Show your rarest card

I still search Henrique daily, but I've seen maybe 3 of these:

and only one of these:

576Henriqueretroblankback1112.jpg


and I still to this day haven't seen the Elite Status Gold /10 die cut. I'd give my left n....... wait. I'd pay well for it.
 
I'm loving this thread. Here's a couple more I haven't seen posted yet:

/15 and took me forever to find. I know some collectors who still need others from this set.

And a bane for many player collectors.
 
how often do ya see this one, from back when SPA had GU in it-

Lemieux 1999 Bap Millennium Pearson Auto 18/30. I don't think I've seen another one since I bought this years ago.
 
Nice stuff, Stephen! Glad you showed an elusive UM5 Blades card (and one I still need). :D

That Plante stick with half his name is an awesome one! :beer:

Here you go Matt (one via Inferno, one pulled)

Ahh yes, the top one was the one you got from me I believe. My other copy looked like the second one with the black leather and stitching but I don't remember who I sold that one to. Those are the only three copies that I know of.
 
I love this thread. Thank you to everyone for posting in it. Let's see more!

:corn:
 
some of the more rare from back in the day, but glad to pull Gretzky's

We don't even need to go into the realm of the serial #d stuff to get some rare stuff in here. I could go on all day with my Irbe stuff, but just thought I'd show someof the rarest, non serial #d stuff of his that I have in my Photobucket.

Available for one day only at the end of the 1997-98 season and most have long since been destroyed:

Finnish and Swedish Semic Sticker. 'Nuff said, all player collectors know the pain that is the three Semics from Europe:

1991-92 Kansas City Blads Team-Issue. Hyper-scarce, limited distribution and no copy that ever sells for under $50 on eBay:

9192irbekcblades.jpg


Supposedly #d out of either 90 or 120, yet in all of my years of collecting, this is the only copy of this card that I have ever seen:

0203irbefirstedition.jpg


Equally uncommon, rare even. The stick-only version of this pops up every couple of months or so, but the Super-Souvenir has not popped up on eBay a single time in years.

The 2002-03 BAP Signature Series Buyback Auto Collection. How scarce they are nobody knows (except ITG), but just try getting them all together for your PC players...they can be quite the little challenge. I've done alright:

0102irbebuybackautogold.jpg

Obviously rare, but obvious with its low #:

1993-94 Topps Stadium Club First-Day Issue OPC Oversized. Supposedly less than 100 of these out there and the only one of its kind that I have ever seen myself:

9394irbesc1stdayopcproof.jpg


And there are yet many more that are on my website, but not in my bucket.
 
A few of my limited Labarbera Cards..

I realize some of these cards are not as rare as HG or other current low serial # inserts. But try finding these when they are 10 years old almost... :curse:

Both BAP cards are #/10.

Not to mention people dont just flood Ebay with Labarbera.
