Back To Basics. What is One Card You would like to have that you do not have

[hcv123]

1962 Kennywood "Pittsburgh" exhibits Roberto Clemente 5 of spades (i owned it and was talked out of it years ago). I want to own it again. Also a T3 Cobb - haven't owned one yet.

I guess this would be it for me. My only complete set is 1953 Bowman. Other full sets on back from there just aren't in the cards, as they say. But I do have a few desirable pre-war, t-cards, etc. This would be the crown jewel, but not likely to happen.

I had two Clemente's that I let go many years ago and to this day I lament my decision. I wished I could have these once again.

1962 Sugardale- Mine was totally free of stains and any yellowing; I didn't realize what I had until much later.

1968 Topps 3D- This was well before grading, it would probably be graded in Very Good to Excellent today, but it was the Clemente to have almost 40 years ago. I knew what I had in this case, but I needed the money for a non-hobby family expenditure at the time that was more important than the card.

Oh well.

N172 Doyle would be my first choice. There's a specific subset of 8 OJs that I'd like to put together, and most of them can be found for a few hundred dollars. Doyle not so much.

Maybe the best-looking uniforms ever.

I could name quite a few cards but I also want to be real and not name something that I know I will never be able get. For me, a 1968 Nolan Ryan RC in PSA 8. I almost picked one up at this years National. It was between that and another card and I went with the other since that's what my intended target was.

The 1968 card I did see of Ryan's was beautifully centered. What turned me off was that it was in an old holder and also seemed to have a tiny crack. The crack didn't seem to affect the grade however. Again, it was a tiny crack. If PSA was reholdering at the show, I would have possibly given it a shot but since they were backed up, they stopped taking all orders so it was an easy decision for me on the pass. Now if I had enough money for that card and the one I also picked up, I would have bought both for sure.

I will own it one day.
