What Cards In Your Collection Would You Never Sell or Upgrade?

I had this Stan Musial "rookie" signed for me by The Man (not in person, but mailed to him). It's not worth that much in the grand scheme of things, but it's one that I never plan to let go:



Next isn't a card, but a ball I recently acquired. It's mainly a 500HR club ball with a few exceptions (Rose, Lemon, Sewell). I plan on trying to get more 500HR player autos over time. Just back from Richard Simon as well.




Lastly is a 1984 Topps Don Mattingly rookie. Value? Probably $5. But it was the first GOOD card I ever got when I started collecting back when Mattingly was HOT. I recently picked up my childhood collection from my parents house and there it was, still in the screw down holder I bought for it because I cherished it so much.


Not my card, but spot on.

I have two cards I'd never sell: a t206 cy young epdg that I bought when I was 16 years old, and a nadja card my sister bought for me (put up a watch list on ebay, and she ended up buying it for me).

Only one real "never sell" for me, the 69 Reggie Jackson I got in my first pack. It's poor-fair now, having spent a few years in the toybox with metal trucks and other stuff, but I can't imagine selling it.

There's a few that would be tough to let go of, The 74 set, that first one I really collected, a taped together T206 Beckley that was the first T206 I bought- A whole 20 cents!. And maybe a few others.

Jarrod,

I feel the same way about my '84 Topps Mattingly. It even has a bubble gum stain on the little portrait of Donnie Baseball making it basically worthless today, but I'll never part with it.

Best,
