You are at the Pearly Gates (if you are so lucky) and you are allowed to take your favorite sportscard with you. One and only one.
What is it?
More importantly, why?
Please post an image of your card to make it more interesting for everyone.
Not sure if anyone's tried this subject before... "favorite single card".
Sorry if it's a repeat but should be a fun post.
Here's my favorite of all time... 1973 Topps # 50
<a href="http://s176.photobucket.com/albums/w179/tribefan44001/?action=view¤t=1973ToppsClemente.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w179/tribefan44001/1973ToppsClemente.jpg" border="0" alt="NFT - 1973 Topps Clemente"></a>
Why...
* Legendary player playing for my favorite NL team.
* The last card issued from his playing days and issued only months after his untimely death.
* 1973 was my first set collected and is still my favorite design.
* Rare game-action photo.
* Towards the end of that 1973 summer my cousin came to my house with his small stack of cards (we were both six years old). I had just about finished the set and had a huge stack of doubles. I traded him every card he needed from my doubles for that single Clemente card. I did this not because it was Clemente and he was worth it but because I needed it and he played for my Bucs! (I often wonder if I traded a Schmidt RC in that lot and whether my cousin still has his cards).
I actually have two of this card... the one I traded for, which is in awful condition (but still my favorite) and an upgraded one in my set.
If anyone has one that's clean, well-centered, etc. I'd love to trade for it.
