I'm always getting cards in the mail, and sometimes I see them for the first time and just think, "meh, whatever." It could be any number of things, it had a slight wrinkle that wasn't visible in the scan, or the color just isn't that great, or it just doesn't fill that little niche like I thought it would, or whatever. Sometimes, though, I get a card in hand and it just feels right. I've noticed that it isn't always on the highest technically graded cards either, it's just something about some cards that excites you and makes you want to tuck them away into the personal collection, no upgrade needed. Oftentimes it's the humblest cards that make you feel this way too, cards with genuine wear that still present well, nothing too sharp, or too off-center, just good, honest cards that make you feel that everything is right with the universe. These are the kind of cards that you would tuck under your pillow if you were a kid again, or as an adult you might tuck into your briefcase for luck. Here's three of mine that currently fit that description for me, and it would be great if you guys would post some of yours.
