If you had to sell every card except for 10, which 10 would you keep?
I’m choosing to not list my personalized signed autos here, but I would definitely keep those above all else. 
Special Slows:
- 121/S-P Korean Coloring Book Slowpoke
- Dutch Unlimited Fossil Slowpoke
- Topps First Appearance Slowking
- Japanese McDonald’s Slowpoke
- Spanish Unseen Forces RH Slowpoke
Childhood Cards:
- Skyridge Umbreon
- Aquapolis Espeon
- Legend Maker Arcanine ex
- Expedition Butterfree
- Team Rocket Dark Charizard
And if I could only keep one…

This post is dangerous, because if I intellectually commit to an answer, do I sell the rest of my collection?

The Misty’s Tears is signed by Rachael Lillis, and the shadowless Venusaur was the first holo I ever pulled.

It would only be a monetary decision, as in maximizing equity. Regrading increasedfocus™ PSA 7’s-9’s to BGS 9.5’s or CGC pleb10’s, hodling futures, selling PSA 10’s into bubbles, Legitstein vs Fanatics, eBay vs Instagram, tax advantages and all the other bullshit one has to take into account. No sentimentality except the sentimentality of hard gains.
Realistically, my fossil Hypnos have such a high preference-to-$tonk ratio that those would probably be the last ones to go.

Darn good picks. I’d have to slot in Jungle Eevee somehow though

I’ve always loved the black star promo. A couple years ago I bought 25 PSA7s @ $11 a piece and 10 NM raw copies @ $5 a piece. Had zero plans for them. Just seemed way underpriced. Still have about 30 sitting in my dresser and makes me happy every time I open it haha

A few on my “Top 10 List” have yet to find their way into my collection. So when that happens, hopefully I can make the full post.

This is way too shiny and colorful sir. I’m afraid we can’t have this. Too beautiful.

I had to think about this one for a while
My answers may change as my collection grows though.
This maybe an interesting topic to resit later on 
For now my 10 would be:
The original trio in Japanese, Since i’d only end up with 10 cards, i would likely want to display them. The custom frame i made years a go is one of the displays that i could enjoy for a long time and would be a good symbol to remember my collection by.
#4 would be my personal current favourite card in my collection, The Grand Party. Which i only managed to finally get in the last year.
#5 would be the Black Flame Ninetales, I still hold a special connection to this card after we managed to get it recognised by CGC in the early days of them grading cards.
#6 and 7 
, would be from e4 Secret Santa 2020 & 2021.
The signed card from @muk and the Raichu (one of my favorite cards & pokemon) from @pigeonsyndicate
#8 would probably be this Spanish Jungle Jolteon, I got this through a playground trade when i was in primary school, At the time i had no idea it was Spanish.
#9 Would be a sealed Ancient Mew, as it brings back happy memories of watching the movie with family at the time of release.
#10 would be the GB Meowth, another card i have fond memories of playing hours of the Pokémon Trading Card Game on the game boy colour when i was young.
@banks i noticed you have not shared your 10 cards yet. 
I am interested in what you would pick!
