I wouldn't really call that card the "holy grail" of football cards. Rarest doesn't not always equate to most desirable or most valuable. The Mayo Cut Plug Football set is an interesting early collegiate football set, but I'd say the 1935 National Chicle set is more collectible and more desirable because it features players from the early days of the NFL.

I've been doing this since 1988, I am still waiting for cards like that to walk through the door.

Still, a pretty cool find.

What a tease! They need more photos. They also mentioned some boxing cards in the find. I'd love to know more about what they found boxing-wise.

Sounds like it was the N310 Mayo boxers from 1890 - not huge money in there for the most part, but would've liked to see some pics if there were any John L's or anything else exciting....

I laughed at the comment about it being the second rarest card behind Bret Favre's 1884 card...the one from the year he first tried to retire.
