The Card Papoy Nets a White Whale

A few weeks back I created a list of cards I dubbed "white whales" which is found on the right side of the home page. The list wasn't necessarily a want list, but more of a challenge to find cards that have proved to be elusive over the years. Not all of these are rare, but after many attempts to acquire I've either moved on, or haven't found another auction to bid on.

Thanks to Kevin I can already mark one off my list!

2014 Topps Heritage Bill Virdon Auto

This card proved that in order to be elusive you don't have to be super rare. Kevin told me he found this  copy via the Buy it Now function on eBay. I need to make it more of a point to check the BIN function. When I search for cards on eBay I always sort by auction. This is a nice reminder that deals can be found in multiple ways on eBay.

When 2014 Heritage released I saw that this card was on the checklist and knew that I wanted it. While Virdon is a very active signer at shows he doesn't have much in the way of certified autos. I didn't think it would take this long to finally have the card in hand, but the search is over!

Big thanks to Kevin for doing the leg work on this one. You shall be rewarded for your efforts! Perhaps I will send you my finest DONRUSS!!! and PRIZM!!! cards since you are a PANINI!!! super collector.

I've created a "Found White Whales" page in order to commemorate the glorious occasion of finding these pesky cards. 

Thanks for reading!
