A Bill Mazeroski or Luis Aparicio Glove would be more coveted than another piece of equipment, because of their fielding prowess. This listing would differ by "era" as well. That said, here is how I would rank them in generic fashion...
Fielder's Glove
Jersey
Bat
Helmet
Face Mask
Hat
Pants
Cleats
Shin Guards
Equipment Bag
Batting Gloves
I listed fielder's gloves first, as they are issued in far fewer numbers than other equipment like Jerseys, Cleats, Hats and especially Batting Gloves. In the "old days" a player would use a single glove for multiple seasons. Just my 2 cents...

I agree w/ Perezfan..and would rank my list along with his, except that I have no real personal interest in cleats (maybe Lou Brock's or Henderson's etc), nor shin guards (except some vintage reeded ones). A fielder's glove from a favourite player would be a great find. I mostly collect jerseys and bats as they can be found readily and are reletively affordable (some some of the players/teams I collect) and display well, with maximum eye appeal.
