Re: Whats your Unicorn/Holy Grail item?

My Holy grail would be a Cincinnati Reds vest of Wally Post. Loved him as a kid and have several signed things of his, but the jersey would be the topper.

Anthony Ferrari 2003 Montreal Expos. He only pitched 4 innings in his career.

Wow. I have heard of collectors who collect jerseys and bats from very specific unknown players but this one takes the cake.

I wish you the best of luck, sounds like a real quest.

Re: Whats your Unicorn/Holy Grail item?

panthroc that bat is insane! I grew up and still live in NY and attend bronx games myself and remember watching mguire in that green uni swing a monster home run against the yanks. I was 8 years old! at the same game most likely (don't think he homerd in the rest of series) it was 1994. Atleast my first game was IDK when you saw him. Got his rookie card in fleer pack a week later!!!! then wen he hit those home runs and shattered record holding his son over homeplate I sold it for a pretty penny. Then burned all my Mcwire stuff after I found this in his locker

You burned all your mac stuff cause he juiced? That's pretty lame. I first saw him in 1990. I remember all the years he would get hurt. I can't blame a guy for using something that helped his body get stronger and to withstain injury.

You might as well burn every card of just about every player in the last 20 years because just about everybody took something to get an edge. Not trying to be a english teacher but your grammar is terrible lol

Re: Whats your Unicorn/Holy Grail item?

When I was 7 at my first ball game I saw McGwire hit a HR against the Yankees. I saw many after that at The Bronx and at Shea. From the time I was 7 up until last August my Holy grail was a McGwire HR Bat with provenience. Photomatched Bats are nice, but something with 100% legitimacy is what Im proud to say I own.

21 years of dreaming came true on August 5,2010.

A legitimate Mark McGwire HR notated bat
Given to teammate after game

Used on 8-21-2001 for Career HR 576

Re: Whats your Unicorn/Holy Grail item?

Thanks for the tease...LOL . Awesome pic. There is probably one out there somewhere and if it is at the national I might have to refinance the house. I don't think the wife would approve. She would understand, but not approve.

Re: Whats your Unicorn/Holy Grail item?

This is a great thread because a person's grail is something that should make collecting fun. That is the reason I got back into collecting, for the pure and simple fun of it. With what went down today, it reminds me that there are people in this hobby that might not be so great and just looking to make money, but that will not keep me from pursuing something that I love.

Re: Whats your Unicorn/Holy Grail item?
