Grail Card?
 

What’s the grail card of your collection? Do you have it or are you after it? If so how did you get it?

Wagner

Bob Feller PSA 10 rookie

Never seen either pop up

Realistic baseball grail card for me: Ty Cobb and/or Babe Ruth playing days card. Don't own one at the moment.

Even if I never own it, I just want to see the 2006 bowman chrome draft Evan Longoria superfractor auto.

I still need the 1968 OPC & Venezuela Nolan Ryan RCs. One would be more attainable than the other.

CHM!!!!

PSA 6 1959 Bob Gibson Rc and a PSA 9 1980 Topps Rickey Henderson

2011 Topps Jose Altuve Black and Hope Diamond

I dont have a grail. I have grails.

Too many collections. Too many memories.

If I was only allowed to keep one card, I would sell everything to avoid having to choose. Picking only one is impossible.

oddly specific, I can appreciate

Why is this oddly specific? Sounds like a budget has been established

Barry Larkin 1998 Crusade Red

If I were to just pick something unobtainable for me it'd be the 2023 Cosmic Chrome Aaron Judge Supernova Superfractor. Pure eye candy.

I don't know if the definition of grail means it has to be something I could ever actually own. The card I was most excited for, my small grail is the 2013 Adeiny Hechevarria Heritage Auto RC.

Mine is my avatar - 1984 Topps Darryl Palmer

THE Mantle. Sold 75% of my collection to a nice man in a pickup truck to get it.

I PC Vlad. Started in 2016 and when his RCs hit on 2019, I had one grail…his 2019 Dynasty Logoman RC Auto. After a month of negotiating, it was mone:

1954 Hank Aaron RC, obtained recently

Same, but Vlad, Sr. Missed the last auction and I’m not sure I’ll see one for a while!

For Baseball: probably the 97 Finest Gold Embossed Refractor Griffey (defining grail here as something theoretically within reach. If out of anything…fine the T206 Wagner).

For General Nonsports: probably the Harry Potter triple auto.

For Marvel cards: probably the 1996 Masterpieces 1:60,000 pack redemption card for an original painting……never been seen (how do you like that for a grail, an expired redemption!). Close second: Error card of 92 Masterpieces silver surfer vs thanos with partial #2-D and #3-D split back.

Comic books: Amazing Fantasy #15 unrestored CGC 2.5 or higher. If including totally out of reach: Captain America Comics #1 or Marvel Comics #1.

+1.00

2018 Topps Chrome Update Max Scherzer #HMT77: Superfractor

It would be obtainable based on cost, but I'm going to assume they're all locked up in master sets: 2017 Heritage Joe Panik Throwback #238

I bought mine a couple months ago off a member of the BO Forums.

2024 Topps Heritage George Brett Autograph.

I waited for that card to be released for what seemed to be forever.
