What card is your pride and joy??

RE: What card is your pride and joy??
For me, it isn't a card. It is my HOFer autographed baseball collection, which includes Whitey Ford, Sandy Koufax, Nolan Ryan, and Warren Spahn, with quite a few others.

RE: What card is your pride and joy??
Im sure Im like a lot of guys on here, but my coveted favorite card is my 1989 Upper Deck Griffey RC. I started collecting cards as a kid @ 8 years old on 1988. I bought a few packs of UD and my friend pulled one in '89 but wouldn't trade it. I finally saved up $25 in 1990 (I think?) and bought one at a local store where I would buy my baseball little league equipment (they sold a few cards there to).

I still have it, its in perfect shape. Its one I'd never trade or sell. I had sold off 90% of my collection on 2008 and had to of course, keep the Griffey!

The lone Griffey rookie I pulled from UD when I was a kid got stolen when I was 13. I do have a factory sealed set though but it will never be opened. I'm being patient and trying to find a reasonable graded one on eBay or something.

And I know this last one isn't a card, but it took me forever to get a nice autographed photo of Peyton Manning!

This 1992 Classic Ken Griffy Jr Autographed card.

I pulled this card way back in 1992. My Grandmother was in the hospital at the time. She gave my $20 and told me to buy whatever I wanted. Well, after visiting hours, my parents and I went to the mall, where they had a Kay Bee Toy Store. They had a promotion that if you spent $15 on Classic Cards you received a numbered promo sheet. I bout 16 packs, as they were .99 each. And opened 15 of them on the way home and saved the last pack, because at the time I thought the packs were pretty cool. The pack sat unopened for about 20 minutes after we got home. I remember opening the pack and screaming, it was the first time I had ever pulled an autographed card, and with it being my favorite player it was even more amazing. Not long after I opened the pack, we received the call that my Grandmother had passed away.

Very cool card and interesting back story. Thanks for sharing.
