If your house was burning down and you could save ONLY ONE of your BASKETBALL cards which one would it be? AND WHY that one why is it so special to you.

Feel free to post a pic of your favorite card.

REMEMBER JUST ONE!!!:appl:

This almost happend to me in San Diego. The Firestorm was 5 miles away and moving easy as the speed of light destroying everything in its grasp.

I loaded up the back of my SUV with my pictures, big screen TV, LAPTOP, CPU, CDs, and of course my cards. Couldn't decide what to leave... I had 12 boxes (shoebox type) loaded into the back seat. They are the boxes that can hold toploaders or onetouch holders when they are wrapped in team bags to protect the case from scratching.

After the Firestorm a few years ago, I realized that I had to have proof of what cards I owned... so I started scanning every card over $20. I also took pictures of me holding some of them, so Allstate can't say I copied the scan from the web.

Luckily my house and our niegborhood was saved. Thank god!

Don't even have to hesitate, and should be self-explanatory:

Too hard to choose for me... Probably one of my 2006-07 SPGU C.J. Miles By The Letter Patches, or one of my Amare Stoudemire Printing Plates.

For me its kida stupid but its this doug christie auto in my bucket. Moving on to exquisite now but still will chose this card. Reason being he is my favorite toronto raptors player if all time and it took me 9 months to find this card and was willing to pay anything for it.

It's a tough call between the following two for me because they are my best pack-pulled cards. I haven't bought packs of cards in a long time, but I pulled these from $30 boxes at my local Shopko 5-6 years ago (Shopko was the only card carrier within 50 miles of my home as a kid, so bought cards from there a lot). I think I would go with the DiMaggio/Mantle though because Kobe autos are much easier to come across now.

I'm someone else who received a Jordan RC as a present in the early 1990's and I would save it if I could.

Here's mines. A pack pull that was then graded. Too bad one of the corners was messed up, otherwise, would have received a better grade. And no it's not for sale nor trade.http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r158/tboculosis/dwayde1.jpg
