What is your "White Whale"?

[BuzzD]

My white whale is PC760 Rose Co Niles as NYY. Couple other close ones, but this would be big big!

It would be interesting to find out how many white whales were found since this thread was started a decade ago.

That zarilla Busby is one of the rarest post war cards that no one cares about

I still need that borderless Bonura to complete the set.

In 2009 I quoted Melville and howled at the moon for a Horner cabinet photo of Joe Wood. It had been auctioned previously with a whole passel of Horner Cabs (by Mastro, I believe); I didn't bid hard enough and regretted it. About ten years later the same cab with the same dogbite became available. This time I was ready to sell an appendage if need be. It's visible beneath Mr Kreindler's masterpiece.

Made me a bit sentimental to see the names of some great fellows who are no longer with us. Joe Pelaez was a hobby star; he was a real character. Anthony Stephenson was a sweetheart of a guy with a great sense of humor and a jones for Obaks. Rest in Peace, old friends.

RC's for Cy Young, Mathewson, Johnson, Joss and last but not least type 1 photo of Ernie Koob....

[Peter_Spaeth]

I'd like to find a nice 58 Omaha Cardinals Bob Gibson.

[AddieJoss]

Rose’s PC Joss or T206 BL Joss.

For my players from Oklahoma collection, my white whale is a type I photo of Bullet Joe Rogan or anything from his playing days. I don't want to use the 1974 Laughlin Black Stars as my card for Joe.

I love that card...

Mike Tiernan Large Gypsy Queen

[pclpads]

Not vintage by any stretch, but mine is a '56T #159 Courtney w/b in PSA 5 or better. For me, toughest card in the set.
