If stranded on desert island--which one card would you want to have?

[GregMitch34]

The question of naming your top card, that you own, can be and has been asked in many ways, though often it doesn't get at what's your true favorite, with NO monetary considerations. For example, if asked which card you'd want to save from a fire (or a divorce), many would no doubt pick one that is worth a good deal, not one treasured or cherished for other reasons, such as appearance or sentiment. So my question puts all of that aside since YOU ARE STUCK ON A DESERT ISLAND, and you ain't getting off, so no eBay or BST or REA.

So pick just one and don't fudge it by picking a whole series or group or choosing 14 because you can't just decide. I wonder if someone will pick the one with the most writing on back so you'll have something to read over the next few years on that island.

I would pick a card in the shape of a life boat.

I know you said no sets, but a guy has to play solitaire, right? :D

[Brian Van Horn]

I think if I am stranded on island, my train of thought would not be on a baseball card. It wouldn't be a good place for storage :D

A 1987 Dave Eiland Oneonta card. The Chris Berman nickname of Dave "No Man is An" Eiland, will amuse me in an ironic sort of way and Oneonta is fun to say.

Any card in one of those giant Beckett holders would suffice. It would be just enough room for two people to sit on it and float away.

Which one takes the longest to burn?

Seems like it would be good to have a Mutoscope card, and it might as well be "Short on Sails"...

Jamie Moyer's last card. By the time I got through the stats, somebody would be by to pick me up.

Take Care,

not my card

This one has a lot of nutrition in it due to the sticky back.
I would suck on it for a couple days before I actually ate it.

[BigRedOne]

I think I would take this one. It would make me more determined than ever to find a way off the island.
