Already have my Dream Card - My Wife's Rookie Card from 1993!  All the other multitude of cards (1910-2023) are a very nice BONUS.  For ALL Trading Cards Matter!!

I don't have a dream card, I just build sets. But if someone said I could trade my collection for any one card but no longer collect cards, I for sure would. I'd take a 7 figure card, sell it, focus on my other collections, and miss cards to a certain extent  

I may say yes and take the offer for a 1952 Mantle or a T206 Wagner. But that’s because I also collect other things as well. It will give me the chance to declutter all them boxes of cards.

For me my dream would be to have every Topps cards from their base sets and traded sets from each year.  My son and I joke that if he ever makes it to the point of making Spielberg money then we'd try to reach that goal someday.  As a result, I don't have a single "dream card".

yes if it was for a graded PSA 9 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle RC. Than I would shift my collecting focus to other stuff instead of trading cards. 

For me, the dream card that would justify giving up collecting might be a Jordan rookie. I could enjoy it in its slab and pass it to my nephew when the time came.

Would it be a good deal? Would it feel that way years later? Maybe. Maybe not. 

I don’t care to find out though. 

At least not until I’m ready to be done.

Nope. No dream card. Or I already have my dream card or cards. Maybe I don’t dream big enough? Maybe a 1930’s Babe  Ruth? But I collect baseball cardS, not card. I love the variety of my collection. In another thread where we were asked about our favorite card, I named 10 cards. 
So, again, no. I like my variety. 
I MIGHT trade, say all my sets from 1990 to present for a dream card, though.
