What is the ONE card in your collection you will NEVER, EVER part with?

[Uofo2212]

I'd never part with any piece out of my Wooden collection......but even more so I will will never move my Steve Prefontaine autograph....period. Money is great and almost everyone needs it, but at what cost?

I've had a lot of good ones come and go, but I still have this one.

This one for me, it was my Dad's when he was a kid, he gave it to me at a show in the early '90's so I could have Mays sign it.

My PC Jordan's...but this is one of the main ones...

Are you sure you wouldn't abandon that to get one of these?

I bought the card in my sig at a Saturday show in Pembroke Mall (Virginia Beach), the day before my Dad's 45th birthday. The price guide had it listed at $17, and I paid $16 for it. Gooden was at the end of one of the most dominant pitching seasons in baseball history, and it was the one Gooden card Dad didn't have (he even had the Topps Tiffany Traded). I was able to get it signed for him in 1987 with a brand new Sharpie, in the Tidewater Tides clubhouse when Gooden was there for his first rehab start after his positive cocaine test in Spring Training. When Dad passed in October of 1994, I found the card in a tin box with some vintage cards he liked, about ten or so (including a 52 Bowman Ralph Kiner, a 55 Bowman Jim Honochick, and a 58 Topps Bill Mazeroski).

Some cards simply aren't replaceable.

I'm always jealous of you guys when threads like this pop up because I simply don't have a single card that I'd keep no matter what. I don't even really have a personal collection at this point. Maybe one of these days I'll have the resources to find some cards I'd never move.

This was an easy one for me. I have 2:
1984 Fleer Don Mattingly and my one and only T206 Bugs Raymond. Neither one worth much but the memories of getting them priceless.

Here's mine: My wedding invitation and card Will returned after my (then) fiance invited him to our wedding.

If I had to choose a regular production card, it would probably be my 1992 Donruss DK Super:

Great story and card. Thanks for sharing.
