What's on your 2010 Memorabilia Wish List?

[jacksons]

I'm hoping to find an original Type 1 team photo of the NY Yankees from any year between 1916 and 1922.

How about everyone else?

I would love to locate this pin to go with the ball I have from this game. Any help Please

My wish list/goal for 2010 is to:
Add the last 3 autographs of the 1934 cardinals and have matted and framed.
Add the last 2 autographs of the 1960 Pirates and have matted and framed.
Add 1 Stadium seat (probably Yankees) to my memorabilia room
Work on the 1927 Yankees autographs including adding additional 1927 payroll checks.
Of course, I'm terrible about starting other projects in the middle of one's I'm working on, so I reserve the right to change my mind!

Two things that would fit well into my collection are the Mantle/Maris Stellar radio and the Trophy baseball radio. Not all that hard to find but have to wait for the right ones ( as far as condition goes) at the right time. Hopefully I can add one or both this year.

I would also like to find the baseball pitcher andiron to complete the pair.

If I can gather up enough funds, any Rube Waddell items would do just fine!

I would love anything from Lane Field in San Diego.

I filled quite a few holes this year, but have 5 recurring items that continue to be on the want-list for many years running...

1. Athletics Stanford Pottery Bank (White Elephant Mascot)
2. White Sox Teens Oversized Greeen Felt Pennant with outstretched Fielder
3. A Duckweb Style Glove in decent condition
4. The Mueller Baseball Clock
5. 1910 Original Testi Statues - Batter and Pitcher (the ones currently on ebay are repros, although not described as such)

Since these are obscure items, I have posted a few photos below...

If anyone can help out with leads to any of these items on "America's Dumbest Want List", please let me know

The timing of this post is interesting because I've had a great year of additions. This great year will be capped off when one of my all time most wanted memorabilia pieces arrives in the next few weeks (I'll post fully when I have it in hand). I had the good fortune to add an oversized Cubs pennant, several early full size Tigers and Cubs pennants, four prized trophies and five terrific figurals. Lately I've been basking in my triumphs and have given little thought to what I don't have. This is one of the primary reasons I put great effort into my office rebuild. When you are surrounded by what you love you can appreciate it. When it's packed away you need a new piece to scratch your itch before putting it away and moving on to another fix. This is just a theory, but it seems to make sense. My 2010 goals based on fiscally realistic options for me.

-I high end Catcher figural trophy.
-A large high end batter figural piece (either a trophy or statue).
-Something Galvano or bronze (I don't have any statues).
-An early baseball themed plate or two.

"My 2010 goals based on fiscally realistic options for me."


In retrospect I should have taken a page from Mike's Book, as unfortunately I made my 2010 goals fiscally unrealistic. Those things would cumulatively cost a fortune!

Rather than edit the post above, I'll say that I would be thrilled to add even one of those 5 items to my collection. I don't really expect to find any of those five things in 2010, but it doesn't hurt to aim high! Plus it was fun to track down photos of each, and post the pics.

I do feel ridiculously blessed to be able to participate in this great hobby, and (like Mike) think it is far better to focus on what we have vs. what we don't. Thanks for the great perspective!

I would like to get a better Gehrig autograph for my collection.

Anything to add. I would say if I won the lottery, a nice Babe Ruth signed item would be a dream, preferably a ball.
