My wife had been pestering me for years to get a gun safe for my toys. Then one day my house caught on fire. I remember standing there with a garden hose trying to douse the flames thinking I was in for the mother of all "I told you sos". Thankfully the fire department saved my collection and my wife got a new kitchen. I got a new safe. If I had to grab one thing I suppose it would be this ring as it is pretty much representative of the genesis of my life long love of baseball .

I'd probably grab my HOF book. It's signed by every HOF'er I've met since 1988. Many of them have since passed, so it would be impossible to replace.

I asked this same question a few years back to a long time sports card hoarder. His collection being in a older three story home, literally with only little paths through out the house to navigate. Cards being stacked up on the stair cases, etc. Even stacks of cards on the kitchen table one can see a Bill Russell RC.

I asked " What would you do in the event of a fire--His Reply " Jump in "

Now that's a serious collector!

He and Elroy Face were BFF's. Lots of stories that I am trying to verify. The ones my uncle told were mostly about covering both baseball and football NY Giants. Elroy had some scandalous stories that I think might have been "axe to grind" stories and not really worth repeating.
