1/1s---white whales

[bearfield]

i have seen enough 1/1s in the last month that i don't think they should be considered white whales any more.
its almost that 1/1s are becoming common.
its getting so that every day or so someone picks one up or is selling one.
and some are selling rather cheap.
am i right about that?

[thunda99]

not so true. u stillget the ap,quinn,hall of famers, that sellhigh. i have two

[bearfield]

but the larger percentage are not high priced.
you made my point, you have 2, doesn't that make them sort of common?

[cettin]

You get 2 hit per 9 box case which is triple relic auto and 1/1 on average so I see how can be alot differnt types 1/1 white wales.

[K.Pop]

But its still one 1/1, why would alot of 1/1 make the value go down...it is a 1/1 afetr all, so knowone else would have. I dunno I never pulled a 1/1 before.

[cettin]

Might be 5 differnt type 1/1 for any player.

most 1/1 like plates are scams as there are mutiple copies of those plates, like up to 5 or 6 for each color in case of printing issues they have a back up. you ever notice how nice and clean the plates you pull these days are so nice clean and crisp thought htey were made to produce the card they were never actually used in the process, they should be ink stained and beat up, #'d cards and game used/auto's are ruining the hobby
