What's your white whale?

[Bruin7]

#1 2001 Bowman Chrome Albert Pujols Auto RC (mint is all it needs to be). It has nothing to do with the mighty power that is Pujols (well...maybe a little) but its because it was the first true coming and ultimate identity for Bowman Chrome Prospect Autographs.

#2 2008 Ultimate Collection Evan Longoria Auto/Jersey #99 (Mint is tough to find on these chipped cards). I guess as long as the front looks good and the auto doesn't run off the jersey I'd be more than willing to bid or pay for one.

#3 I've been thinking about number 3 for a while now; a more realistic white whale to locate. I'll get back to you on that one Zach.

The Super

Will be really hard to get it as Luc (The Jonny Gomes collector) has it.

I saw a card a few years back on Ebay that had the original HOF cut autos class of 1936! Card opened like a book and is by far the sweetest thing I have ever seen! The guy had it listed at $50,000 and it did not sell. I would pay $50,000 for that easy! If I had it that is.

My whale was captured in October 2006. $2k in cash, BGS 9 Wright 02 Chrome Xfractor 650$ Trade Value , BGS 9 Howard Bowmans Best Auto 650$ Trade Value = $3300 which landed me My all time white whale. I had been dying for it since the day i found out McGwire signed the UD auto Card contract that would enable UD to produce the card. And it's been in my greedy hands ever since, the one card that i can say that will never see the open market ever again. 4 years of waiting , and it was worth the wait.

SPEARED, CAUGHT, CAPTURED and LOCKED AWAY FOREVER

It also did not help that i was a freshman at college the year the card came out , so for about 3 years after that i did not have the money to go out and get one, Look at the previous sales, it was out of sight for a while.

Sent payment out today for my white whale. I'm going to keep everyone in limbo until I actually have the card. It's a big one and it will stay in my collection FOREVER. It broke my personal record for what I paid for one card.

Mine is an 02 D. Wright Gold Ref Auto. None have popped up in a while, and they're really expensive, but I hope to get one someday. If anyone knows of the whereabouts of one, besides ebay, please PM me (possible reward if I close a deal).

So, what are your white whales?

Zach

My white whale is the same. I've been able to pick up 2 regular refractors over the last few months, but I let one get by me a few months ago, and now there's none in sight. (Not sure I'd be able/willing to drop the funds right now anyways, so it's probably not a bad thing.)

A Reyes Gold Ref /99 would be nice as well.
