If your house caught fire, what is the one card you would NEED to save?

zef204

Mine is my 86f Jordan PSA 8. Not the most expensive card, but I have had it since 86, kept it in good shape and I have lived in Chicago for my whole life.

I would be interested to see what is your one saver. And I am not interested in you MasterCARD or GreenCARD so hopefully we can get some real answers

One card I'd need to save, heck that's easy...

My Visa card, so I could rent a hotel room for the night and perhaps buy more vintage cards with it!

Here's mine. Of course my house has to wait to catch fire untill I get it back from PSA, so I can save it. It was sent in with my last sub.

i will let you guys no this. My brothers house burned to the ground like 3 -4 years ago. total loss. the insurance company only gives you 1k for your sports stuff. well that all he got towards that.

So i hope all you guys have looked into insurance on your cards. bc i think you need a separte insurance to get your full value worth of them.

Just a heads up for you, im sure someone on these boards will no more then me on the insurance issue. everyone should check into that.

Knuckles

Provided my wife can get out herself with both cats I would take my Gretzky RC

I agre Knucks! This is on the couch right next to me right now:




If my fiancee can get them out, I will get the Jordan. If not, family and pets first.



Edited to add: This just became our holiday card!

SDavid

I'd save the cards my gave me from his personal collection when I was a kid. Yeah, I know that's more than one, but they're all in the same notebook anyway.

Zef, that is a cool looking dog, looks like a fox.

As far as the card that is a tough one, maybe my 75 psa 8 Larry Haney card, was one of the first hard ones for me to find.

Assuming my wife and kids can safely make it out on their own, I'd grab these first:

I just left my house about 2 hours ago to travel for the holidays. Thanks for the cheery message. I'm sure I won't think about this once while I'm gone.

I do have separate insurance on my stuff and for the price I highly recommend it.

I would save my Don Huston Rookie. It was the first card I ever got graded. Only a PSA 7 though

As for insurance on cards I have an umbrella $25,000 policy that covers my entire collection with a max of $300 per card. If you go above $300 you have to individually insure that card and it goes through the roof. It runs me about $120 a year for this. Even though my collection is Book Valued way above this the fair market is around 20-30 so I am covered.

Just as most people said......after the family and pets are safe, then mine would not be a card. Mine would be a photograph of the 1909 World Series. It is a panoramic photograph that you would find as a supplement in some newspapers for your home team. The photo is about 36 inches wide by 14 inches high and it has five sections. It shows both the left field and right field grandstands and the middle is the playing field. The field shows and reads "Cobb (Ty) at bat, Crawford (Sam) on deck and Jennings (Hugh) coaching". Across the bottom are two sections, one for Detroit (showing the above three HOF'ers) and one of Pittsburgh with Honus Wagner. This is the item I would need to save.

My guess is that it's a Shiba Inu
Do I win Zef??

These are my two angels!

1972 Fisk PSA 9. I am going to be buried with this card.

Good call though, she is a Shiba Inu.

I don't know if the 1973 Topps Comic is actually considered a card, but that would the item that would come with me. As far as cards go the 1968 Ryan Venezuelan rookie PSA 5 pictured below my signature line would also be at the top of my list to bring along.

After my family of course.

Hey Zef......how's that Shiba scream? I bet I could here it up here in the northern suburbs.

Cheers ! Wick

She doesn't do it often, but when she does you could probably hear it in Wisconsin

My first vintage hockey card and probably still my favorite:

Is he related to Berk?

yawie99

I hope those of you on the Beckett boards never let that guy live that down.

Knuckles

That's beautiful.. If you were my neighbour and both of our homes were on fire I would leave mine to go save your Art Ross

yawie99

Thanks, Knuckles! Grab some of those sigs on your way out, though.

ICE9

I'd save these two proof sets because I don't think I could replaced them. I think they're 1/1's as Topps changed the photos prior to production...
