Anyone else treasure a worthless card?

Not a worthless card but my Father purchased a 1965 Topps Koufax at a card show he and I attended probably 20 years ago. My Father was a big Dodgers fan. He passed away in Dec 2001 and months later when my Mother found this card she called me to inquire whether I wanted it. Of course, I said yes. Below is the card. I have contemplated getting it graded but I have decided that it is best left unslabbed just as it was when my Father purchased it. It helps remind me of him and many good times we had.

I have six cards that have no value but hold sentimental value to me. These are the six cards left over from my childhood collection that have actual writing on them from a ten year old me!

I have had hundreds of thousands of cards in my collection over the last 40+ years and I still have no idea how in the world I hung onto these but I am sure glad I did.
