List of low population vintage cards throughout the years

I was searching through ebay a few nights ago and stumbled upon some surprising prices for common cards in high grade (Usually PSA 8+). This started me thinking, which cards from which issues are the most notorious to find in great shape? I thought this might be a fun thread to start and to learn about certain years that I'm not as familiar with. Let's stay away from short print issues as well as high numbers and focus on true low pop cards.
I'll start:

1971 Topps #536 Claude Raymond
1971 Topps #351 Jim Shellenback

    75 mini Tommy Davis. Even the single 9 looks like a 7.5.

    1966 #591 Grant Jackson rookie. This card is so tough that even a mid grade PSA 5 will go for over $100. That's just one of at least a dozen tough '66 highs.
    Sorry, didn't read the post carefully. High numbers not included.
