    I have a Micheal Young game used helmet from several years back. Right now I plan to keep it, but if I ever change my mind I'll let you know. I don't know what the Rangers do with their stuff. You rarely see even Ranger game used bats for sale and the one you do see are usually cracked. I've been looking for a Michael Young bat all year. I guess what I would like most is a Mariano Rivera glove from one of his big games and a Luis Arroya glove from 1961 if it exists. Two Yankee relievers separated by more than 40 years.

      Right now my grail is to find a Dave Concepcion fielding glove. Have no idea where to find it. I have never seen one up for sale before.

            I'm sure I could find an item that would qualify as a grail.

            I don't know if I'd be up to sacrificing scrotal symmetry.

              I was lucky enough to find mine awhile ago. It is a Jim Thome game fielding glove. I was able to find an '06 Sox glove. Photomatched to the '06 AllStar game. That was the end of the first base time for Jimbo. If I could get this photoshop thing down, I would put up the pics. Help ??

                Re: Do you think you will ever find your holy grail?

                I've nabbed a couple of 'Grails' for my collection over the years:

                Nolan Ryan GU hat from the Rangers

                Matt Holliday GU ASG BP Jersey from 2006 (his 1st ASG)

                Nolan Ryan Bronze Hand Casting...

                THREE Grails I would love to obtain:

                Matt Holliday GU ASG BP Jersey from 2007 (his 1st HR Derby)

                Josh Hamilton GU ASG BP Jersey from 2008 (1st ASG and 1st HR derby)

                Nolan Ryan GU 1993 Home Rangers Jersey (set 2 with HEC letters on sleeve)

                  My grail is a Jeff Bagwell game-used fielder's glove. I doubt I am going to find one, because I have never seen a legit one on the market.

                  I have a Bagwell game-ready fielder's glove, but I think that's the best I'm going to get. I'll keep my eyes open though.

                    Re: Do you think you will ever find your holy grail?

                    My holy grail items would be any one of the following with provenance:

                    Drew Pearson, home game used jersey
                    Calvin Hill, Dallas Cowboys game used jersey
                    David Thompson game used jersey

                    As others have said, money always seems to be an obstacle.

                      Re: Do you think you will ever find your holy grail?

                      I have found it.. I've seen it (in pictures) and I know who has it. However in this case, it will stay a Holy Grail, unattainable. Simply because of the asking price and while it would be the 1 item I'd overspend for by a large amount, I will not be stupid. I have lived this long without it, I will be ok the rest of the way

                        So what is 'IT'?

                        I guess I do have ONE 'TRUE' Holy Grail... and if money were no object, I would track it down and buy it...

                        I want THE Bloody jersey Nolan was wearing after taking Bo Jackson's chopper back to the mound off his lip...

                          Felix Hernandez Aquasox home jersey and it is actually for sale but for the price of a new low end car.

                            My holy grail would be a Hanley Ramirez game used helmet. Haven't seen one yet, and don't think i will

                              Picked up mine today, A GU Lastings Milledge glove from the 07 season, and for a reasonable price. Always wanted a fielding glove, and making it a Milledge is 10 times better. Now I just need a helmet of his from the Nats.
