I love all five of my 1953 Campy's but my favorite/most meaningful card is this 1956 Mantle. I received it on my 13th birthday in 1986.
This was just before leaving for a ball game and it was the one year my Dad was my coach.
My folks bought it from Kit Young's catalogue for $35 listed as EX.
About 10 years ago while researching for my book "Buying Back Dad's Cards" I was able to talk to Kit and tell him the story.
Next to the wife and kids this is what I would grab in case of a fire!
