Some Great Whales here!! Hopefully one day I can land Other whales to my PC.

Some people may not consider this a whale, but the Mole card in my signature took me a while to get. it's from 03-04 St francis Xavier team issue.

Just thought I'd post up the pic of the whale from my last post not too long ago. From my Mike Mole PC.

My current quest is for any Neely or Ovechkin honorable numbers cards that I don't already have.
 
/10 cards are easy to come by when you collect someone like Crosby or Gretzky, but running into a Non-RC Cody McLeod /10 turns out to happen next to never:

Many just have white whales who care quite new produced cards like 2-3 years old.
Mine is 13 years old....!

I really want to harpooning my white whale since 1999!
98-99 Bowman's Best Atomic Refractor Tom Barrasso /100, impossible to find, I have multi /3 cards from same sets but yet that Atomic card never pops up at ebay anymore....last time seen was at late 2000.

In my opinion the first thing about white whales is that if you can tell it exists, it's not a white whale - that is, if someone you know already has one or you could buy one yourself, no matter what's the price, it's not a white whale.
 
This was my "white whale" for a while. I finally landed it back 2010... Was able to locate a show stamped version soon after...

Then this was a whale of mine, had only seen one of the five. Got this one in the past month from Shawn (djsports)

Now my white whales 03-04 UD Series 2 Saviors Patch and 03-04 Topps C55 Bazooka back. Then again, I consider anything lockout or earlier on my Turco wantlist to be a "white whale." Seeing as I only need a handful of his cards pre lockout...
 
Finally after 13 years!

Finally got one copy after 13 years of searching for that darn white whale of mine!
Has never seen this card before with Tom Barrasso (Platinum one was so much easier to get)

97-98 Score Penguins Team Issue Premiere Club - Tom Barrasso
Really stunning looking card in person, no photo/scan can justify the beauty of the card!

15 years of waiting finally over!

Yiihaa!

My stupid 15-years old white whale finally speared!
100-13.jpg

Only seen once earlier at ebay during 2001 or 2002 but ended up at whpooing
+$40, no way that I'll pay so that much more than the actual BV was I thinking then...

But guess what?

Of course I never managed to see a another copy of the card until recently when a member of a another board helped me with this card from a another member! The best part is that the card was very cheap $15!!!
THANK YOU SOO MUCH!

Easily one of my top-12 PC-cards ever!
