Would you trade in your collection to see one specific game?

No. I would not trade in my collection to see a specific game. Not even a dozen specific games....

Bruce, you saw Mantle homer in the 1964 WS. I saw him hit one in the 64 Series, too. The one I saw was in game 7... my Cards won 7-5. Lemme think, the Cards are up on the Yankees 3-2 in World Series... yeah, that's it.

I saw game 7 in 1964, and 7 more WS since. Saw Brock's 3000th hit. Saw Rose's 4192nd hit. Saw Jose Jimenez win a no-hitter against Randy Johnson in 1999, and finally met Lew Lipset in person at that game, after talking with him a zillion times on the phone.

No, I don't think any of us here would trade our cards to see have seen a specific game. I'd trade in having seen Pete's 4192nd hit, ticket stub and all, for just one of the T206s I lack.
