I like having a collection. I wouldn't trade it for a single card, no matter how much I wanted it or how valuable the card would be.

1960 Armor Hot Dog Coin Bud Daly. I've long been of fan of these coins, and this is the coveted rare one.
Duly note that I didn't cheat and pick a card that I could resell and buy a BMW. Last edited by drc; 12-08-2012 at 01:33 PM. |

I agree with Brian, I'd rather have a collection as opposed to one thing worth more or equal to the collection. I like looking through cards, not just staring at one
I do want an 1887 Kalamazoo Pittsburgh team card, but there is no way I'd trade everything to get it and some cards I wouldn't trade. It took me forever to get an Old Judge card of Alcott on Mansfield, can't see me parting with a card that was on the top of my realistic wantlist for near a decade. If the trade presented itself, I might consider it, but the KBats is more like a lottery dream and I don't play the lottery, so I never really think about buying one. I dont know if it would be better than knocking off a card that I looked for everyday for ten years and even missed twice due to unreal prices. Besides, I have a nice scan of the KBats on my computer, that's good enough for me for now.

I am with you Brian. However, if I could only have one card it would be a BN Ruth. At least I wouldn't get too tired of looking at it.

Baltimore News Ruth. Favorite card of the best player ever, simple enough.

Another vote for the Baltimore News Ruth. The T206 Wagner would be next since it's such an iconic card in the hobby.

I'm with Brian and Leon that I don't think I'd get rid of an entire collection for one card. However, to play along, I'd probably go with a high grade T206 Wagner.
