If you could have one card.......

[mrvster]

Hello All

I'm sure this has been covered before, but if you could have/ trade your whole collection for one card, what would it be???

Mine is very clear.....as most of my friends know, I have been "chasing Wagner" as a kid, and maybe that will be the title of my book I write one day......when I first collected in the late 70's, I always read about the "mysterious" t206 wagner....i'm an average Joe in this world, and really became fascinated by this card, and have always wanted to touch one, let alone own one......I took a hiatus from collecting from age 16 about and started again in my mid 20's.....yes I bought all the 70's , 80's and 1990's and shiney bowman chrome rookies ect, but my friend Johnny D got me into the T206 set in the late 90's.....I soon after a few years dropped collecting the new stuff all together and got hooked on t206 freaks early on......as most of net 54 knows I grab a t206 freak/scrap where ever and when ever I can.....Put everything I could into them...now i'm quite older and am coming to the self actualizing part......I ABSOLUTELY love my cards cause most of them are quite unique ......point of all this gibber gabber.......altho my cards are basically my life(pretty sad yet true)....I have one life goal....MY HOLY GRAIL.....WAGZ.....I would trade my entire collection for one, and hope to some day to the right person.....My card I WANT and I hope the collector is listening, would be the WAGNER SCRAP WITH GHOST IMAGE on front......I dream about that card....that is my ultimate card to own(I would take a factory cut wagz also....But, the Wagner scrap is my ultimate dream and I obsess about it and absolutely LOVE that card.....PHEW


what is the card(be specific if you can,condition, rarity, ect.) would you want to own???your ultimate card??something you would consider trading all your cardboad candy for???that one of one item??

Peace

Chris,this is my 1st attempt to use this site, so please bear with me. I'm just wondering why the missing color Plank is so special for you?

I change my mind on this from time to time. At the moment it would be an oversized team portrait of the 1909 Detroit Tigers, but it would have to be a super-clear, well-composed amazing image.

Plank is my favourite card and I prefer print oddities, especially the ghostly missing ink examples. There is another Plank scrap with one layer of blue, however it is not a P150 back.

I "think" it will come to auction here soon but definitely out of my range, I enjoy my collection but would definitely do the trade.

A low grade T210 Joe Jackson. Trading all of my cards wouldn't quite cover the cost, unfortunately.

+1 on the Joe Jackson

I think right now if I could have one card it would be nice blue Baltimore News Ruth rookie. My favorites are always changing, but right now that would be my pick. I just love that card and you can't go wrong with a Ruth.

Best,

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.

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.
