One of my first five prewar cards that I purchased, and of the 5 it is the one that really captured my attention (wow...a great looking old card of an all-time great hall of famer...how is that even possible for a kid like me!). Always at the top of my list, and this would be the one card I would cling onto if I had to part ways with all my other cards.

Unlike Adam though, I would make sure that I would not be clutching onto it during those final moments, as it will remain unslabbed, and rigor mortis might do a number on it.

I sold my Matty Black Cap after holding and cherishing it for maybe 30 years. That card was always my unquestioned favorite since it was my first prewar card (and a beauty as well).

Now I look at my Bender collection when this type of question comes up. I could pick any of my Charles Bender cards but I think this T205 Gold Border one has always been my favorite.

I like to slab stuff like that because I am a klutz.

I also have to toss this one in because I think it is one of the most beautiful cards ever made:
