Let's See Your Holy Grail - Prize Possession - #1 Item

[Leon]

Not necessarily my holy grail (it's my avatar) but this is possibly my favorite image on a baseball card...... I have seen 5s-7s I don't care for as much as this lowly 2.5...

I had been looking for this postcard for over two years. Then not only was I able to get a copy, but it is signed by the entire team as well. I was speechless.

Then later that same month I was able to get the original contract and the team signed foldout with Jimmie Foxx...nearly fell off my chair. All three of these in one month. They all beat anything I have gotten in my years of collecting AAGPBL items.

This is awesome!

This is by far my most prized possession and has been for 25 years and I can't imagine that it will ever change. This is the only known Wade Boggs/Roger Clemens wrong back error pair. They are my all time favorite players and I collect error cards so having that combo on a wrong back pair is the ultimate for me.

Some really kewl stuff, guys. I love the pieces that have the stories and so forth. I forgot but this could be my fave piece (not card) in my collection. It is the only fairly substantial item kept from Collection I. I didn't want to take it off my wall!! Every time I walk into my office I see it. It would have been more of an empty feeling than was already happening (which wasn't too bad actually) So it isn't a bad consolation...

My Holy Grail and after 4 years, I finished the 1935 Chicle Set.

Definitely my favorite item now - scroll signed by 180+ members of the American League in 1935. Allegedly hung in the locker room in Cleveland for all players to sign as they came through town, then was given to Indians manager Steve O'Neill for display....

Leon, what is that exactly? Haven't seen something like it before.

Awesome card, and looks great for the grade. That is also one of my favorite images in the hobby, right up there with the N162 Anson and 53 Bowman Reese.
