The only items that I really hope to pass on are the items relating to our family's professional boxers. That material, which I have painstakingly accumulated, hopefully is going to pass down through the generations starting with my daughter. That plus playing Monty Python's "Always Look On The Bright Side of Life" as a sing-along at my funeral, are my only explicit requests. Everything else is just stuff--I enjoy it but everything is always for sale at the right price. Besides, once I'm gone I will certainly have more pressing concerns than to worry about what happens to my cards.

That bat sounds awesome, did you get it from a family member or something? I would love to see it someday! For me it would be a few of my early Roy Castleton items and Louis Sockalexis pieces. I hope to have one premium Sockalexis item to give to each of my kids someday. Now if my wife would stop adopting children (we have 6 kids under the age of 11!) I could have already done this by now!

I have an N28 Jack Glasscock that I could never sell. It was my first 19th century card and my dad bought it for me as a birthday present when I was 12 or 13. My dad won't be around forever but that card will and I'll remember the day every time I look at it.
I could also never sell my Miller Huggins T206. It was the first pre-war card I ever bought at a Gloria Rothstein White Plains show when I was 10 or 11. I remember hanging out with Little Ray Kelly, who lived in my town and was a friend of my grandmother's, and him telling me stories about sitting next to Huggins in the dugout. One day my grandmother mentioned to him that I collected old cards and he told me to bring them with me next time. I'll never forget the look on his face when I pulled out that Huggins. I was sure he was expecting to see some Griffey rookies. Last edited by packs; 03-13-2013 at 03:31 PM.

While I own a ton of cool stuff and some of it rare, i'm getting close to systematically letting it all go. It'll take a few years to move it all, right venue and timing and all that, with a goal of my heirs not having to deal with any of it when my time comes.
My wife and I own and run an antiques mall and when you're in this type business you tend to lose your emotional attachment to things. We have some family items that will get handed down, but nothing sports related, so I don't have a designated 'last to go'.

And to answer OP, my "last to go" would be my T-213 Type 2 Walter Johnson (Coupon Cigarettes "Made in New Orleans" back). I'm from DC and grew up liking/collecting Walter Johnson, and I met/got to know my fiancee in New Orleans, so there's lots of sentimental value. Also, it's one of the cards from the "Louisiana find" a couple years, and I love the story behind that discovery. I'll probably never get rid of my '49 Bowman Satchel Paige card, either, which I absolutely love. It was the first card I bought raw being unsure of its authenticity but using my best knowledge of the set to figure it out. Sure enough, SGC graded it
