The Elusive One
Do you have a card that you have been looking for forever it seems but you just can't ever seem to find it or if you do it seems that someone else has been looking as long as you but values it more? I don't mean an impossible card, I mean a card that you should be able to find with relative effort but it just never seems to pop up.
My example is a 1923-24 Jim Bottomley Exhibit. I had the same issue with the '23-'24 Al Simmons Exhibit but fially found one several years ago by way of a beggar's rq on the BST. Last edited by HRBAKER; 05-25-2009 at 08:04 PM.

My nemesis for a long while was the T206 Byrne with something other than a Piedmont back. I think I got sniped/outbid/beat to the email on BST countless times before I finally grabbed a decent Tolstoi-backed copy. I had the same problem with the 1964 Curt Flood - I know that there is at least one collector who hoards them. That was a 5:01 Friday purchase at Reading a year ago.

"Don't really like the Exhibits much, but finding one signed would sure boast the price!
"Mastro 6/21/2007 $1.008 I would be very tempted to pay that price for a signed one! Besides, you get a lot more cardboard with this one than the MpC.  Great card! Last edited by HRBAKER; 05-25-2009 at 08:15 PM.

It took me 35 years to get around to picking up this card:

I'm always on the lookout for an M101-5 Joe Wood (any back type) or his M101-4 counterpart (any back type, except for TSN.) Seems like examples that fit my budget rarely pop up.
