My White Whale would be this cigar box. Not only does it feature one of the great Chicago Cubs pitchers of all time, they were made in Terre Haute, Indiana where I was born and raised. To add to this story, when I was very young, an elderly couple lived across the street from my family. The man would always sit on his front porch and watch us play baseball in the yard. One day he called me over and told me he used to work at a gas station in Terre Haute that was owned by Three Finger Brown. I didn't know who that was at the time, but of course later learned all about him. I also was able to acquire photos of the service station.

Thanks Mike, but I only know of one that exists. Halper had it, then whoever bought it from that auction, sold it several years later at REA. But you never know!
