Default Fire!!

You can only save one T206 new find piece and watch the rest burn. GO

A) 8 HOF complete lithograph stones & 2 printer scrap sheets
B) 1 uncut sheet of brown old mill players
C) Box of 15 proofs of non-printed players, 6 test Drum 460 commons & mint Doyle error blank back
D) Fresh off the press quality P150 strip of Wagner, Plank & Magie

And tell us why.

A) Owning two uncut sheets could answer several questions and I think would be quite valuable, plus the original stones would provide great insight into the printing process.

D - I couldn't watch Wagner & Plank burning in front of me.

C & D are a toss up, but I'll go with D.

D over C - but just by an inch. Wagner & Plank would outweigh the proofs etc - for me. Time to check the heat/fire rating on my safe....

Now that's a tough choice!

D would be the easiest to sell.

C Might be the most interesting, but I think there'd be a long struggle to get some of those accepted.

B Maybe the least valuable, but the most important of the easily portable items.

A Probably my choice. Risky, since there'd be I think 9-10 stones, and that would probably be right at my limit on how much I could actually carry. And very likely well over that limit. That much weight would really slow me down. If I had enough time to carry all those stones out, I could probably just grab the two sheets and the other 3 things. The stones would probably come through the fire ok.

I'm just not feeling decisive just now.....

All of that stuff would have been in the same box so rather than decide which cards to grab I'd take the whole box.

D, but can I throw myself into the flames in exchange for C? I'd be a martyr for humanity.

With my indecision tendencies, I'd burn with the cards while trying to make a decision.

C, but I'd look for the T4 Obaks of Vancouver and Victoria players, and wonder who actually started the fire.
