I love watching older, rarer GU sales and dreaming about owning that rare item, like a pre-war patch. Chris Levy posted an awesome article on the front page about rare GU - http://www.freedomcardboard.com/?p=1382. Of course one of the problems with rare GU, if you want to own it that is, is of course the fact, that it is rare.

So that being said, post one of your own personal favorite rare GU cards, or, a link to an ebay auction of a rare GU card - I'll start, here are three I found last night, all from '08 Prime Cuts

Satchel Paige Patch - [phil:ckmbj9v4]220768972471[/phil:ckmbj9v4]
Jim Thorpe Jumbo - [phil:ckmbj9v4]370501664835[/phil:ckmbj9v4]
Gehrig/Robinson/Thorpe/Jackson Quad - [phil:ckmbj9v4]220770033588[/phil:ckmbj9v4]

2 cards that I regret selling:

I really like the jumbo Satchel Paige...it just doesn't seem possible for too many of those to exist.

That being said - [phil:17v7bdfc]200539772182[/phil:17v7bdfc] - go buy yourself another :)

It's funny, in the last couple of days I've been starting to look into getting one of those SP Joe Jackson bats.
Some great cards in this thread.

It's probably overpriced but this is a cool card [phil:1ily02wj]290465650435[/phil:1ily02wj]

Gorgeous, love the 3 color Clemente patch.

There is a really nice 3 color Clemente '04 Ultimate Patch up now - [phil:379uavnl]220769464321[/phil:379uavnl] - will go for big bucks I'm sure.

I used to own this card I pulled from my box I bought of Andrew (allincards) back in 2008
Sold for around 250. I wish I had it still since it was numbered to 2

A beauty.

Another guy I just thought of...Jimmie Foxx.


Another 500 HR pre-war guy, unfortunately, UD, Topps and others must have bought a gross of Jimmie's bats, as his bat cards abound...but this one is pretty cool with Greenberg.

Not exactly as rare or sought after as some of the other beautiful patches or one like the Satchel, but it's my favorite card right now. Still haven't decided if it is a PC or a trade piece although it is in my trade section ::facepalm::
