Default Not a card,

Great topic. There are several cards on top of my want list that I don't consider white whales because they're out there for the taking, I just can't afford them.

My white whales are all in regards to the T206 set I'm trying to put together - I'm trying to complete the set with as few duplicate backs per team as possible. So I'm always chasing something different based on the backs I have / need per team. To that end, if anyone has an American Beauty Bill Carrigan available, let me know!

I have pipe dreams like finding a Broad Leaf 350 Cobb and being able to afford it. But I might as well dream of a Wagner at that point. In terms of rare cards I probably could afford if they showed up, 1933 Worch Cigar Medwick and 1924 Diaz Cigs Coveleski come to mind.

Great idea Jeff. My new white whale would be a cabinet photo of Bud Fowler. Going to be a tall order but hopefully someday.
