I'm not sure if I feel comfortable calling a card this common a white whale, but the '33 Goudey Ruth #53 is starting to feel that way. When building the set in early 2021, I found myself being picky about all of the yellow background cards in the set (so many look "dirty"), and this one was no exception. I was the bridesmaid on a few auctions, always having that feeling that it shouldn't be as expensive as it was. I own a copy of every card in the set except for this one, and it's been like that for over a year now. Waiting for prices to come down didn't work out. I fear that this one may have gotten away from me forever price-wise, and I can't bring myself to buy an ugly one at the prices even those demand.
