Untouchable Vintage baseball items?

Do you have a card or other vintage baseball item you like so much that you won't sell it? (except for a price beyond what anyone would reasonably pay). I'll start for R3: everything he currently has on ebay. hahah. But seriously, probably only my t206 Jacklitsch proof and my 1800's left-handed catcher cabinet, though neither is worth a huge amount.

forgot my first t206: Dan McGann portrait. Definitely can't sell that one. I have sold most of the valuable cards from my childhood collection, saving only a NM '73 Munson which I had SGC slab.

1933 Goudey Jack Quinn that was my first Pre-War card I bought as a kid (from Larry Frisch!). It wouldn't sell for much, so there's no incentive to sell.

1909 T206 Harry Pattee (horizontal/rookie and only card, only issued in 1909) that I have framed with Pattee's autograph. Got the as a present from my dad (got the autograph years later), so will keep for sentimental reasons. With the signature is worth a bit more than the Quinn.

1951 National Girl's Baseball League Championship ring. Would sell, but the price would have to be convincing.

With the items I really really liked, I used to offer them for sale but at a price high enough to make it worth my while. After a bunch of these sold anyway, I assumed I must have good taste.

My 5 Jackie Robinson Homogenized Bond Breads (I hope everyone knows that Homogenized Bond put out 2 sets in 1947: one with 13 cards of Jackie Robinson, and one with all sorts of superstars which isn't very interesting.

My Old Judge Radbourne (even if I do get the portrait), my Mayo Nichols.

My 1882 Providence Grays Harper's Woodcut; my 1885 Baseball Champions Harper's woodcut.

My 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers World Series Press Pin.

Mark Macrae once told me, "I'd never sell my Jackie Robinson." Forgot to ask him which.

I will probabaly never part with my 1971 & 1972 Topps sets from my childhood. I am planning on selling off my high grade hi # 71s, since the condition of the rest of the set is actually cards from when I was kid and the most of the hi #s came from a vendor case and not actually cards I got as a kid.

Only vintage card that I still have from early days of collecting in the 1980s is a Old Judge card of Carroll /St Paul. Was part of my OJ collection that was all Minneapolis and St Paul players except for the card of Harry Stovey. Thinking about trying to get all those OJs back again.

My first card show purchase, an incredible looking (except for the centering) 1956 Jackie Robinson, was sold earlier this year. My first t-card, a t205 Matty, is long gone.
