Mine would be the Goldeneye Numbered Promo, which I got a while ago from Darren at Cards Inc for a price that I couldn't argue with.
But i wouldn't mind another one if it was numbered 007/500 or 006/500. That would be SOOOOOO cool!
My other favourite promo(s) is the Die Another Day 6-card promo packet made available at a NJ convention (I think), that are foil versions of the Japanese movie posters.

The only other promos I'm searching for are the James Bond Connoisseur Collection San Diego 4 card set and the X-Files Connections P-FOA card (but at a more reasonable price).

Out of curiosity, do people consider preview sets 'Promo Cards' or would you regard them separately?

Card collectors like to throw around that term Holy Grail. But what does it really mean? I think the definition has to vary depending on the collector.

Some seem to think the card has to be so rare its impossible to find. Or that it has to be so expensive, it's just unaffordable to the collector. Or that it is just so unique that it can't ever be duplicated. Or is so obscure that only a handful experts ever heard of it.

I can think of many autograph cards and sketches that would fall under one or more those descriptions and almost none of them would be a Holy Grail to me. There are cards you would like to own, but few that you really need to own. As you say, ones that would make your year. Sometimes its just a matter of figuring out what you really want and looking for it. Can't see the forest for the trees kind of thing. But Holy Grails should be personal and be about more than just picking out the most expensive cards on the hot list.
