. I guess as long as people pay a premium, sellers will continue to boost them up as one of one's.

Some people think it's *insane* to spend $200 on a 1988 Topps card just because some company says it's a "10."

Why is one right and one wrong? Both collector's are paying premiums for what they think is important. (Personally, I think both are a little nuts, but that's just me...)
Would I pay a lot extra for the 19/56 cards? No, but I do think they're kinda cool and are worth a tiny premium to me. Imagine someone putting together the entire run of 19/56 autographs. That would be pretty cool, don't you think?
Indeed, the money I spend and any cards is nuts from a practical standpoint. That said, I think the 19/56 is cool and will add a small premium to the auction.

Art I agree the 19/56 is a nice touch but it's not a true 1/1 in a sense that there are 56 cards in the run.
AJW, I am one of those crazy few who think there is a time to pay $200 for an 88T PSA 10, lol.
At any rate, I have always thought that a serial numbered card that either matches the player's jersey number, or is numbered 001/100, or 100/100 have always been pretty "cool" and I personally don't mind paying a premium for them, of course not much of a premium unless it happens to be a player or card I just happen to really, really want.
why is someone allowed to say 1/1 if it is one of 56?

Sure, if I count from 1 to 25, there IS only one 19!

Oooh, oooh, I know, I know. That one is absolutely wrong and insane.
Actually, the amount of money we spend on 95% of the cards is probably insane.
