Some of my White Whales are some very hard to find ProSign auto's from my 02/03 Upper Deck MVP master set. Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett are the big names and I haven't ever seen one of them yet. Also still chasing 4 more Triple Dimension GU cards to complete that set. At least I already have the highest priced one
Anyway, here's some of mine that I've harpooned (and most have been this year) -
Jameer Exquisite RC
Would love a Dwight Exquisiste RC, but due to price, this was a much cheaper option.
Jameer Nelson Ultra Seasons Crowns Auto - I have been chasing one for ages, and then I won a lot with these in them. And also to have secured 3/15 (20%) of the Gold parallels has been amazing. Just spewing I missed out on the silver variation. Still chasing that whale.
Jameer Sweet Spot Auto - An autograph on a baseball. Enuff said.
Jameer Exquisite Signature Shots - Saw a few of these in 2005, but wasn't able to win them at the time. Then I saw another one listed, and managed to win it, ironically about a week or 2 before I ended up winning Jameer's Exquisite RC.
Fleer Tradition Dwight/Jameer Patch - This was one of the reasons I busted som many Fleer Tradition boxes (probably about 10). Have only seen 1 or 2 for sale, and finally won this.
Dwight/Bogut Portraits Dual Auto - This is an example of the whale jumping straight into the boat, without much searching.
and the last one
04/05 Howard Sweet Shot Signature Shots - When I saw this set, I knew I had to have a Dwighty. Well I have been fortuante, and have myself a card, which didn't take as long as others to locate.
i dont think people are understanding what a white whale is, i doubt if more than a handful even know its a reference to Moby Dick (and no not the Led Zeppelin song, the book).
