I have many cards that fit that definition, in all 4 sports, but this one stands out (sorry, not bball)



It was essentially my birthday present this year back in January.

My first big hit in the 90's and was included in my first submission to PSA.

I don't believe I have a card that is absolutely untouchable. Anything can be had for the right price. As far as the one with the most sentimental value, it's this one...

My first card. Gave up being hall monitor or attendance-to-the-office kid for ONE WHOLE WEEK in the third grade for it.

1992-93 Fleer Drakes Mitch Richmond

Got it in a box of Devil Dogs and it was the first pack of cards I ever opened up. I remember getting some of the packs in school too from my friends. They couldn't figure out why I was more interested with the cards than the snacks, lol.

1993 MJ All Defensive Team. My late father pulled that card. You couldn't have it for a million dollars.

Such a low population gold label for a Jordan 86 star. Great action shot of the patented Jordan fall-away jumper.

One of my favorite cards of my collection. It has great eye appeal for a PSA 5

I have quite a few cards that I wouldn't get rid of but these are my favorite two! You never see the triple auto come up for sale and when you do most have streaky or faded auto's. The Lebron was my dream card since I knew that I would never be able to afford the exquisite rookie. I was lucky enough to land one many years ago and in an old BGS label!!

It would definitely have to be a card I pulled at the time of the actual product's release, which is just another way of saying "when I was a kid." It just means more. Bought at most 2 packs of Z-Force and pulled this, funnily enough from a card shop that eventually closed down because the young guy working the counter was pack searching for years. He would literally reseal packs. Lol.

Being a huge Rocky fan since I was a 4, 33 now. Happy to find this one... First card in the Rocky II set... Topps 75th 1/1 and also the highest graded (only 2) of all the topps 75th autos he signed.

For me...

- My first pulled auto of any sport (still remains one of my favorite players ever)


- The first basketball card I ever fell in love with. It's one of the cards I've held onto the longest


- I just love this card, straight up


- Probably the second-most untouchable of the untouchables..



- and this is the most untouchable of the untouchables. I had wanted this card since 2004 when the set first came out and I saw this card in Beckett and knew I had to get it. Eventually bought it earlier this year. It was 12 years in the making but I finally got it


I also have a Triple Threads Johnny Unitas/Raymond Berry dual auto booklet #1/1 but don't have a picture of it

Has to be this one for me. I have always been a big Spurs fan and loved watching David Robinson when I was growing up.

In this hobby, I've always gone with the notion that everything has a price....but this one would have to have a crazy number before I'd let it go.
