          My current holy grail is a Clayton Kershaw game used batting helmet. I know it exists as one sold in the 2008 GUU auction. I just don't know who has it. I do know they don't want to sell it as I have posted it as being wanted in the the wanted section with no response numerous times. I will keep on the lookout though. I doubt I will have another shot at it though...

            Isn't the Holy Grail supposed to be unattainable?

            Symantics aside, my answer is "No. Definitely NO!"

            My top holy grail is the 8/23/1983 George Brett pine-tar incident bat. George still owns it and has it on loan to the Baseball Hall of Fame. So, nope... its a near impossibility. Even if it someday went up for auction, it would be well out of my budget.

            Holy Grail #2 - Ted Williams game use bat... nope, probably never afford one.

              Like a few others on here, mine would be a Mattingly game used fielders glove.

                Wonder if that's even attainable.

                  I have never seen one hit the market, and it is highly unlikely that one ever will. And if it does, I will have no chance , unless I hit the lottery

                      A couple I'd love to get:

                      1977-1979 Bob Brudzinski game worn Los Angeles Rams jersey.
                      1979 striped Pittsburgh Pirates game worn jersey with original name on back.

                        Well, like a lot of you, I have several grails. Anything game-worn from Don Hutson or Curly Lambeau, but I don't think I'll ever have a shot.

                        I do have another item I've described as "the grail" that I might be able to get someday - I know who has it. Hope he someday decides to sell it.

                          Now those are definetly Grails!

                          I don't think you can clasify much from the last 20 years as a grail unless it was a milestone piece. With the amount of stuff being marketed and sold from modern players, your odds are pretty good on tracking down anything from a modern player.

                          Didn't a Mattingly glove get sold in the Halper auction? I remember in the Halper video, Mattingly traded one of his bats and a glove for one of Halpers Gehrig bats. That glove must be out in the hobby somewhere

                            Fun post, I am pretty lucky for I own a few items that I never thought I would find. But for now, a Graig Nettles game used Glove would be awesome to own. Anyone got one? Tjwinnie@aol.com

                              Yes, Donnie did give one to Halper (with a bat) in exchange for a Gehrig bat. Also, back in 1986 or so, at the East Coast National Baseball Card Show in White Plains, NY, there was a table full of Mattingly stuff. The guy who was running it was a man named Prentice Montgomery (I believe). He had a GU glove and bat and numerous autographed pictures. I remember seeing the bat and glove for around $300 and thinking, "man, I wish I had that much to spend on something like that" (I was 16 at the time). I often wonder who wound up with that bat and glove and if it's sitting in a landfill somewhere b/c someone's mom/wife/son/daughter threw it out or if it's still being adored by a collector. As a Mattingly collector, that is one heck of a piece. Actually, I wouldn't mind the glove he wore while playing 3rd base for the 1 game or the glove he wore at @B for the completion of the Pine Tar game. Great stuff!!!

                                My holy Grail would be a Packers Don Majkowski home green gamer. I have never seen one and probably wont.
