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?

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.

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?

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.

Any Willie Horton 1981 Beavers jersey...wait, Howard's got them all!
A 1970's Sacramento Solons, Tacoma Tugs, Ogden A's or San Jose Missions PCL jersey. Have found Salt Lake Gulls, Phoenix Giants and Tucson Toros in recent years, so am hopeful. Wife, on other hand, hopeful that I don't find them...

A Dick Such game used bat. I know they are out there somewhere. I have a letter returned to the Senator's from Mr. Such telling them he would like Louisville Slugger R143 ordered for the upcoming season.

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

some pretty interesting items so far. it's good to see that it seems a lot of people are playing the waiting game for years. for awhile it seemed like everyone around me was finding everything they wanted except me.
a few years ago, lelands auctioned off a garvey dodgers jersey and an early 60's uecker bat.
i notice most of the items in this thread are 15-30 yrs old. with the notable explosion in the supply of current pieces, i wonder if in 20 yrs collectors will have similar difficulties in finding things or if the huge supply of today will mean that it'll be easy to find most anything even in 20 yrs. there seem to be enough arod, manny and ortiz jerseys to easily last for the next 50 yrs.
howard: good story about those portland beavers pieces. i can't believe you finally got them after 25 yrs of waiting. you sound pretty confident you'll get the tiant pieces. i wish i shared your optimism for the pieces on my list. i have a hunch i'll never see a 1990 or 1991 olerud home gamer. but who knows.. maybe i'll be lucky enough to post my own "after 25 yrs of waiting, i finally got it!" story. i'd only be 57 yrs old too.
i also have a hunch that 80% of the items in this thread are sitting in storage lockers or players' attics.
