LSU collectors, what is the one piece that is your Holy Grail?

Stemming from my other post about collecting...
If you collect or want to collect LSU, what is the one (realistic) item that would be your Holy Grail?
I am talking about a piece you don't already have.
Mine would be one of the original Chinese Bandit masks from the Life magazine photo.
From what I heard, Billy Cannon has two in his collection.
I had the chance to buy a game ball from 1958 signed by the team, I just didn't have the cash (it sold for around $2500).
I wouldn't mind having a program from the Cuba game in 1909 (I believe).
Plus, Bert Jones' letterman jacket would have nice if it would has stayed in my collection.

Mine is a team of the "white team" (I think that's it) ... my husband is named after the qb ... although it was the back up qb.
Found it on ebay and mailed it to the guy ... yes, I stalked him and found him in the white pages. Autographed it and everything with a very nice note.

How did that exchange go? If you talked about it I missed it.

I have a signed LSU helmet from the 58 team and an authentic LSU jersey from a player on the 55 team.... Those are my holy grail items I actually own....
As far as want... well my list would be lengthy

Can you give us the backstory?

I would say the 1966 Cotton Bowl pin, and a picture of my grsandfather sitting with Tommy Casanova as they signed his LOI at his parents house.

A tooth from one of the deceased Mike the Tigers.
A train ticket from BR to Nashville from the LSU/Vandy game where Huey Long paid for a bunch of the student's tickets.

The one thing I'd really like to have is some high quality photos from the USC 1979 game that haven't been published.

She had a purple and gold basketball signed by the whole team and my sister gave it to her nephew (husband's side) who is not from Louisiana and not even an LSU fan! When I saw it, I said, "Mom! I want that!" She said, "Don't worry, I'll just have another one signed for you." I never got it.

When Shaq was back to get his degree, mom ran into him, then told me about it later. I asked her whether she was going to get my basketball. She said she'd mention it to him next time she saw him. I'm still waiting. Posted on 4/7/11 at 8:00 pm to theantiquetiger

A limited edition, very large replica of the 2004 LSU/Oklahoma Sugar Bowl (following the 2003 season) game ticket that is signed by Nick Saban.

My dad went to Istrouma and he had Billy Cannon's high school chin strap.
He was also a marshall at LSU games and took a game ball from the Alabama side line as well as a part of an old Bama tear away jersey.
Me and my brother ripped the chit out of that old thing and put an egg in the old ball. It got water logged.
I kinda wish I had those items back...but, at 5 you don't appreciate them.
