Got any cards that you're holding for ransom?

Just curious if you have a card or two that you know player collectors would DREAM of having, but you just don't want to sell it.

Let's see some pics :)

I pulled the Chavez and am an A's fan, so I thought that was neat. I missed out on 1/3 because I forgot to remember the closing time on Ebay.

I don't have it handy, but have the 2005 BC Teixeira Super and another of the SP 1/1's. Kinda went through a Teixeira phase for some reason . . .

*edit* why do my pics take up the whole screen??

I have a 1990 Fleer Mattingly/McGwire CANADIAN card which I KNOW a couple of Mattingly and Mac fans need.

Problem is I cant find it eventhough I know for sure I have it somewhere. Weird thing is that I "kind of" collect Mattingly and for some reason never put it into my Mattingly stash when I bought it years ago.

Im constatnly looking for it so Itll come up (and its in a team bag with some other cards so itll stand out like sore thumb in a box of cards).

Very nice of ya!

I hope everyone understands the title of the thread to be fun. Not to try to capitalize a true "ransom" for a specific card aka Burbank style.

I get it I know I consider mine a true pc card so I don't feel bad when they want it and I won't sell it

i gotcha! i have some cards that would make other crawford collectors jealous, but theyre PC lol. nothing wrong with your post at all. other than that nothing really huge, only thing i can think of is an f-mart red refractor.

Lets seeee, heres a bunch of cards I've had big time offers on over the years. D-Lowe has barely any patches. The dual bat was my first GU pull ever, the winfield my first gu/auto. Eckstien were both pulled live on Beckett and was my first 1/1, Wainwright my first plate. Prozac wanted the vizquel for a few years till he got his own.

Sweet Flanigan, Rudzud. I'd figure I should take a break from Rox prospecting, to pick up a few of the Atlantis Autos. I'd figure Amanda Tapping's to be the most expensive?

Yeah, pretty much the main cast from SG1, though Michael Shanks autos are really up there. Flanigan autos were going for $120+.

God dang I loved Newbury Comics in Amherst, MA. It was MY stomping ground. No searchers (least, no good ones) so the product was always fresh. I buy one pack of Star trek, and pull a sweet sketch. Buy one pack of SG Atlantis, and pull a Flanigan. One pack of AG gives me the **** auto, one pack of BDP gives me the LeBlanc Red ref. Not to mention my 1/1's.

Is that worth anything??? I have the whole Fleer 1990 Baseball Canadian set?
