What card(s) is a must have in your collection?

[Leon]

This is always a difficult exercise for me since I don't do sets and many of my cards are my faves. I don't collect 19th century anymore and will leave out 2 great ones, 1869 Peck and Snyder and the N690 Phili team card, and go with these....but there are so many others it's barely fair to them.......a true addict, I am...

Leon,
Everybody has those. Show us some stuff that's tough to find.

Well Jim...as far as I know all of those above are unique except maybe the Wagner D381 w/coupon.....I would guess there are another few of those somewhere.....though I don't think I have seen another with the coupon and I have seen a few without it....here are a few more that I have never seen more of....but then again, this is what I collect....so it's sort of a "shill" for me....

Mine is far more humble, I'm afraid.
"cornerstone cards" I already have:
T200 Cleveland SGC30
T200 Pitt SGC60
T206 Lajoie w/bat SGC50

Cornerstones to hopefully come some day:
a Goudey: Ruth, Gehrig, Greenberg, Foxx
a T206 Mathewson (portrait or dark cap)
PCs with solid quality image of Cobb, Wagner and Johnson

Postwar:
1948 Leaf Musial
1954 RCs of Aaron and Banks
a quality Jackie Robinson

Clearly, I have my work cut out for me!

This is one that I don't think will ever leave my collection unless I have a chance to upgrade it.

Tough call. The cards which will have to be pulled out of my cold, dead hands:

I think you speak to most of us collectors when talking about are per-war cards. I know most of us collectors would put up a pretty good fight to keep are cards.
