Mine is Ruth. For many on this site dropping $3500 for a Ruth is not a big deal, but for me it will be a long time of saving!

And Bob Feller. That one has eluded me for years.

Greg, that is incredible. I would be soooooo excited if that was coming home with me. Congrats.
Congrats to you as well Joey. Nice Aaron.

My ultimate white whale would be a Gehrig check or similar.

I've got a couple white whales on my wantlist, a George Gipp signed photo and an immaculate Ty Cobb single signed baseball from his playing days with bold stampings on an OAL ball.

Mike,

I got two. A signed 1957 Clemente and the other is a signed Earl Averill Zeenut / PCL postcard. In the non HOF white whale category it would be a M116 Harry T Smith (distant relative)

That would probably suffice. When I worked for Notre Dame's Sports Information Department as a student worker in the early 90's, I got to go through a ton of old stuff they had stored away. Unfortunately, no camera phones for me back then. Was alone one night with some of the Heisman trophies in the office as the display was being renovated. Could have had some sweet selfies LOL

Mike,
That must've been pretty sweet to be around all that cool history.

While it's great to see the cool items people have obtained, I think, by definition, a white whale is something you are obsessed with that is unobtainable. If you got it, it is not a white whale.

I'm changing mine.
I have 2 one group and one solo.

1) Completing my signed 1934 goudey set. I think most can be found, but there are a couple I am not so sure exist and the 2 Gehrigs may be cost prohibitive.

2) As a single item, my white whale is a Lou Gehrig day ticket signed by Gehrig.

A 1941 Play Ball Ted Williams with a signature from around that time. I've seen signed Play Ball Williamses, but they were signed much later in life.

Picked up one of mine recently as well. I've always wanted a Cy Young, but I didn't want just another cut and am not particularly interested in letters. I wanted a card. Since I could never afford a true playing days card signed by him, this was the next best thing:

I hear ya on the Ruth (I'm assuming you were kidding on the Feller ).
Personally, I think it's crazy how some can drop thousands on a signature. I've come to the conclusion that I'm willing to purchase badly faded signatures for much less. I bought a Ruth on a team ball that is probably a 1 or 2 out of 10....it's badly faded, but it's there. And it only cost me about a grand. I can live with that.

By the way, my white whale would be a signed ball (team or single) of Cy Young.....hard to find and authenticate those.

It's not the most expensive of the gold HOF plaque postcards but I'd be ecstatic to get a Sam Crawford one of these days.
