Your White Whale Cards

[Stl_Cardinals_Fan]

Thought maybe it would be nice to see some of your White Whale cards. These can be some that you have found, or some that you still need to find.

Mine would have to be this

2002 Upper Deck 40-Man Looming Large Jerseys Darryl Kile

While it may not be a very valuable card, it would be perfect for my collection, and I still need to find one....hint hint.

What about you all

I separate all the rookies and inserts when I break boxes/cases.

Earlier this year I put all my RCs in a program for purpose of getting insuance on them.
In doing so, I did what I like to do every year or so...grab a box of smaller rcs that I dont have listed and sift through for the shooting stars...I usually collect higher end stuff but some of the lower end shoot up unexpectedly also.

This January I found a few rows in a 3200 count box of 01 bowman...
It had:
Number Name Qty Team
236 Hank Blalock RC 5 Texas Rangers
256 Travis Hafner RC 2 Texas Rangers
264 Albert Pujols RC 1 St. Louis Cardinals
361 Justin Morneau RC 4 Minnesota Twins
397 Jake Peavy RC 2 San Diego Padres
430 Jose Reyes RC 3 New York Mets
plus many other minor RCS
I was a little bummed that I found 2-5 of all guys except pujols...lol

But hey....good find!!!
