So let's say we all have our collections displayed in our homes, no safes, safety deposit boxes or anything. Families and pets are not home and you have no other valuables in your home. A fire starts, you've already called 911 but you know you have time to swipe 3, AND ONLY 3, cards from your collection. What are they? Scans are a plus. People who post more than 3 pics will be publicly ridiculed and have their FCB points taken away....;)

Tough choice on choosing just three! Could we post three now and three later? :lol: I have quite a few similar valued cards in the higher end category, but I would currently choose these three due to the trades I made on the first two as well as the last one being my first big single card purchase:

2004 Bowman Chrome Felix Hernandez Gold Refractor RC Autograph /50:

I had the unfortunate opportunity to answer this hypothetical question just over five months ago. I grabbed four binders of vintage cards and my box of Butlers and left the rest. Thankfully the fireman were able to contain the fire to just the garage and I didn't lose anything.

That said, I couldn't pick just three.

Alex, yes but you'd be going back into the fire I suppose. Lol

I'd rather just pick up the box that my cards are in, rather than shuffle through them risking my life to find the three I want to save. ;)

I'd save:





Once those were out, since I only have time for 3, I'd head back in and get killed trying to save:




As well as some other honorable mentions

Ok feel free to ridicule since I posted too many :(

Man, why can't people just play the game. It is hypothetical. Jesus.

Because, if Josh Johnson doesn't play games, neither do I. All my stuff is boxed up, so I'd grab the boxes where they rest in.

For those not wanting to play, then simply answer the following: which 3 cards do you care about most in your collection?
