Hi,

I was going through my collection and realized that there is a certain card for my collection that I have never even SEEN before. Got me to thinking- anyone else having the same issue?

The card for me is 2010-11 Victory RED Taylor Hall Can't even find a picture of one. To make it more difficult, I'd need 1 that would grade BGS 9.5 or better to match the others I have. (Base, Gold, Black)

Share your "unseen needs" - who knows, maybe someone will have a card that another member will need.
 
My biggest whale just showed up on ebay recently, but these 3 cards have eluded me on HI/SCF/BO/Ebay

09-10 OPC Retro Blank Backs #460 Kyle Wellwood
12-13 Score Black Ice #489 Kyle Wellwood
13-14 Score Red Back #547 Kyle Wellwood
 
2013/14 Ryan Murphy Cup Shields. He was supposed to have 2 duals and a single rookie auto shield. Never seen any of them, which leads me to believe they weren't made, but who knows.
 
2007-08 Black Diamond Alex Tanguay Gemography SP
2008-09 SP Authentic Triple SOTT w/ Koivu, Higgins, Tanguay xx/25

I am fairly certain I saw a Gemography when it first launched, but have never seen once since. I have never seen the Triple AU, although I believe I heard that it was originally a redemption, so it is likely that it was never made, if that is indeed the case
 
I love a good White Whale thread. I'm in! Here's a few cards I haven't even seen a photo of. Would love to track them down one of these years for the Enroth PC.

2009-10 Artifacts Rookie Black #179 Jhonas Enroth /5
2009-10 Ultra Rookie Ice Medallion #221 Jhonas Enroth /25
2009-10 SP Game Used SIGnificant Numbers #SNJE Jhonas Enroth 1/1
2009-10 The Cup Gold Rainbow RPA #141 Jhonas Enroth 1/1
2009-10 Black Diamond Onyx #211 Jhonas Enroth 1/1
 
One of mine is also a 1/1, that I suspect is tucked away in a Roy PC and will never find its way to me. The other I have never seen pop up:
97/98 Donruss Elite Prime Numbers Die-Cut #2C /9
97/98 Upper Deck Game Jersey Autograph /33
98/99 SPX Top Prospects Patrick Roy Spectrum 1/1
01/02 UD Premier Collection Signatures Black /5
02/03 Stadium Club St. Patrick Relics Dual Patch Auto /5
 
If I remember correctly the Reds in 10-11 were fat packs exclusive. Therefore, Hall being included only in the Series 2 update, wouldn’t have a red version.

For me it is a multi coloured swatch for Scottie Upshall SPX rookie.I just find it strange that so many player that year can be found with 2 and even 3 colour swatches. But mine are either all white, or all black. So where ever they were cutting these swatches from. The white and black must come together.So I am thinking there must be a two colour out there some where.But I have not seen one in my almost 18 years of looking. But I will keep looking.
 
2005/06 Hot Prospects Andrew Ladd En Fuego 1/1 (his only Hurricanes Shield card).

But at least I own his only Blackhawks Shield card :p
 
Have to go back a long way for mine, but the 1984-85 Capitals Pizza Hut oversize card of Scott Stevens. They were given out to kids locally, so I doubt many are around almost 40 years later. But I have the 1985-86 issue, and I've seen some 1984-85 listings of other players, so I still have hope that one will turn up eventually. I have every other item on my Scott Stevens checklist through 1994-95.
 
There's a few:

1996-97 Score Golden Blades Winners Punched #246 Jere Lehtinen
2001 Upper Deck EA Sports Gold #4 Jere Lehtinen
2002-03 BAP Signature Series Autograph Buybacks 2000 #123 Jere Lehtinen
2003-04 Upper Deck Victory Gold #58 Jere Lehtinen /25
2005-06 Upper Deck Victory Black #64 Jere Lehtinen /5
2006-07 Stars Team Postcards #11 Jere Lehtinen
2008-09 Upper Deck Champ's Mini Blue Backs #C74 Jere Lehtinen
2008-09 Upper Deck Victory Black #135 Jere Lehtinen

2011-12 SP Authentic Universal Distribution Promos #R86 Harri Sateri (not sure if exists)
2011-12 Upper Deck Young Guns Spectrum #238 Harri Sateri /10
 
I've seen and/or know where most of the white whale cards are for my Erik Karlsson and Victor Hedman PC but I've never seen the Hedman Ultimate Rookies Shield 1/1. It's probably buried in a Hedman PC somewhere. Hopefully one day it does appear and I'm in a position to make a serious play for it :beer:
 
I have a lot on my want list that I have never seen, but i know are out there. Cards like blank backs, show stamped, BD gold and Score black. The three below I have never been close to seeing and I search multiple times a day across several platforms.

2009-10 Collector's Choice Reserve Prime #201 Saku Koivu/ Bobby Ryan/ Ryan Getzlaf
2009-10 Trilogy 1-2-3 Clearcut Combos #CC305D Carey Price/ Devin Setoguchi/ Bobby Ryan Attribute(s): Att: AU, S# /10
2015-16 SP Authentic Sign Of The Times 8 #ST8ONT Dion Phaneuf/ Jonathan Bernier/ James Van Riemsdyk/ Brad Boyes/ Bobby Ryan/ Andrew Hammond/ Curtis Lazar/ Kyle Turris Attribute(s): Att: AU, S# /5
 
I know you asked for player collectors, and I used to be one. But after I shifted away from that, I don't really have any "white whales" that I haven't seen for my Caps RC PC.

That being said, there is one card from my set-collector side that I've never seen live, and have only ever seen one redemption for.

2015-16 OPC Platinum #187 Noah Hanifin Auto RC

I have two copies of the rainbow parallel, and one copy of the seismic gold, but never have I ever seen the base Auto RC.
