Who is your White Whale auto?

An Aaron Rodgers signing was just announced but the cheapest items are around $400

When an athlete charges that much for a graph it's like a neon sign going on & off saying I hate to sign!

I guess I have a couple. Sandy Koufax (I've been in dodger camp and always just missed him), Lebron (I've tried over a dozen times for him and never gotten), Larry Fitzgerald, Calvin Johnson, Miggy Cabrera, Randall Cunningham (got him TTM but I wasnt IP to make sure they aren't secretarial), perhaps a few others like Griffey, Ichiro, Randy Johnson- guys from when I was a kid.

But, honestly, I've done a great job in the last 2-3 years of slaying my white whales: halladay, pujols, mike schmidt, brian dawkins, drew brees, etc.

2 incidents from my ST trip to Arizona in 2013 stick out to me:

1. To the Greg Maddux guy, you won't like this story. I was in AZ at spring training waiting for nolan ryan. This guy was next to me trying to get coaches to sign. A coach came over and signed 1 ball and as soon as he signed was gone before I could see who it was. And it was Greg Maddux.

We were the only 2 guys there so he clearly would have done 2 balls if he did 1, but I didn't realize in time.

I ended up getting Nolan Ryan AND mike trout that night, but still it kind of stung.

2. The dodgers had just signed yasiel puig and he was signing like crazy that spring. I have so many MLB balls of busted prospects though that I decided not to "waste" a ball on him. Obviously that didn't end well. He has snubbed me every meeting since.

oh its almost a fact with Rodgers. He hates signing for the public. Although I have heard of some exceptions. I hear he is really good with people in the Military, outside of the one incident a few years ago he is pretty good with Cancer patients/survivors, and he does a lot of Charity stuff.

I've always said that when the fans turned on Rodgers after the Favre debacle he turned against the Fans. I know he signed a ton of stuff for people his first few years in the league but then the Favre stuff went down and the Packers backed Rodgers and the Fans turned on him he turned his back on the fans so to say. It is well known that he holds grudges.

Try living in South Dakota. We just had a signing with a couple retired players but that is about it. Have to travel back to Wisconsin or make my parents get autos for me
