I have a number of high end cards, and have had my share of cool pulls over the years, but there is one card that I would keep until the bitter end: ![]() Yes, it's a PSC, but it was exactly what I wanted, and it's such a great piece of art, and even better it is from someone who is my friend. It may not be a high dollar card, but it's priceless to me! ![]() ____________________ "The problem, I'm told, is more than medical." | |||

I'd have to say my Decision '92, 1000-Stripe Colin Powell card made by AAA. This is 1 of 18 1000-stripe cards I've collected over the years, but it's by far, my favorite insert card. ![]() | |||

My number 1 card is a David Wenham auto from lotr The Two Towers. It's the first auto I pulled from a pack. It was from a K-Mart that was going out of business. The box I pulled it from was missing about 3 pack, the packs were 25% off. Being a fan of the movies I bought them.Long story short, I still has the card and another thing that makes it so special is when I met my now wife was a big fan of lotr,s. I gave her the card in a fram I made, that said" I Love You. She thought it was so cool and she didn't know about non-sports cards. So in closing she still loves the card. I still buy cards, and she still supports my card collecting. It's a beutiful thing. | |||

Star Wars Series 2, Card 32A, The Millenium Falcon Speeds Through Space!. I was missing this card for a full set. I tried to get it but couldn't find someone to swap for it and couldn't get it in a pack. However, and I know this is actually quite hard to believe, but I found this card lying by the kerbside one day on my way home from school on an overcast day. It was a bit battered, a little creased and slightly dirty but I can remember the excitement I felt in finding it. Even though this was roughly 33 years ago I still remember the incident vividly. I now have some fantastic sketch cards, autographs and pieceworks however this one card has probably made me the happiest that I have been in the hobby and it cost me nothing at all. ____________________ Any airsofters out there ? | |||

Kirsten Dunst autograph from Small Soldiers. It's not my most valuable, but it certainly means more to me than any other card I have. | |||

My Gillian Anderson autograph from Inkworks' X-Files season 6/7 set. I could never afford the card, but about a year after the set came out, I saw a dealer selling cheap boxes on eBay (don't remember the exact cost, but I know it was under $30 shipped). I thought it would probably have a low end auto, but I figured why not? Well, I pulled Gillian -- I was home alone, and had to start calling people (none of whom cared) to tell them about my pull. That can never be topped for me, unless I end up pulling an Anna Torv auto from the upcoming Fringe set ![]() ____________________ "For a universe that's supposed to be half Chinese, Firefly sure doesn't have any Asians." -- The Uncomfortable Truths Well | |||

I certainly do. It's going nowhere as those Star Wars cards were my first experience of card collecting as they were for many others I suspect. ____________________ Any airsofters out there ? | |||

So I have been thinking about this for a while now, and after going through my cards more than a few times I have decided to go with this one. ![]() It's funny that he is in a monkey suit.. but hey.. it's his signature.. and I have it.. I do have quite a few more expensive cards than this one but this card is signed by the great man himself.. Charlton Heston.. I am a big fan of Charlton Heston.. he was one of the greatest leading men ever.. | |||

Some cool additions since I last checked in! dscardzguy - do you have a picture of your Colin Powell Stripe card? I have literally no idea what it looks like! justm - your Star Wars 32A was just the type of thing I wanted to hear about: something with some real meaning to the collector irrespective of value. One of my most prized cards remains to this day a Tomorrow Never Dies P2 Promo. Common, easy to obtain, but it was the first card outside of base sets I came accross and belonged to the first Bond set I ever collected. I had no idea what it was and it set me on the path to the wider world of trading cards. Why was it numbered with a 'P'? What's a 'Promo Card' etc. ![]() I wish I still had the Star Wars cards I tried to collect as a kid by the pack but its great to hear that you were sensible enough to keep yours. Cool story. Jason00 - that's some good luck, many would love to have that card. I always wanted a Gillain Anderson auto and when the X-Files cards were still current I could never have afforded her autograph so pinned all my hopes on pulling her autograph from the one box of X-Files: Connections I bought, and as luck would have it I pulled her auto redemption!!! So I know just how you must felt, although I'd still say yours is the nicer of the two. drofdarb - even in the monkey suit, that's a great card. Heston was a real Hollywood legend and the original POTA film is a classic. Nice signature too. Would love to hear more from people on the boards - EVERYONE has a favourite!!! ![]() | |||

No, you've never said that about my Brosnan as I've never posted it before. I'm always hesitant to post cards people consider high end as I don't want to look the "show off" but I couldn't start a thread like this and show something else. Frankly this card is so far out of my price range I cringe knowing what I paid for it, but every hard saved penny was spent on something I had wanted for so long and I have never enjoyed a card as much as this so thanks for the compliment. I think the design for the T2 cards is great like you say, and the grey signing area is very evocative of the liquid metal motif of the T-1000. I'm glad that even though it was a film cel set set that Artbox inserted traditional style autograph cards. Its only a small list of signers but its a good one. If only they'd got Arnie I think this would be one of THE best auto non-sport sets ever as its a sci-fi classic. The T3 Arnie, as nice and low-key as it is wouldn't compare to his signature on an Artbox card. The costum cards look fantastic too. I remeber a member on here lucked out and got the FX1 card dirt cheap. | |||

I would have to say it is a toss up between my Wizard of Oz first series #7 of 8 Dorothy Dress swatch card, or my Dexter SDCC 2010 set of different staff ID cards, one for each of the 7 main characters. Only 2 of each card exist. ![]() | |||

WOW Beamer, that Dexter card is ridiculously cool and limited to just 2 cards?!? How big is it? | |||

The card is 5" X 7" and when you flip it over, the back of the ID tag shows through just like the front. The 7 different cards are listed on the certificate and I have all 7 different cards. See the next page for the certificate. ![]() | |||
