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!
