Anything Clemente related. My dad took me to the Hall of Fame the weekend they were opening the big Clemente exhibit (May of '98) and I was hooked. Sadly he passed this year, the cards mean that much more to me now than they ever did.

On the post-war side...of all the Mantles i do have..it has to be the 52 #311 Rc and the 51 Bowman as the favorites (but many fall right in line behind them)-BerkRoss, Dan-Dee, RedHeart, Oklah.Today
honorable mentions...my Hank Aaron RC picked up recently and all my football RC's like Joe Namath...he was my favorite in that era. along with Unitas, Montana, Payton.

Good Guy Jay Wolt said something profound that has stuck for a long time, something along the lines of "We don't own them, we just borrow them for a while".

There's certainly a handful of cards I'd be less likely to sell/trade than others, but I have no delusions of grandeur that I plan to hold any of my cards for decades unforeseen

Early on in my collecting career I believed in the "I would never ever sell." But I have learned that I can survive the sale of prized piece. The statement above sums it up precisely for me.
