Top 10 Bucket List

ClockworkAngel

Hopefully we can have a nice discussion without any anger management issues

So we all have cards we want to get to complete or add to our collections. But then there are the cards that we want to someday have before we die. The cards that seem so far away right now but we can always dream of getting when we win the lotto

So here are my top 10:

1980 Bird/Magic Rookie PSA 10
1952 Topps Mantle in PSA 6 or greater
1968 Topps Nolan Ryan PSA 9

Good point about the Lotto. If I won the lotto, I might as well make all mine PSA 10's.

Maybe more like a somewhat realistic list we'd like to own someday if life treats us well!

I also enjoyed this thread and all the lists.

Am I the only one that would want a T 206 Wagner PSA 8?

I also find it kind of funny that, if money was no object, everybody would not want the highest graded card of there selections!

Hopefully, many others will add their lists, it is interesting seeing how different the lists are.

I love TNP's list with all those Dodger items. I once completed that T 206 Dodgers or Superbras team set, but they were all ungraded & not high quality. I loved having the Zach Wheat rookie.

So everybody, post your list and win a vacation for two to Pahrump, Nevada!!!

I honestly would still probably stick with mid-grade cards even if money was no object. I don't care about high grade. For me the cards were made to play with, not sit in a box and collect dust. Dinged corners and creases happened because they were enjoyed. Holding those cards allow me to connect with another generation. It's hard to hold a PSA 10 and imagine that a kid actually enjoyed the cards.

That's my opinion, anyway.
