What's everyone's White Whale of the Moment?

[phillyfan24]

1973 Mike Schmidt PSA 9.

My search for this (just wanting my fav player as a kid) thinking it would be a $400 or $500 cost. Now, not only do I not have one yet. But I'm back collecting BB cards after 25 years! A few months ago I didn't even know what PSA was.....I still can't believe I've already spent a lot of money and I feel like a kid again. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!

Top of the list - after one for 25+ years!!!

1960 Complete Bazooka box with Clemente - any condition - anyone want to help me achieve the dream in this lifetime?

A few other highly elusive pursuits:

1962(20 piece), 1964(25 piece), 1965 (25 piece), 1966(25 piece) Bazooka box size variations with Clemente

1959 Venezuelan Mantle (the one that got away a couple of times)
1968 Venezuelan Ryan (the one that got away a couple of times)
1960 Harmony Dairy Clemente 8x10 (the one that got away a couple of times)

Great post, Jamie. What's money, compared to feeling like a kid again? Of course, the ball-and-chain might have a different view.

Ah Yes, the unissued current all stars......tough tough tough....I gave up on those. Any idea of the graded pop for those? Dave.

[ALR-bishop]

I don't think that more than 2 or 3 of the unissued CAS exist. Maybe less than that for the other 3 on the list. Have never seen anything other than pictures/scans of the 60 proofs and 71 Artists proofs. Larry has a few of the 66 punch outs

[sflayank]

al
the 60 proofs were at the national last year
thats the last well see of them until his collection is up for sale in its entirety
