I've got a few, but these three Osgoods are ones I've searched for over the past 12+ years or so..

1996-97 Pinnacle Mint Coins Silver #25
1997-98 Pinnacle Team Pinnacle Parallel Mirror J.Vanbiesbrouck/C.Osgood #10
1998-99 UD3 Die Cuts TE #171 /100

Just knocked off the UD3 Die Cut last night on the 'Bay after nearly 2 decades of searching! I also got the Team Pinnacle from a trader here 4-5 years ago, so the White Whale list is getting smaller and smaller!

Congrats on landing that Die Cut last night!

Welp after totally blanking and missing out on a 1 of 1 printing plate of Nikita Tryamkin Young gun and 2 of his high gloss cards. I will be sure that these two cards will be forever searched for unless I become lucky. Heres to having my fingers crossed and wishing the best of luck to everyone else and their searches

Thanks! She's a beauty:


The other one on my list I still can't track down, and it is definitely a white whale since I've had more sightings of it that turned out to be fake than I can shake a stick at:

1996-97 Pinnacle Mint Coins Fine Silver Chris Osgood

I've seen the Solid Gold coin 1/1 twice, but never seen the Fine Silver. Still haunts me...... Call me Ishmael!

I'm sure more plates will surface down the road :) Especially those Rookie plates. There is just so many!

I have two very elusive cards for my Taylor Leier collection. First, a 2014 Upper Deck Team Canada Juniors Taylor Leier black auto card #54 out of /5; and a 13-14 ITG Heroes and Prospects Taylor Leier Canadiana insert #C-TL.
These two Taylor Leier hockey cards are very elusive. Let me know if you can help. Cheers!

I am searching for the following cards during the last decade but have never heard if any of them really exists.
I would be happy at least to know if anyone saw them, and any information where I can get them will be highly appreciated.

UPDATE: After close to five years, I finally snagged my whale! (Off Ebay BIN, which I did not hesitate on bidding. Five years ago, I bid on another card on Ebay and the seller pulled the auction and sold the card to someone else.) Happy to finally get this one!

Here's my whale:



It is Martin Strbak from 2003-04 ITG VIP Rookie Debut set

Very nice! Congrats on finally hauling that whale into the boat after 5 long years!

I just saw my Brooks Laich too. Probably same guy who broke a set. I ordered it, so just waiting on delivery...
