Show your rarest card

I'm guessing the scan is so old its been archived now in Flickr, but I have a 2009-10 BTP Tony Esposito Glove Save Silver /9 kicking around in my like...12 hockey cards I still have. I've been looking for it at least once a month for the last 2 years on eBay. Doc Price confirmed to me a couple times that they packed all 9 copies out, but I've yet to see another one, let alone a black or gold with the quality of glove piece this silver has. If anybody has one, I'd love to see it because I'm thinking it could be a Clint Benedict Finest Moments-esque SP.
 
I covet this card...

It's a beauty.

At one point I owned two copies of that Benedict card, a black leather piece and a beige leather piece. That card couldn't have had a print run of more than four or five. VERY rare and so is the Sawchuk with glove pieces.
 
this is my rarest card. it is numbered to 50 but I saw only few of them for last 6-8 years

These two are numbered to 10 and I have luck that I have them in my collection. I saw them only once:

Here's one I don't own, the ones /99 are somewhat scarce however the last card in the set is /35. I haven't seen one for sale in 4 or 5 years This is another board members set... Another card I'd give a lot to get..

I've got these 2 that have caused quite a bit of fuss. Both came out of Pinnacle this year and are quite quite rare. One other Alfie has been spotted and is in another set builders hands, but that is the only Ott I've ever seen.

Here are a few from my Topps master sets that rarely come up. Most of these are unnumbered and no official print run was released, but likely less than 10 for the Heritage Bonus/Patch cards:

Not really as rare most of the ones you guys have posted, but I've pulled these all myself over the years! My favourite is Larry Walsh, of course :)

Here's my Linden white whale. Haven't seen a copy in many years.

It's not numbered, but my guess is that it is sitting in a bunch of unopened packs.

This is from the same year as the MVP Crosby rc and Ovechkin rc. So boxes rarely (if ever) go on sale.

Part of me thinks the only way I'm going to obtain one of these is to hunker down and buy a case of the stuff - and pray.
