Alright Luke, no one else is playing along so I will. Never really thought about my favorite cards much - there are so many.
1st card: Your absolute favorite card
1923 M114 Sporting News Premiums New York Yankees - as a die hard Gehrig Fan, this is the earliest card/premium that shows Gehrig, two years before the W590 and 1925 Exhibit. Not a card per se, but I think premiums count. This would probably be the last item to leave my collection even though it probably isn't worth that much:
2nd card: A card that has sentimental value to you
When my brother-in-law was courting my sister, he let me go through and inventory all his cards (which was fun to me as a high schooler). Afterwards, he gave me a few cards to keep for doing it, including this 1968 Topps Superstars. He died tragically about ten years ago, and I had BVG slab three of his cards up with special pedigree labels - this one for myself, and two others for his daughters who were 8 and 6 when he died:
3rd card: Your favorite card with a value of less than $50
Totally cheating on this one, as the value is probably like $800, but I technically paid $50 for it (long story I won't get into). This is a hand drawn sketch card of Wolverine by an uber-talented artist named "Nar!". The intricate detail is incredible, and it will always be in my collection, even if I liquidated everything else. He even painted the back of the card in white-out! Sorry, not sports and not pre-war, but certainly one of my most favorite cards ever.
