Sentimental value vs. cash value
I thought it would be neat to see the treasures that a valued for much more than dollar value.
 My mom gave these to me for Christmas this year. My grandfather, "pap pap", got these at games he attended. A few of which he took my mom to when she was in high school. He has passed away a few years back. He loved sports and sharing them with his family. He was and is my hero. A WWII vet and a honorable man all around. Please share more of these stories as they, I think, make the hobby special. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Awesome pieces and such a great story behind them. One of my favorite pieces is from my grandfather as well--a rough common card from the 70s that he found while he was doing construction. I wish I had a picture as it is one of my most prized cards.

My avatar is an image of one of the first cards I got in a pack as a kid when I started collecting in 89. I was a Cubs fan and a #1 pick from my favorite team seemed like a big deal to me and even when Ty's career quickly fizzeled out I have never let go of the card. Even when I purged much of my childhood accumulation of junk wax I have kept this card. I doubt I could get a single penny if I tried to sell it, but its value to me is immeasurable and unexplainable.
On a side note, one of the first vintage cards I acquired was a 68 Topps Ernie Banks that I bought at a mall card show back in the mid-90s. I have been trying to turn my boys on to collecting and gave the card to my oldest for his birthday this fall. Then for Christmas I got him an autographed card of his favorite NFL player, Frank Gore. I hope maybe 25-30 years from now he will feel about one of those cards like I do about this card.
