Default Stuck on an Island

OK...so you're in a plane/ship etc wreck and you wash up on an Island. It's just you, Pam Anderson/Marilyn Monroe/etc etc, you're IPOD with all your music (and it's solar powered) and one piece of memorabilia from your collection. Miraculously, it will never fade, chip, or get wet...it's yours to look at for as long as you live. What piece would it be?

From a practical standpoint, I'd take my Ted Williams autographed rod and reel.

A Ted Williams fishing pole.

Ms. Jolie gets cranky when she's hungry.

But I'm too old for Angelina. She'd kill me in a week. What a way to go!

i would go with my Jesus Christ auto bought from Coach's Corner and hope i could summon the powers within to part the sea and walk home, I would have to send a plane back for Shakira (my choice of females) as she wouldn't be able to walk after this big fella got done with her.

My piece would be Halle Berry.
My item would be the catwoman suit she wore.
Forget the raft, why would I want to go home?

Didn't they put the Ted Williams name on stuff like ....Boats and oars as well?

But yeah, if the rest is perfect, why leave?

Stuck on an Island, for the rest of my life... I'd have to stick with Grace & Gehrig.

Great ideas all.
I love the Rubber Soul album. I can think of a few others I would like as well.

Jimmy,
Gehrig is a stunner, but I'm not sure I'd have a lot of time to look at it with our other items on the island as well.

And yes, I would bring the love of my life, my wife, as well.

Mark, I don't think your wife will believe that Halle Berry in a Catwoman suit is indigenous to the island
How about throwing this curve in to the mix...let's say you're on the island alone but you have a choice of getting off the island but never being able to purchase another piece of memorabilia, or staying on the island alone the rest of your life but somehow able to order and receive any piece of memorabilia that's available for sale...as much as you want for the rest of your life? Which do you do?

Mike,
I can hope the wife would buy it!

I don't think that question can really be answered by anyone, because over the years our taste changes. Even the most beautiful picture, card, autograph, or piece of memorabilia would get a bit boring to admire over time. i think a big part of the drive of collectors is the hunt. The frustration of searching hard for the last card in the set, followed by the, yes...I'll say it, ecstasy, of finding and acquiring the item is all part of the experience. Then once you complete the set you now have to move on to a run of sets or, in Jimmy's case, a run of companion pieces.

Upon reflection, I'm not sure I would take anything with me, because it would just serve to remind me of what I am missing. Like Tom Hanks, I'm afraid I'd be talking to "Wilson" or Babe or Lou, etc.

I also think our passion for this stuff would fade somewhat without others to share it with. The friend and fellow ship of places like this board are part of what makes this fun. On an island who would I show my one item to?

Sorry, just waxing a little philosophical today.
Mark

Figuring that the island stay will come to an end, and my fantasy partner will dump me when the dream is over...I'll go with these. Looks like Ted comes up big in the desert island memorabilia department
