I'm fairly new to collecting. Though I pride myself on being an extremely fast learner, and I've figured a lot of things out for myself, I'm still not entirely savvy on the terminology. I know that a "Nirvana" is a pony variant that was made exclusively in a different country, and I know what things like "regrind", "pony cancer" and "smooze" are.
I'd like to know, what exactly is a "holy grail" pony? I know that it's different for everyone and that it's effectively the one pony that you want more than anything else, but what exactly constitutes a "grail" pony? Does it have to be particularly rare or expensive? Does it have to be out of print? G1-G3 only? What things do you take into consideration when deciding a pony is your grail?
I'm asking because I don't really know what my grail pony would be... I have long wishlists for every gen, but I don't know which of each I could think of as the holy grail of the lot. I can think of quite a few ponies that I'd love to own, and a few that I'm desperate for, but I'm not sure if they could be considered grails...
And on the same topic, what are your personal holy grail ponies? Do you have them yet, or are you still looking?
