and tough, tough, tough

BUT, if it was just ONE, I guess it would be my 1911 Weaver Zeenut.

My 1911 OBAK Vic Holm cards. A great pitcher who was about to join the White Sox, but threw out his arm in the 21st inning of a triple header in which no one got past 2nd base. It was one of the last times he pitched. He was my Grandmother's Uncle, and I grew up to stories hearing about a "trading card" that was made of him. Thanks to a show in Seattle in 1998, I outfitted my entire family with an "Uncle Vic" card.

Post war is my 1958 Mickey Mantle card that was handed down to me from my mother, who taught me everything I know about the New York Yankees and the benefits of listening to baseball on the radio, living and dying with Penn State football, and life in general before her passing 7 years ago.

This card has such an aura to it. I think is shows better than the grade, too. The back is as clean as the front. It sure would look better in an SGC holder though. I want to cross it over, but read on SGC's website that they don't crossover cards valued at more than $500. Is my only option to crack it out and resubmit? Sticking a razor blade or a screwdriver anywhere near this thing would be scary for me.

SGC will crossover cards valued greater than $500 - I just did it. You just need to call or email Michael Goldberg so he can give you the cost of this type of service. Ty

Although I have more "iconic" cards (T206 Cobbs, Young port., for instance.) I'd have to go with the my 1921 Exhibit Babe Ruth. It's not a batting pose, but, c'mon, it's The Bambino!

Ahh, the youngster. One of my best cards as well -long before the beer and hotdog toxins took their toll.
Great image and I've got one out being slabbed right now. Thankyou Dan S!

Vintage - T 206 Iron Man McGinnity - my first T card purchased when I was 13-14 or so.

Modern - 1971 Kellogg's Lou Brock - I even wrote my name on it, I was so proud to get my favorite player in a trade with a friend as a kid.

It would be the card the got me started in collecting - a 1935 Goudey Babe Ruth. My father bought when he was 11 years old. It survived close to 30 years in a cardboard box (along with many other Goudey's) in my Grandmothers detached and unheated garage. My Aunt found it in 1974 while cleaning out the garage and my father gave it to me then. I'll never sell it.

Kevin -- you're the first person I've come across whose card came from "Granny's garage" and isn't an ebay scammer!

Don't be fooled. Joe would sooner sell one of his kids -- wait, I mean two of his kids -- before he'd sell that card.

my apologies for my overworked late night humor.
