Do you think you will ever find your holy grail?

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

I have a Micheal Young game used helmet from several years back. Right now I plan to keep it, but if I ever change my mind I'll let you know. I don't know what the Rangers do with their stuff. You rarely see even Ranger game used bats for sale and the one you do see are usually cracked. I've been looking for a Michael Young bat all year. I guess what I would like most is a Mariano Rivera glove from one of his big games and a Luis Arroya glove from 1961 if it exists. Two Yankee relievers separated by more than 40 years.

The Ranger Foundation has sales from time to time at the stadium. They often have bats of the Ranger stars, as well, a multitude of various bats. I bought several unused bats for 25-50 bucks a piece I use for BP.

Never seen any helmets though.

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

Hello, to all of my fellow collectors out there. I wanted to follow up my original post from almost 2 1/2 years ago. I finally found my holy grail! Thanks to a long time boston area collector and game used universe member. He wanted to remain anonymous so I will honor that. I told him the story behind this old school Patriots logo helmet. Without my knowledge, he has been searching and searching. After putting many feelers out there, he finally found it. It turns out the Garin Veris #60 helmet was used during the 1986 season and is hammered. I have photo matched it in several photos and oddly enough, a 1989 card. I cannot thank this fellow guu member enough for his arduous work! Sorry, I do not know how to post photos. What a beauty!

My grail is a Jeff Bagwell game-used fielder's glove. I doubt I am going to find one, because I have never seen a legit one on the market.

I have a Bagwell game-ready fielder's glove, but I think that's the best I'm going to get. I'll keep my eyes open though.


Bagwell game-ready fielder's glove - 1999-2001 era

It's been a couple of years since this post, and I still haven't found the Baggy. I'll keep looking, but I've moved on to other items. I've found a few of my grails since, and I'm sure I'll find a Bagwell glove eventually.

A few years ago, I actually made a deal to buy a Matt Williams 2001 World Series home jersey, and the Seller backed out without explanation - claimed a third party actually owned the jersey and that he had backed out. (Probably just as well, as people who pull crap like that are usually not the kind of people with whom you want to deal, anyway.)

Thanks jack! I have been searching for that helmet since 1987. It was a true needle in a haystack.

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.

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?

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?

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?

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.

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?

I'm guessing no... I'd take any of the following:

GU Mattingly #46
GU 1994 Mattingly
GU 1995 Mattingly
