Do you think you will ever find your holy grail?

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

Mine was a game used Hamilton bat from his first World Series. Well, that came to fruition a few months ago when HE actually gave one of his 2010 WS bats to my boys and autographed it for them.


Soooo, I suppose my next one would be a bat from his second World Series, especially game 3 because we were at the game.

Well...my other white whale was harpooned this weekend! Josh Hamilton's bat from the 8th inning of game 3 (2011 World Series). This is a very special item to me because my son and I were at the game.

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

My grail items have changed over the last 15 years, as I have acquired items that I once considered "grails".

My 3 "grail" items at this time:

Dwight Clark GU jersey
Hacksaw Reynolds GU 49er jersey
Fred Dean GU 49er jersey

Acquiring any one of the above shirts would be such a thrill! If anyone has any idea on how to acquire any one of these 3 gamers, please let me know. I am paying whatever it takes to add these to my collection!!

I just picked up a 1967 Minnesota Gophers Big Ten Championship ring (Gophers last Big Ten Championship season). It was one of two grail items that's been on my list for over 15 years. I figured I'd never find one. Next up is a 1961 Gophers Nat Champs ring. We'll see if one of those ever turns up.

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

I am hopefull to land a grail one day, though if I dont and land a bunch of cool items along the way, I will be fine.

Baseball - Greg Maddux cubs jersey circa 86-92

Basketball - Horace Grant early 90's jersey & goggles

It is what makes this hobby fun. The hope of finally getting your dream item.

Wish everyone all the luck on their journey!!

My holy grail right now is a pair of 2005 Jeff Bagwell pair of Darryl Kile tribute spikes. I have the '03 and '04 versions, but I would love the '05 to complete the set. If anybody knows where one is, I will pay a good chunk of change for it.

Maybe someone on here can help. I am looking for one of Pujols' 2001 Spring training jerseys #68. Anyone have any leads? I know one is in the St.L area.

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

Mine would be a Gu'ed Oronde Gadsden jersey. I know a guy on this site has one and i just missed getting it from teh seller just before he did.
If i had a 2nd it would be a Dolphins GU'ed Helmet from .... Gadsden. Cameron Wake, Jared Orick, Greg Camrillo or Sammy Morris.
Thoes would be my favorite.

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

Well, I have multiple Holy Grails, they're not that hard to find, but disposable income is not something I have a lot of. I would love to have a game used jersey from Bobby Clarke or Bernie Parent. I'd also like a game used Cuba jersey from Jose Contreras. But most of all I'd like a game used 76ers jersey from Dikembe Mutombo. He's my favorite basketball player of all time (corruption allegations aside). I'd also like to have a game used UNC basketball jersey. Any player, doesn't really matter. They just don't come on the market that often.

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

Got to love that Ray Guy - awesome. I collect Raiders from that early 80's time frame but never been able to get my hands on one.

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

Will i find it? Yeah maybe one day, will i be able to afford it is the bigger question. One of them would be a Jets game worn 9/11 jersey, being at the game and just that night in general i would love a piece from that game, i saw a few on NFL auction but couldn't afford them at the time so i missed out.
My other grail, not really sure what it would be.
