Never done a "white whale" thread before, but.......
...this is probably the biggest of the whales for me. Has been at the top of my list since it came out. First one I have seen in several years. Did I pay too much, probably. Do I care? NO! Finally found its rightful place in my Kurri collection.
I collect: Kurri, '70s Kelloggs and Topps hockey(also OPC), football, and baseball cards, vintage stars and World Series subset cards.

That's a beauty card, you've got some sweet luck there sir! Amazing to think of how many cards are locked up in collections all over the world, never to see the light of day again...................

brian045: Thanks. Yeah, been a long time on this one, never thought another one would surface. Just glad I saw it before I missed out on it.
Andrew: Thanks man. Was hoping you would see this one, and yes, one of the toughest additions in the whole collection. Doing well here, hope all is good up your way.
87sluggo: "Amazing to think of how many cards are locked up in collections all over the world, never to see the light of day again..................." You are absolutely right, and that is exactly what I was afraid of on this one.
one20: Yeah, guess those guys did dent the ol' twine a few times between 'em. A print run of 30. Remember when that was really short printed haha. Heck, been so long on this one that I think you were still living here when it came out. Hope things are good with you.

I guess a print run of 30 with Gretzky, Kurri, and Robitaille would be like a print run of 5 on Hull. Can't imagine how many people out there PC those guys. Nice you were able to land a copy for your collection.
Back when this card came out we were still having some epic 7 game series of bubble boy hockey on the superchexx. Man time flies.
