Posted By: <b>warshawlaw</b><p>excluding the T206 Wagner-Plank-Doyle, 1914 Baltimore Ruth, T210 Jackson, etc. I'm talking about that rare, maybe obscure card that you've always wanted and could probably afford if only it would show up.<br /><br />I'll start with the 1935 Pebble Beach Clothiers Lefty O'Doul.

Not to be outdone, the National Hockey League has announced that not only will several fans be beaten every period, but one lucky fan each game will be run over by the Zamboni.

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>Pet peeve time. I'm grumpy from lack of sleep and having to get ready to go to work, but why is that when someone poses a question like this, they can't follow the parameters? Of course there are a tons of holes in our collection we want to fill, but he asked for the ONE card you want. <br /><br />Think of it as if you had one wish to get any card that existed. What card would you waste that wish on?<br /><br />Jay<br><br>Last year there was a fistfight between fans and players at a professional basketball game.

Posted By: <b>john/z28jd</b><p>Pittsburgh K-bats team card.<br /><br />Heres another thing to think about,could you imagine if we actually got these wishes but the cards came out of someone elses collection instead of just thin air? One day youd go to look at your cards and where your favorite card used to be was a note that said <br /><br />"Dear John,<br />Leon chose this as his wish card so tough luck but you do have one wish of your own." love,Genie

Posted By: <b>Rhett Yeakley</b><p>Scot, Julie is right, there is no E254 Jackson. It was listed by mistake as a E254 for many years when in reality he only exists as a TinTop. Due to the fact that TinTops look so much like E254's, somebody probably mistakenly listed it with their E254's they had when compiling the checklist--and it was carried in the guides until this year (I think Lemke took it out). Thankfully, I will not have to get one of those to complete my E254 set.<br />-Rhett

Posted By: <b>tbob</b><p>Bill- Don't want to dampen your hopes but I am not sure how realistic the Halla card is. I have been searching for one for my 1911 Zeenut set for some time and everytime I think I find one, 6 people were there ahead of me. Very, very scarce...<br />Bob

Posted By: <b>Bob D</b><p>I'd probably want a high end 33 Goudey Ruth. For me that just means about Ex. No creases or scuffing, good color and registation. I have all four but they are all between poor and maybe good.<br /><br />I would then recycle my poor example into OBC.

Posted By: <b>Ben</b><p>An e107 HOFer. Sadly, I've had several golden opportunities in the past to acquire one and didn't pull the trigger. First for a low grade Mcgraw in trade which would have been perfect for me, but I was talked out of it by another collector (damn!). The second was a nice Flick and I held off for a collecting friend who also wanted it. With the way these cards have rocketed off the charts in recent times, I suppose my chances of getting one now are slim to none...but one can always hope can't they?
