One of the red alternate jerseys used by the Reds on very limited occasions in the 1980s, preferably one worn by a catcher.

My two favorite teams are the Philadelphia Phillies and the Pittsburgh Steelers. I do not see a lot of Phillies game used/worn jerseys available and never see Pittsburgh Steelers game used/worn jerseys.

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

I am a Cincinnati Reds collector and a fan of Joe Nuxhall. I have only ever seen (1) one Joe Nuxhall game used jersey and that was owned by Col. Dave Grobe. Another game used Nuxhall jersey or bat (I have never seen one) would be the two items I wonder if they will ever surface.

I can't remember which auction house, but someone recently (maybe even currently) had/has a jersey worn by John Goodman in the movie "The Babe." It's a major auction house...I think.

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

One of my interests is in collecting Baseball gear used in movies and television. I've managed to get ahold of a number of cool things over the years, like one of the "Pirates" jerseys and caps worn by Captain Hook's men in the ballgame scene in the movie 'Hook', a bat used in the filming of the classic X-Files episode 'The Unnatural' (it's an old A.J. Reach bat painted, for some reason, grey), Katy Sagal's softball jersey from the Married With Children episode of the same name, a uniform worn by Gena Davis in 'A League of Their Own', a jersey worn by Dean Cain in the short-lived series 'Clubhouse', etc.

Anyway, I'd dearly love to own the bat that Joachim Phoenix used to kill the alien in 'Signs'. That's one broken bat that I definitely would not be glueing back together. The closest I've been able to come so far is a full-sized, beautifully made bat that they gave out to crew members on the film, inscribed with the production company logo...but I would definitely love to get ahold of the real thing.

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

The Home White (89-96) is a Jimy Williams #3 from 1989
The Road Grey (89-96) is a Juan Guzman #49 from 1989.
The Alt Blue (94-96) is a Dick Schofield #22 from 1994.

The only other Negro League tribute jersey the Jays have worn was in 2002 vs. the Red Sox. I've managed to grab three of those, hoping to perhaps sweeten a future trade/sale for the 2001 missing "grail".

Great topic, btw.

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

I have 27 of the 28 jerseys that the Toronto Blue Jays have worn in a regular season game.

I've always wanted to track down the 2001 Negro League tribute jersey they wore July 15th at Shea Stadium (that of the Chatham All-Stars).

The Mets sold their entire set on mlb.com; the Jays did not. I found one on Lelands three months after it had sold.

Still check every day.
Still no luck.
