What is your "White Whale"?

Landed in November 2018. Never thought I'd own such a nice copy (the grade is laughable)

[ValKehl]

While I could name any of several WaJo cards as my whale, being as I am working on a master set of Sam Rice cards, of the Rice cards that I don't have but I know exist, the one I'll likely never have in my collection is his 1917 D350-2 Standard Biscuit card.

Any Rose PC and E107 Yankee

1929 Kashin R316 Gehringer, Ott and Grimes in NM or better

Looking for autographed PSA/DNA or SGC or GAI or JSA slabbed or with Cert.

Will take a signed one raw with solid provenance.

Mike,

I'm sure someone can get one signed in the next couple of days and then have a cert for it in the next week or so..... sorry, gotta pile on the signed slabbed card craze...

Thanks Fred, no sweat. That whole T206 scandal really sucks and I'm sure has creeped into other areas. MOST of my 1961s come with stories or provenance but I guess you really never know.

Take care,

Mike

PS SMR magazine is running an article on my personal 1961 set in the February PSA SMR, I was emailed today by PSA about the article. They had called me many months ago and I thought it might never run but its coming soon!

No sh*t. That's an amazing looking 1.

Dan, from that pic, the card is clearly undergraded. What’s the issue that gave it a low grade, because it looks like 5?

You got me. It does have a moderate amount of caramel staining and a wrinkle on the reverse that shows through on the front chest under certain lighting where the card is almost see through due to a caramel stain. Honestly, that's it. PWCC agreed and gave it a "High End" sticker for whatever that's worth, but I bought it from a board member. I consider myself lucky because I couldn't have afforded even a PSA 2 more than likely

It’s a great looking card. And that’s why we buy the card and not there grade.

One of the nicest looking low grade CJ Cobbs I have ever seen, great eye appeal, trumps the grade.

I appreciate that Peter!

Marty,

I passed on a Gibson 1904 Montreal PC about 8-10 years ago since it had some condition issues. Haven't seen another.

[MartyFromCANADA]

So it does exist. Wasn't sure if it was in PC form. I've only seen the image in a book. Was the seller on Net 54?

Thanks for the info Patrick.

Marty.
