All of my Holy Grail items have been items that have come out of the blue because there is no "book" for what I collect and I'm not sure what even exists. Some items that I would consider my Holy Grail would be:

1. Jersey or full uniform for the Nebraska Indians
2. Jersey or full uniform for the Lincoln Western League club (c1906-1938)
3. Any celluloid item (pinback, mirror) associated with the Nebraska Indians
4. A photo or postcard of Guy W. Green's shortlived Japanese baseball team

What are the odds that one of these items ever turn up??? Don't know, but last year we did one of these threads and on my list was a book issued by Guy W. Green "A Complete History of the Nebraska Indians" and that same week it magically appeared on ebay. Other than Yale's copy in their rare book and manuscript collection I believe my copy to be the only other known copy and mine is a first edition printed in 1900 whereas Yale's is a 3rd edition from 1903.
