It's been over a year since Paul posed this question to us in this thread.

http://www.network54.com/Forum/567138/thread/1201703199/last-1201802730/Long+sought+quests

Because of this thread I've recently been able to cross off one of my Holy Grails so to speak. While researching a postcard a gentleman found he came across my name and want list. He contacted me and a deal was struck. I've been looking for a photo of the 1907 Wichita Jobbers for over 12 years. This team was ranked as the 41st best minor league team of all-time. I've also been able to cross off another item from my list, a photo of John Levi. Levi was called "the greatest athlete I've ever seen" by Jim Thorpe. He was best known for his football skills but was signed by the Yankees without them even seeing him play.

I guess it truly pays to advertise especially if it's free. Has anyone else been able to get any of their long sought grail items? This would also be a good time to post your list again and add any new items you might want.

Here's what I'm searching for now.

1) Cabinet photo of Goldsby's Golden Giants of Topeka
2) Flannel jersey from the Wichita Indians
3) 1918 Chicago White Sox at Camp Funston postcard
