Default Long sought quests

Posted By: Rob Dewolf

I'm pretty fortunate in that I (think) I've acquired just about every piece of vintage Cleveland Indians memorabilia that I really want. But like Dan alluded to, when you're talking about memorabilia, you never know what will show up. (Example: I've got the 90 known Indians pencil clips issued from 1948-52. But if an uncataloged one were to surface? My world would be turned upside down.)

That being said, two things that have alluded me:

1. A 1920 World Series press pin that is the celluloid, Cleveland version

2. The oversized Cleveland Naps pennant, featuring a full-size image of Lajoie, circa 1912 or so

What's particularly frustrating is that each of these items has come up for auction since I've been collecting. I didn't have the means to acquire the pennant and was unwilling to pay the price for the press pin.
