What Card is your White Whale?

[mcn]

My white whale is a T330 Bill Killifer/Killefer to for a T205 artwork set.

I'm not going to say any of the Mantle's that I need to complete my run, because I feel like those will all be obtainable at some point in my life.

Oscar Charleston's Billiken issue. I love the history of our game, especially the history of the Negro Leagues. Charleston being one of the greatest players to lace them up, along with the mystique around him, has made me want one of his cards, but I love this issue particularly.

Also, while not a traditional card, the 1931 Harrison Studio's Josh Gibson post card, would also fit the bill. There's only one known copy of it, it's also double signed by Gibson himself, on the front and back.

Probably highest on my whale list are a couple of the really tough N172 cards I’m looking for - Browning, Shafer, Tyng and a Tiernan sliding CF variation. Those and an E107 George Davis.

1960 complete Bazooka box with Roberto Clemente. Posted a thread on it here for those interested:

To date the only known example!

It was bitter sweet as over the years the search kind of took on a life of its own which ended when I found it!

I have since identified another whale:

Back in the 80's Lew Lipsett ran an ad selling a nice collection of complete 1962 Jell-O boxes including one with Clemente. So I know at least 1 exists/existed. That is my new whale.

Then there are a few - "I don't know if they actually exist" items:

1961 Post cereal complete box with Clemente
1963 Post cereal complete box with Clemente
1962 Post Canadian uncut panel or complete box with Clemente


and the hunt continues!

Do you have the Wood and Blair? Here are the 3 stamps that are not in the T205 set.

Great stamps! I have a T202 Blair, and I'll likely do the same with Wood. They're a bit easier to get than the T330s.
