Collecting the Rare Ones Pt. 1 May 2021 What makes a card really collectible? Certainly, scarcity is reflected in price, as we've seen card prices exceed $1000.00. Card printings have varied  from multiple issues of 250,000 to 1000 or less. It seems that particularly valuable are limited printings from the major airlines, but issues from smaller obscure airlines are equally appealing to me.      There is no doubt that values and degree of collectability are subjective, and that these examples don't begin to include all of the priceless cards that have been issued over time. But following are some of my most valued, and  some kindly shared by other collectors. Album by John Schmidt. 1 - 79 of 79 Total. 1913 Visits.
