21 'White Whales' In A Single Day!? Is This Real Life?

[WillyC]

no wonder it took 10 years to track one down... nobody would have imagined 21 of 25 cards were still together in one batch.

Truly must have been a surreal moment when you saw them available.

very nice indeed.

sorry for the hijack of the thread momentarily @creasecollector but @oogabooga99 - you finished the Dubie Nameplate!?!?! i can't remember if you told me or not, but congrats.

@scottkoz20 Thanks!! I was able to successfully find and obtain all the pieces!! The last letter "B" was haunting me for a while haha. Thanks again for the help as well!~

@creasecollector I also apologize as I am abetting in the hijacking of your thread :)

I'm still blown away by how cool this is. As a player collector, it's almost a dream scenario getting to own the bulk of a print run of a low #'d card. I've posted my 7 of 10 Gorges UD High Gloss from 07-08 a couple times, and that's neat, but that's only 70%. You've got 84% in one shot! Haha

It was an amazing acheivement if I don't say myself! Can confirm: Was very cool

Wow is all I can say. Can’t imagine what it would be like to see that pop up. Not just one, but 21 of a white whale you have been on the hunt for. Woulda did the same; clean house and add to the collection. Now this card can still drive you a little crazy as you search for the other 4 ;).

Haha, I don't expect to own the other 4 - I'm honestly just happy enough to own 1 copy!

No worries at all, his nameplate is awesome!

Yeah, it was weird to see them together after all these years. Defintely explains why I haven't seen a copy all this time, but it also signals something must have happened way back when this cards were supposed to be packed out but were not for some reason. The mystery behind the cards makes it that much cooler.
