Whats your Unicorn/Holy Grail item?

[Swoboda4]

From an idea started by Suave1477-whats the one main item you want? Whats your Unicorn or Holy Grail? It's described as an almost impossible piece to find for your collection-if not impossible. Mine is a Andy Van Slyke Pittsburgh G/U jersey. So,what's yours?

My Holy Grail would be a Jonathan Papelbon Game Used Sarasota Red Sox Jersey. It remains the only Jersey of his I don't own. I own 2 different Lowell Spinners Jerseys, 4 different Portland Sea Dogs Jerseys, the only Pawtucket Jersey made available so far, 2 different 2005 Boston Jerseys and a 2006 Boston Home Jersey. The Sarasota Jersey has eluded me. I'm not sure it was ever made available and the team is now with the Reds.

Swoboda im surprised thats a hard item to find!!! I could have sworn i saw one in a auction house somewhere recently. Is there a particular reason why that one is hard for you to get?

This year I was able to pick up both a Rick Anderson and Randy Neimann GU bat from when they played for the Mets. I started my 86 Mets GU bat collection in 1990 and it took me 16 years to find these 2 relief pitcher bats. I didn't think it was every going to happen and to have complete the collection on the 20th anniversary of the 86 Mets is so fitting!

My Advice to everyone is never give up and keep looking!!

Suave1477-I was on vacation when 2 years ago I missed a Van Slyke Pittsburgh Home white that went on sale on ebay from Rod Woodsons bar and grill when it closed. Then I had difficulty with a Pittsburgh away grey that I liked but had a problem with an all-star patch on what I felt was a wrong year jersey. So I kind of feel my luck is running out-not quite three strikes though.

Norman Snead, Tim Rossovich or any Philadelphia Eagles jersey from the 1969 season with an original NFL 50th Anniversary patch.

Mickey Mantle game used jersey from his playing days, or anything game used or worn by Babe Ruth or Ty Cobb.
