If you could only have one...

I had a conversation with my CEO today. When we exchanged pleasantries, he asked if I had any plans for the weekend. I told him about the show at Valley Forge and my intention to attend.

As it turns out, he collected baseball cards in his youth. As we made our way through the conversation, he eventually asked me what card was most "special" to me.

Without hesitation, I let him know that my father and I built a set together when I was a kid. While the members of this board might not relate to the specific set, which was 1993 Donruss, they should understand the general idea.

So, I ask you the following:

If you were stranded on a deserted island...no Internet...no phones, no lights, no motor cars...not a single luxury...what one piece of cardboard collecting would you keep?

Best regards,

Eric

Alongside her, what would you keep?

George Raft
Derek Carr
Refrigerator Perry
Tom House

Because I personally lack any sense of reality , I veered off the question...I think OP was trying to get us to choose a cherished cardboard piece to keep us occupied on the island.
I'd like to have the 1971 Topps FB set so I could memorize each player, each of their stats and the witty Topps Bios on the back.
Oh wait, I already did that

Ok, give me one of my 1927 York Caramel E210-2 Lou Gehrig cards. I won't need both if I am on a deserted island , that would be crazy.

My exhibit collection. And as long as we are taking women from classic tv shows as they were too, I'll take Julie Newmar; she's purrfect:

Sorry, I'm from a job where we hated our boss.

For me, it'd be the only one from my youth. 1968 OPC Bobby Orr.

Killjoy was here.

Forgive me. None. Cardboard and deserted islands don't get along. Again, sorry.

Who'd want Ginger? I'll take Mary Ann (Dawn Wells, Miss Nevada, 1959).

The biggest one I could find for kindling purposes.

I have a friend who manages Dawn. Have met her a couple of times and had the good fortune to attend one of her birthday parties. She's a nice lady who has held up remarkably well.
