I could name quite a few cards but I also want to be real and not name something that I know I will never be able get. For me, a 1968 Nolan Ryan RC in PSA 8. I almost picked one up at this years National. It was between that and another card and I went with the other since that's what my intended target was.
The 1968 card I did see of Ryan's was beautifully centered. What turned me off was that it was in an old holder and also seemed to have a tiny crack. The crack didn't seem to affect the grade however. Again, it was a tiny crack. If PSA was reholdering at the show, I would have possibly given it a shot but since they were backed up, they stopped taking all orders so it was an easy decision for me on the pass. Now if I had enough money for that card and the one I also picked up, I would have bought both for sure.
I will own it one day.
