What items would you take?

Ok, for some reason you have to get out of your house fast (Gem Graders comming over to crack and regrade your cards, alien's landing in your back yard, mother in law has decided to move in....) and you can only take 10 items from your collection, what ten items would you take (not personal photos and such)? It can be your 10 most valuable items, or ten commons that mean everything to you for whatever reason, all I ask is that you name ten things. I'm just curious to see what items mean the most to you.
Looking for Carl Willey items.

    That is a very tough question. You want 10 items from one's collection. Not sure if anyone can do that. Now if it was just
    10 things in general, that's a different ballgame.

    Wow, good question:


    1. 1978 rack pack with Rick Reuschel on top. The first pack I ever opened was a '78 rack with Reuschel on top. Don't ask me how I remember that.

    2. My 1957 set, assuming I can get them all. If not, the PSA 8 Mantle would be first in my hand followed by the Brooks Robinson RC.

    3. Johnny Bench autographed ball signed, "Catch Ya Later, Johnny Bench."

    4. Dale Earnhardt signed photo. Not a big NASCAR fan, but I obtained this myself from him about 2 years before he died.

    5. My one and only foul ball I caught at a major league game about six years ago, hit by Kenny Lofton.

    6. My 1963 Topps set, put together when I was 13 years old.

    7. My 1968 set.

    8. Framed tickets to the 2003 Fiesta Bowl when Ohio State won the national title. Actually this would be a lot higher on the list.

    9. Two boxes of vintage cards waiting to be submitted.

    10. My insurance policy!

  • Hey jimq112
    Who are the HOFers who signed your 1937 college all stars program? Is lambeau on there?
    Always collecting vintage basketball and any ABA memorabilia.
  • dboyz20 - Does that 75 rack have the same Morgans showing ? I think from collation it is not possible but wonder if it exists. A guy I know says he has a cello with a FF on top and bottom. (well unsure of bottom version). Said he pulled from the case. Curious

  • Yes ,both Morgans are on top.One of the Morgans is upside down.It is also graded 6 by GAI.

    << <i>Hey jimq112

    Lambeau was already running the packers, lombardi was a year earlier with fordham and the 7 blocks of granite.

    Al Wojciechowicz (lombardi's teammate) is the only HOF of the eastern team (the ones who signed my program)


    I got it for the cecil isbell auto, almost impossible auto of an early packers qb. The other names were a bonus. Sammy Baugh would have been a HUGE bonus for me.

    Awesome rack !!! I always hope to pull a rack with 2 FF versions showing.

  • Hey Ripkin collector.You never know.I never thought that I would see a 75 cello with Brett and Yount.And now I own one that is GAI 9 mint.I saw the one with 2 Morgans on Ebay and knew that I had to have it.
