So you are the sole owner of that impossible card. The one that a lot of people are looking for.
Maybe it's a card. Maybe it's a pack. Maybe it's a sheet.
Perhaps it's a PSA 9 or even 10, and the next best one is a 7 or less.
Here's my question. Do you keep it to yourself. Do you not tell anyone, or do you share it with the world ?
I'm sure everyone is different, and if you're wondering, I would never tell.

I believe this is the ONLY ticket ever slabbed (someone with a POP report can confirm):
I'll start digging through and see what I can come up with to share.

Hey I was there too! No ticket though.

This is the most rare Wrestling All Stars card that exists. I have a lot of Pop 1's but there is no other card in the set where there will ever be so few that come close.
There is one PSA 8 and most would grade a PSA 4 or PSA 5.

Echo-That's an interesting piece. That looks like it a ticket to the Baseball Hall of Fame itself, correct? And not the actual Induction. I am surprised that PSA would slab that as an Induction ticket when in fact that it is a ticket for admission to the HOF on the day of the induction. Unless I am wrong.
Not trying to rain on your parade (or ticket), just seems interesting to me. Since only the reserved areas are ticketed on induction day.
First is my strip of '51 Bowman scrap (front & back printed on both sides) featuring Ted Williams and a Nellie Fox RC:
Second is my 1960 Topps Flexichrome. It's a hand painted/tinted photo of Killebrew & Colavito, the two home run kings of 1959 that was to be made into a double feature card in the 1960 Topps set. However, the card was scrapped as Colavito was traded before the cards were printed. This looks amazing in person:

Or a starting lineup - this one with Ted Williams in the lineup - signed by HOF'er Lou Boudreau.
<< <i>Hey 70Topps - does the Hodges have the "1970 white line" across the top or is it just an illusion from the scan? I have several with the white line that I want to sub and was wondering if 10s are possible? >>
There IS a white line basically at the very top of the card basically at the top edge, so I'd say you have a shot!
Let me know how it goes (and if you get any 9s or 10s that you want to part with let me know).
Regards

You are correct, this ticket is from the HOF on 7/25/99, which was the same day as induction.

Thanks Jeff.....I could start with the lineup cards from game 1 of Cal Ripken Jr.'s 2632 Consecutive Game Streak.....

Tango Eggs were not even discovered until '91, having for the most part sat dormant from their printing in 1916. No one knows how many cards were in the issue, only 20 are known with the discovery of this card in '09 and Cobb earlier this year.
This card is the only known example in any condition.
Always tough to tell if something is truly one of a kind, but I've never come across another uncut sheet of the '40 Harry Hartman set
Always looking for Topps Salesman Samples, pre '51 unopened packs, E90-2, E91a, N690 Kalamazoo Bats, and T204 Square Frame Ramly's
You ain't kidding. And I haven't even mentioned the match worn sock that Gorilla Monsoon gave me, but that's a story for another day.
Currently collecting 1934 Butterfinger, 1969 Nabisco, 1991 Topps Desert Shield (in PSA 9 or 10), and 1990 Donruss Learning Series (in PSA 10).
This is a pin one rarely sees - it's more of a 'club' pin rather than the BB HOF.
Not one of a kind - but comes up rarely in this condition - I also found a coupon for the same pack:
This game is not one of a kind - but the condition is - from 1928 and totally mint!

Have to throw this in (as I've done a few times before). "Little Poison"... a commissioned creation by Knuckles. Haven't seen anything around here from him lately. Hope he's still at it.

Very cool!
The Waner's had their own board game back in the late 20s thru the 30s - was very popular.
Garret's still around - tho I don't see him post as much - his card making skills are incredible!
I took the old Peanuts Joe Shlabotnik panels and updated them with guys that Gary played with --- last year I sent it on to Gary and he signed it. One of my favorite pieces.
<< <i>There might be a second one out there, but this is pretty darn old, pretty cool, and at the very least pretty close to unique.
Superb Marc!
I'll fish them out and post some pics later today, I tried to take them right off my registry sets to no avail.

At the time, I was a huge Griffey fan (like everyone else in Seattle) and collected anything I could get my hands on. I called the bus company and asked if they had an extra billboards that did not go onto the busses. They told me they usually ended up with 3 or 4 extras and sold them for $20 and that they would see if they had any of the Griffey. The guy came back and said they only had one leftover and I could buy it. These were basically giant stickers that got attached to the bus, so they could not have been removed once they were done with them, so I am pretty sure this is the only one that survived.
It is huge (about 2.5 feet by 12 feet)
It has been rolled up in a box for about 12 years, not sure what I will ever do with it. Maybe a Griffey collector would want it. Might be time to try it on eBay.
Sorry for the bad pictures, it is hard to photograph, and is all "wavy" since it has been rolled up for so long.

Awesome Marc. Now you just need one of these to go with it...
And my favorite one-of-a-kind item:
It's one of only 3 known surviving original D-Day landing maps. The story of this one is incredible. My grandfather drove a landing craft on the day of the invasion. During one of his troop runs, the boat in formation near him was hit by heavy fire and was destroyed before reaching the beach. After dropping his men off, my grandfather brought his craft along the side the stranded craft, rescuing the injured men that had survived. One of those men was my grandfather's good friend and bunk mate, who was the pilot of the destroyed craft. His injuries proved grave and he passed away aboard the ship later that morning. His personal effects were given to my grandfather to ensure his wife received them. When his pockets were emptied, the doctors failed to take the landing map that was in his pocket and it was given to my grandfather with the rest of the effects. As the morning progressed and the wave of troop landing subsided, all of the maps were collected and destroyed so as to limit the risk of certain information getting out. My grandfather, having received the additional map with his friend effects, returned that, and tucked his own away in his footlocker. Later in his life, my grandfather gave me all of his military items and medals, and I treasure them to this day.
