The card you wouldn't part with?

Or another words if you had to give up ALL your cards but you could keep ONE

(and no "It's between this one and that one" answers)

What card of yours would that be???? (and why, if you'd like to elaborate)

And the cards that go with it

  • 1954 Johnstons Cookies Hank Aaron PSA 8, greatest raw find of my collecting career...at a yard sale no less

    My 1968 Venezuelan Nolan Ryan PSA 5. I don't think I will ever find a higher graded one.

    Probably the one card that I would never part with would be my 1973 Topps Pin-Ups Johnny Bench psa 8. A very hard to find test issue. I could never replace it. For one thing PSA no longer grades these anymore.
  • Good topic.
    I might keep others for sentimental reasons but the one I'm proudest of is 1967 Topps #467 Jim O'Toole. I got it raw on eBay for $3, sent it to PSA and it came back a 9 (one of eight at the moment, with none higher). This is the only vintage 9 I've had graded myself and as there aren't any yard sales featuring baseball cards here in Ireland, I'd say it's the biggest bargain I'll ever get. SMR at the moment is $70 but in practice it would probably go higher. And no, it's not for sale.image

  • It used to be my PSA 5 1938 Goudey Joe Dimaggio. Since, I just bought season tickets to the Panthers, now it's PSA 9 Florida Gator Emmitt Smith card. How sad is that!

  • Wow!!!! Nice responses!!!

    Always cool to see the diversity of what we all collect.

    Thanks to those who included the scans also because those are some cards that I've never seen

    My psa 8 1952 Bowman Large Sammy Baugh, very tough to find in 7 + grade. My favorite
  • nearmintnearmint Posts: 1,111 ✭✭✭
    Probably this one:

    If I let it go, I don't think I could ever get it back.
  • Tough call - but probably this one...

    If I'm only going to have one card left it may as well be Ruth!
    And did they get you to trade,
    your heroes for ghosts?
  • imageimage

    Without a doubt, of my Kaline cards, it would be

    1964 Venezuelan Kaline #250 PSA 8! The only one and the highest graded of ANY Venezuelan of that year!

    Money is your ticket to freedom.
  • So many big starts...a few personal favorites.

    Mine is more the latter

    1967 (of course)

    Cleon Jones PSA 9 MINT

    One of 2 favorite players, the one I have in a 9.
    Now if someone wants to make a deal for a Norm Cash PSA 9 from 1967 my answer might change image

    ebay:1967topps
    1967and 1973 Topps baseball wantlists (any condition) welcome. Once had the #14 ATF 1967 set. Yet another collector like skylaneflyer, gimel1 who made it to the completion of 1967 only to need the money more than the company of 609 close friends.
    Looking for oddball Norm Cash and Cleon Jones stuff, and 1956 team cards

    Everything has a price - although some cards in my collection have a much higher price than others.

    That said, my budget is generally too small to say that I wouldn't accept an outrageous offer for any of my cards, as there is so much more I would love to collect and build.

    I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.

  • so far in my collecting years, I would have had to say my 1955 AA PSA 9 Jim Thorpe.

    Unfortunately though, and now fortunately, a house I thought was just a little bit better of an investment for the time being.

    One day in the future, I will hope to pick up one of those beautiful Goudeys of my namesake. image

  • Tough call....I have narrowed it down to my favorite 3:

    would love to see the kaline-I collect Brooks Robinson-I have all his cards except for the 67 punch out and the 67 and 68 topps disc.Are you a crazy collector like me? I completed all the Venz. Brooks-they are tough-the hardest one was the 1972 stamp sticker.Your 64 kaline must be beautiful,especially with the Black back-hope to here from you-maybee you can look for brooks and I can look for some kaline for you at local shows- Scott in NY
    by the way I grew up in Baltimore and my best friends dad went to southern high with kaline! He said he was awesome at every sport!
  • QUITCRABQUITCRAB Posts: 1,016 ✭✭✭
