What's your white whale?

2001 Royal Rookies Miguel Cabrera SP auto (NOT the '00 Futures auto)- Books only $15 in Beckett, but I have never seen one. I am contemplating ordering a ridiculous amount of '01 Royal Rookies to see if I can pull one.

My white whale is currently up for auction on the bay....it will be fun to see how much it goes for in auction [first one I have seen that was not BIN/BO] but sadly this card will not be attainable for quite some time as I don't have $1000+ to spend on a baseball card...

I'm almost positive these were not produced.

For my EY collection pretty much any 1/1 I dont have, but the true whale would be to find a 98 Pacific Online Winners card of his...man that'd be sweet.

That's what I was thinking, then I saw it priced in Beckett with the small-print notation.

For me it would probably be the remaining Topps Sterling Letters I need in my sig, the "A" is on the bay now that I plan to grab. Then probably the Kazmir/Crawford Ultimate Dual Logo Auto which is on ebay, but I don't have the scratch for it right now.

One for each player:

J.P. Arencibia 2007 Bowman Sterling Red Refractor (Never seen it, probably never own it.)

Ben Grieve 2005 Prime Patches Laundry Tag and/or Button

I kind of have a tie for my white whale either a Justin Upton Exquisite Auto Patch /25 or his 2006 Bowman Chrome Blue Refractor.

1992 Colla collection auto Jeff Bagwell.Also the topps superstar sampler as well.

Do you have a website predatorkj or a link for a want list? I used to have a lot of Bagwell's. Nothing too amazing, but I may have something of interest.

I have been looking for the 2001 Topps Heritage Willie Mays 52 Autoproof for 10 years now. Topps inserted
25 of them into boxes and I have never seen one. Im willing to bet that close to 95% of 01 heritage boxes
have been opened too.

2002 Bowman Chrome Gold Refractor Jason Bay. there have been a few listed recently because of Bay's hot start to the season but I can't afford one yet. maybe some day.

I'm happy to say I landed mine a few months ago...

now my white whale is a Bay MLB Logo.

Kevin - as an Autoproof afficianado, I think I've seen at least 2-3 of them on ebay but it's been a few years. If I recall correctly they were boxloaders and not inserted into packs (or redemptions) like all the other Autoproofs, right? I'm fairly certain they went for well over $1K but I don't have any specific figures.

2008 exquisite football Tiger auto w/inscription 10/10.

 

[AmishDave]

All three cards of Josh Johnson;

I saw one of them and couldn't get a bid in

The other two I've never seen.

'06 Bowman Sterling Red Refractor 1/1. It went for only $62 or so

'06 SPx Auto 1/1

'06 UD Future Stars Red Ink Autograph /35. I am fairly confident that this card does not exist.

2006 Justin Upton Bowman Chrome Blue Refractor Auto. No matter how many times I try, I can never seem to win one. I even bought one at a show, dropped my cards and while picking them all back up, realized the Upton was gone.

I got one of those in a trade off the boards 2 years ago. Gave up a Prince Fielder 02 PP BGS 9.5 and a Jordan Schafer 2005 BCD Xfractor. I sold the Upton to a board member here.
