What's your white whale?

[MOFNY]

I thought a "white wale" was a rare card which you've been trying to track down for years? A card that on any given day 2-3 copies can be had doesn't exactly fall into this category.. Most of this thread is simply a "want list" of cards that are readily available. Just saying

I agree...and I will take it one step further...I thought it was only one card. Therefor I have yet to snag my white whale, which is why I never use the term.

I wouldn't go quite that far. For me, there were two cards, well-known to player collectors but extremely rare and desirable. I never thought I'd see, much less own either of them. I would have considered them my WW1 and WW2. Now that I've picked up the Aqueous Test, I'm left with just the Diamond King Super.

This just further demonstrates that the term is what each of us decides, just as our collections...

Edited to say that my girlfriend actually told me to increase the snipe I set for the Aqueous Test card this spring because she knew how much it would mean to me. Now *that's* a keeper!

Hah, that's awesome I had to "secretly" buy my Aqueous Ripken so my gf didn't know how much I spent. I told her later though.
