Here is one I've long thought was a truly great must-have:



To me, it is one of the most beautiful cards Topps ever made.

In the late summer of 1988, my dad and I walked in to a LCS with an unopened box of 1988 Fleer baseball - then a hot item as it was rumored the print run was going to be limited. We were looking to sell or trade the box.

It was then that I spotted the 1955T Ted Williams in their showcase. It was a beautiful card and we did not have any other Ted cards at that point. After some haggling, we ended up trading the wax box straight up for Ted. A whole box of cards for a single card.

It's one of the treasures of my collection.

Fun reading your trade story for the Williams. And nice to hear your must have card is a card you actually find honestly very attractive - means so much to the joy of collecting to own what you consider is a great looking card. The '55 Williams is indeed a very eye appealing card.
