There are a few.

I guess it's up to the agreed upon definition of rare/rarity. To me it first means number originally printed and then being able to acquire them. With that said, I think only 4 Ring of Three Wishes were ever printed and were only available to three volunteers and I think one for an auction.

To me the Ring of Three Wishes is the rarest / hardest token to find. But I think an argument could be made that an unused Arcane Recipe would be a pretty darn hard token to find as well.

Maybe there are others that think a few other tokens might be rarer (maybe the the Star Wars tokens?), and if so, I'd love to hear what they are!

One time I got a token from TD on error in an order - it was similar to an existing UR but had some minor difference.

TD had realized the error and contacted me and I sent it back.

I forget the details but I’m pretty sure that token isn’t in tokendb.

Hard to know how many tokens like that there might be - where an idea was cast aside but the token made it to the printer, but it was not intended to circulate.

I suppose one could question if it’s even a token at that point.

I once had a double struck token that had stickers on both sides - like one side was an uncommon and one side a common from the same set. Is that a token or a misprint? Either way it was unique.

We could make those all day with enough glue 😂.

I had quite a few this year that the stickers were badly misaligned. Otherwise nothing too egregious.

I have one with stickers on both sides. It was in a ten-pack. I kept putting it in the wrong trade goods until I realized it was stickered on both sides. I finally put it in a larger plastic case (like the CoA and Skulls have). I showed it to Trent and Jeff at Skullcon.

lots of bids and way more than a few speculations.

When you gonna let us know? Or is it being run as a mystery?

I might be blind, is an end date for the auction listed?

Not that I saw, but it does state “ more to come.” Most times his last for about a month

close date is listed.

Divine favor token...not in TDB. I know of 2.
Figurine power : DA bear...cursed soul bound...only 1 not in TDB
The Star wars Tokens..I only know of one in circulation
I think the 2006/2007 proof tokens might only been 4 sets made (one of each rarity when they were switching from woodies to Chips)

I hope one day to see them. The bear is soul bound but is cursed, is that what you meant ?

If the Figurine is a Chicago Bears Token.. DA Bears!!! That is my new favorite Token. I'm thinking since it's cursed it just has to be a Chicago Bears Token. My favorite team has been cursed now for a very long time...

a few more bids.
