Re: What item(s) have you been waiting forever to surface?

I would like to find a 1975 California Angels road gray knit Rawlings game used jersey with 1975 flag tag of any player or coach. Also, I would like to find a Tom Egan California Angels knit or flannel game used jersey. Finally, a game used bat of former Angels catcher Randy Brown from 1969-1970.

I would also just like to see a legitimate 1973 Angels home knit jersey of Nolan Ryan. Over the years, I must have seen 10-15 of the 1973 Ryan Angels home jerseys around. Now I just want to see a real one.

1983 Los Angeles Dodgers Sid Fernandez jersey. He pitched in only two games before being traded to the Mets. Also, a 1997 Houston Astros jersey. Sid pitched only one game for them. These two jerseys represent the start and finish of El Sid's career.

Kind Regards,

Ron.

Re: What item(s) have you been waiting forever to surface?

One item that I knew would surface at some point, did actually surface on eBay approx. 6-7 years ago. Another 'streak' related to Cal Ripken Jr. that gets little attention was that from 1982-87, he played in 8,243 consecutive innings (a Major League record). In September of '87 in the 8th inning of a game in Toronto (they were losing 18-3), Cal Ripken Sr. pulled Jr. out in the bottom of the inning & replaced him with Ron Washington (the current Rangers manager) thus ending this streak. I was always looking for that '87 road Ron Washington Orioles top to add to my collection and was fortunate to find it on eBay (perhaps it was only significant to me) for less than $100.

Alan Ashby catching equipment. Preferably from the Astros, but I would take anything at this point. Also, an Ashby game used Astros "rainbow" jersey.

Re: What item(s) have you been waiting forever to surface?

Great Thread!! I am trying to collect a bat from every player who played for the Red Sox since 1960 and I need 21 to complete the collection. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on the way you look at it) a few years before I started this quest in ernest, but while I was collecting Red Sox bats haphazardly, an Outfit called Centerfield auctioned off the Paul Hill collection and a number of the bats I need in the auction. So they are out there somewhere. My grail bats are Willie Tasby, Ken Poulsen, Carmen Fanzone, Roman Mejias, Felix Mantilla, George Smith, Luis Alvarado, Syd O'Brien and Bobby Heise. Household names for sure!

If you know of anyone with a large vintage bat collection please pass my email address on to them.

Re: What item(s) have you been waiting forever to surface?

As an avid Phillies collector, I had always dreamed of owning a 1980 Championship Ring. After 16 years of searching, I had an opportunity to purchase Tug McGraw's actual ring. It's my understanding that he had to pay off a huge debt, and used this as partial payment.





I also have Steve Carlton's and Von Hayes' 1983 N.L. Championship Rings.

Althoug it took me 16 years to find the McGraw, I'm hopeful it will take less time to find a Phillies 1993 N.L. Championship ring of a key player, i.e, Kruk, Daulton, Dykstra, Schilling, etc.

Re: What item(s) have you been waiting forever to surface?

My new holy grail is a 2000 Bobby M. Jones game used bat or any gamer during his tenure with the Mets. There are plenty of Bobby J. Jones bats but I've never come across a Bobby M.

Two items top my list . . . (1) a pair of Mariners home pants worn by Griffey Jr. and (2) a Montreal Expos hat worn by Pete Rose with bet marks under the brim of the cap (auctioned by Grey Flannel in 1997).
