JoannI guess I would.
I'd trade my entire collection to see one Detroit Tigers game from 1909. It would have to be in Detroit, and in June so it's not very hot (and after school is out, because locals know that for some bizaare reason the Tigers always do better after the kids get out of schoool - never count them out before about June 10 or so). It'd have to be a game they won and in which all of the regulars, especially Cobb, played pretty much the entire game. That game I'd trade my collection for.
I'd also trade it for any game in the 20's in NYC in which Ruth hit more than one home run. (Again, in June before it's too hot out, and preferably a Yanks win.)
And of course, in both cases the seats would have to be pretty good too! Gotta watch the fine print when it comes to this wishing business.
I think, though, that this reflects the extent of my collection as much as a desire to see a game. I could always simply start collecting again as soon as I got back.

(Jeff - really? If you genuinely somehow had the ability to go back and see Cobb play you'd only go $25K for it? Somehow I thought you'd go all out, since you are such a Cobb fan.)
