Default If your house was burning down and you could only salvage one card...

If you could only salvage one card from your personal collection, what would it be? Photos please!

I recently picked up a second copy of this card because I love it so much. It is the cornerstone of my Jason Williams PC and my favourite ever card:

So what's the deal with Williams? His cards aren't cheap - much more than you would expect based on his performance. Cool card by the way - his noir card is really neat..

This first mistake was not having a safe that you can move to the window and flip outside to the ground.

I would be happy all my best cards are in a safe deposit box at the bank.

I’d just let the house burn down and collect insurance and call it a day. Maybe save the dog before the cards too.

Nothing can ever replace a human or a pet's life... material things come and go...

I'll make sure that my wife and our pets are safe first then worry about my cards...

Very practical tips haha.

The premise of the thread was to showcase your favourite card.

J-Will played with a style and creative flair that was ahead of his time. One of the greatest passers of all-time with wicked handles. I collect him because I loved watching him play, not because I think his cards will 10x. I remember watching his highlights as a kid, then going to practice and trying to imitate his no-look elbow pass.

Pretty easy for me - I lean this way because I pulled it myself.

Whatever sells for the most

Because if my house burns down (and all my other cards) I’m selling it and walking away from the hobby

Easy answer
