Let's Have Some More Fun - Post Your White Whale List

[RGM81]

OK so that S&T thread went pretty well. :)

Let's see if we can help each other out here - post up 3-5 cards that you consider to be the "white whales" of your collection-building efforts. Certainly there's got to be some opportunity here to get a deal or two rolling that can really help a collector get a card into their PC that they've been chasing for a long time now.

This is totally an open thread - post up those cards you've been looking for with no success, and hopefully somebody who drops in will see a card they have and think, "This belongs to a good home."

I'll kick us off with a couple of my Gorges needs:

2014-15 O-Pee-Chee Retro Blank Backs #155 Josh Gorges
2013-14 SPx Winning Trios Patch #W3LBBR Josh Gorges/Carey Price/P.K. Subban
2013-14 Upper Deck Team Canada High Gloss Gold #144 Josh Gorges

I have literally never seen any one of these cards to date. So any help on this would be awesome.

Another one I'd love to land - I do see a copy pop up once in a blue moon but they disappear just as quickly:

2011-12 Upper Deck UD Canvas Autographs #C46 Carey Price /31

Working on a 14-15 OPC platinum rainbow of Darnell Nurse (on and off - sold a few of the non auto cards and now looking to right a wrong). Ever since I started I don't ever recalling seeing either one of these 2 cards available. These 2 would be my biggest white whales
