Re: Whats your Unicorn/Holy Grail item?

Looking for a 1908 Ty Cobb Spalding store model bat and a 1924 Ray Schalk store model bat to complete a collection of 22 HOF'ers who appeared with names on Spalding baseball bats.

Re: Whats your Unicorn/Holy Grail item?

Cool topic, so I'll bite. I'm fortunate that after 8-9 years of collecting I do now have my grails in baseball, football and hockey. But what am I still wanting?
-- Pete Maravich Atlanta Hawks GU jersey, or a Pistol Pete Celtics jersey (I could not afford one so its a moot point)
-- Carl Yaz Red Sox GU home white button-up jersey (have to admit I am afraid I probably don't trust the hobby enough to buy one of these now)
-- Larry Bird Celtics GU jersey (again, I have to admit I am afraid I probably don't trust the hobby enough to buy one of these now either)
-- Paul Holmgren Philadelphia Flyers GU jersey, haven't heard of one offered in nine years of collecting.

Of course, a game-used Ron Santo home or away jersey from his playing days with the Cubs...such a simple request....and a mega-difficult task to bring to fruition!!!

As a die-hard Denver Broncos collector with an affinity for members of the team's Ring of Fame, how about a 1960-'61 era game jersey of either safety Austin "Goose" Gonsoulin or end Lionel Taylor?

A Thurman Munson home flannel jersey.

The broken Louisville Slugger that Bo Jackson snapped in half over his thigh after striking out. What a superhuman feat of strength!

Re: Whats your Unicorn/Holy Grail item?

Hard to narrow it down to one piece. Would love to own a 1999 Futures (Turn Ahead The Clock) game worn jersey from either the Twins, Mets, Indians or Brewers. For bats a gamer of a HOF or future one would be nice. Would especially like a HOF pitcher's bat.......

I own that bat. It has pink ball marks all over it.

Within the last year a Bo Jackson gamer that was broken in half sold on ebay for $60. The handle was missing. I almost bought it to display it with a picture of him breaking a bat over his leg.

My holy grail item is a 1991 Twins world series jersey worn by Jack Morris.

My Holy Grail item would be a DVD collection of The Jackie Thomas show from 1992. Rosanne and Tom Arnold split up while this series was still airing and it was cut off in mid-season. It was the funniest television show I can remember.

If you ask for a sports item, it would be a 1979 Thurman Munson autographed card. One that I could sleep well at night owning.

My holy grail item. It would be alot of things but if i could get one thing it would be a Shoeless Joe Jackson fielding glove that he used in the 1919 WS.

I would expect something cooler from Joe Jackson, like his shoes from the 1919 World Series. That would be cool, man, Shoeless Joe's Shoes!

Any jersey that was unquestionably used by a noteworthy baseball player for an entire season.

A Bob Lillis game used bat from the 60's. With so many AB's, there HAS to be one out there despite ten years of looking.
