If you could ask Santa (or other provider) for only one card, what would it be?

Posted By: <b>Ed McCollum</b><p>Assuming we've all been good, what card would you ask Santa, or anyone, to bring you? I haven't been that good, so I know I'm not getting any cards this year, but if I could, I'd ask Santa for a Hindu-backed Ed Killian/Pitching t206. However, I think the elves only made one back in 1910 or 1911, and someone already got it, so I'm out of luck. But how about you?

I was pulling big time for a Red Sox - Cubs WS last year, but the Cubs collapsed, as did my Red Sox team. Perhaps trashing Bartmann so badly, and blowing up the baseball (which was clearly and well into foul territory) upset the alignment of the Universe. There ain't enough cookies and milk you can lay out for Santa that will change the on-going destiny of the Cubs.
