What is the rarest card that you own!!!!

mickeymantle24 · May 10, 2008 6:44AM

Hi, I am doing this thread to find out what the rarest card that you own is. It can be low srial numbered, low Population report, etc. Thaks and I cannot wait to see what you guys have!!!! If you coul also provide a scan please do. Thanks

NickM · May 10, 2008 6:53AM

I have 3 1/1 cards. 2 are press plates (Juan Encarnacion pulled from Topps Total BB, and Ryan Shealy as a NPN from Topps Pristine BB), and the third is a Steve Blake Finest Gold Refractor rookie, found in a dealer's dime box.

Population report 1/1 is not that meaningful - especially as 1/1 turns into 1/2, 1/3, etc.

This one for me.....except this is not an old Judge. The card is mislabeled.

mickeymantle24 · May 10, 2008 7:47AM

WOW That is a nice card!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

shagrotn77 · May 10, 2008 8:11AM

The only PSA 9 true rookie card (and only centered copy I've ever seen) for HOF QB Warren Moon...

TNP777 · May 10, 2008 8:51AM

Something must be wrong. I thought I had logged onto CU, not the Beckett boards.

cohocorp · May 10, 2008 9:13AM

my rarest card is a 1967 topps venuzueala honus wagner. there are just 8 cards in total across all grades in the pop report.

wagner

perkdog · May 10, 2008 10:07AM

There are only 9 of these graded PSA 8 with none higher, maybe just considered a low pop but its the best I can do

mickeymantle24 · May 10, 2008 10:25AM

Awesome card perk. Keep the raraties coming

Estil · May 10, 2008 10:27AM

I own a complete set of 1993 Finest jumbo All-Stars; all of which are pratically flawless. Only about 1455 of each card exist and to get the whole set for only $160 was a steal.

ymarea · May 10, 2008 10:46AM

I own the first and so far only PSA Mint 9 (none graded higher) 1972 OPC CFL Ron Lancaster #79. Sorry, no scan, but you're not really missing much.

CDsNuts · May 10, 2008 10:58AM

Any 1/1 is the rarest card anybody owns.

hofautos · May 10, 2008 11:01AM

<< Any 1/1 is the rarest card anybody owns. >>

No, the card that no one owns is the rarest card that anyone owns....

but here's a melky 1/1

samspop · May 10, 2008 11:02AM

This one is mislabeled by PSA, but they cannot determine what it is, so they won't correct the label. Some sort of Test Issue 1970 MLB Photostamp???

The PSA 9 is a 1 of 1, the PSA 8 is a 1 of 2...

The only PSA 10...

A 1 of 1 Graded a PSA 10...

zep33 · May 10, 2008 11:11AM

<< Any 1/1 is the rarest card anybody owns. >>

I'm gonna pull a 0/0 one of these days

hofautos · May 10, 2008 11:13AM

I already have several of those... sorry no scans....well, actually i do have scans, but you can't see them...

VitoCo1972 · May 10, 2008 11:42AM

This is the rarest card that I own. It's the only Mint graded example by any of the companies. There are PSA 8's and 8.5's and SGC 8's but this is the only 9.

Sorry for the poor scan. My scanner doesn't do well with SGC cards.

JackWESQ · May 10, 2008 11:45AM

This 0/0 and 1/1 discussion reminds me to the question ... why does anybody do [fill in any activity] ... and the lame response ... "because they can."

Everytime I hear that, I ask myself ... in the history of mankind ... how many people have done something ... that they CAN'T DO? Of course, the answer to that question is ZERO.

nearmint · May 10, 2008 11:53AM

According to the pop report, it's this one--a PSA 4 but the only one graded.

packman · May 10, 2008 12:21PM

In 1972, a set was released called the Hitmakers. The set featured the "top" music acts in rock, country and R&B. The first series consists of 36 cards. A complete first series is tough to put together. A second series (or some cards for a second series) was produced but never released. I have been working on this set for over 10 years and have located only 3 cards from the 2nd series. Here is one of the cards from the 2nd series:

BigDaddyBowman · May 10, 2008 1:40PM

Perk that is just an awesome looking card...add that to my list!

Here are me two rarest:

metalmike · May 10, 2008 1:49PM

Mine is a 1966 OPC Pete Rose wrongback with Walt Alston on back. Since 2003 I have not seen another on the bay but I did see a Walt Alston Topps with Pete on back being sold for 75 but I passed. I regret not buying it.

nam812 · May 10, 2008 1:50PM

BDB, is that all free space in the dixie lid holder? If so, does it move around in there very easily?

BigDaddyBowman · May 10, 2008 1:53PM

Nick,
No SGC's black insert is custom cut to perfectly fit the shape of it.

<< Nick, No SGC's black insert is custom cut to perfectly fit the shape of it. >>

Wow, I can't even see that it's sitting in a cut out. That's a great fit. Nice.

Edited to add: But the writing on the flip is OC top to bottom.

wrestlingcardking · May 10, 2008 2:01PM

I have 1880 SF Hess cards of wrestlers...William Muldoon, Evan "Strangler Lewis" and Jack Carkeek.

elsnorto · May 10, 2008 2:20PM

BDB, did you see that Shotwell's Red Grange candy box on eBay? Awesome rarity, but I was surprised to see it hammer in excess of $1,500.

snorto..yes I did see that..and was tempted..but couldn't do it!

fkw · May 10, 2008 3:09PM

I have a couple dozen vintage cards that are one of a kind.

I have about 10 1921 Herpolsheimer cards (all cards from this set are unique).
Also one of my favorites is the 1959 Esslinger Beer Home Run Derby Hank Aaron that I have, its also a unique example recently discovered.

I would post scans but my website server is on the blink

kmnorton · May 10, 2008 3:15PM

Packman,

That's awesome, I had that card at one time (although not in that condition).

Only PSA 10 out of 70 submitted

Joe Knows Cards

jimq112 · May 12, 2008 8:06AM

Not sure how many of these are graded. Proof that rare doesn't always mean valuable. Isbell was one of the Green Bay Packers early star QBs and threw many of Don Hutson's touchdown catches.

2dueces · May 12, 2008 8:39AM

I'm not sure if this is the rarest piece I own as I don't have any idea how many are floating around out there. It is my favorite pre war piece.

magellan · May 12, 2008 9:13AM

Not sure how rare this really is but it is tough to find.

easydoesit · May 12, 2008 10:36AM

I have couple 1/1 cards, does anyone have anything rarer than that? Is there a 0/1 card???

Ladder7 · May 12, 2008 12:44PM

Very nice Galloping Ghost Ryan. I've got #20 from that set that I should holder.

1/1's from the same, original collection;

JeremyDie1 · May 12, 2008 1:00PM

sayheykid54 · May 12, 2008 1:01PM

1912 Hassan Triple Folder Ty Cobb Psa 7.

Stingray · May 12, 2008 9:47PM

Currently my 1976 Jerry Morales and Biff Pocoroba 8.5s, both are 1 of 1s, though there are cards that are graded 9s for them. I have the only ones that are graded 8.5!!

What is the rarest card that you own!!!!
