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

I have been able to grab a couple. 2002 & 2005 UGA SEC Championship rings. But most of all is my 1981 Herschel Walker Game Used Jersey. He signed it and inscribed "My 1981 jersey"....Have been able so far to Match it to the 1981 South Carolina and Kentucky Games. Has a couple Team Repairs. Shows good Game Use.....Goooo Dawgs!!

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.

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!!

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?

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!!

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.

My grail item would be a Brandon Flowers Virginia Tech jersey, I have seen one for sale in the last 5 or so years, I recently emailed the winner of the item (ebay) and they never emailed back. I look every day for this item and hope some day to add it to my player collection, I have his game helmet from VT, so the jersey would be a great addition.

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

I don't necessarily know if you can call it a "holy grail" for me but I REALLY want to get Mike Smith's goalie mask from this season for the Phoenix Coyotes. He has played amazing well (dare I say outplayed Ilya Bryzgalov) but I spoke with him today and he keeps all his masks so that is one "grail" that I most likely will never get.

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

One for me would be the bat that Johnny Bench used throughout the epic '75 World Series. And a friend of mine, who lives 20 minutes away, actually owns it. Unfortunately it is the item that he says he would keep if he had to sell off 99% of the rest of his collection.
Oh well....
