From my childhood, it would be the only card that I have left: my 1970 Topps Super Roberto Clemente.
From my rebirth as a collector (2012- ), it would be a binder of cards that my wife purchased for me at an estate sale. The cards are worthless in terms of monetary value, but the fact that she purchased them for me is very significant. She puts up with my addiction er, I mean hobby and admittedly I spend too many hours in front of the computer looking at baseball cards which my wife has commented on more than once, dozens of times perhaps. With that being said I know that she purchased those cards for me out of love.
I will never part with the Clemente nor that binder of cards.
