A Question For You

If your house was on fire and you had to take one card, what would it be and why?

I know it's a horrible thing for something like that to happen, but basically all I'm trying to say is "What is the cornerstone of your collection, the one card that you would always try to keep. The card you show all people, collectors or non-collectors, that makes you feel proud every time you look at it?"

For me, although I bought the Derek Jeter jersey auto from Masterpieces and that is one of my favorite cards, this is my favorite card:

This is my 1956 Yankees Team Card. My Pop Popps gave it to me, which makes it completely awesome. This is one of the only cards in my collection that I drool over, a card that makes me happy. It has the faces of Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford, Phil Rizzuto, Billy Martin, Casey Stengel, and of course, Don Larsen, the year he pitched his perfect game in the World Series. The card sells low in bad condition but high in great condition, pretty sure it books from $150-250. My card is a little damaged but it's still really nice and it's never going anywhere.

So what is your card? Leave a comment below, and be sure to tell the stories. I'd love to hear them all. See Ya!
