Mine would be late 1960s-early 70s Supersonics jerseys. Super rare and the few that pop up go for a ton. I've never seen any of the inaugural style jerseys even pop up for auction but I know a couple private collectors that have some.
Fielding gloves (game issued or used) of the following:
Keith Hernandez
Don Mattingly
Andy Van Slyke
Mark Kotsay
Bill Virdon
Rick Monday
JT Snow
Mark Grace
Jim Piersall
Richie Ashburn
some others, too
This is going to sound kind of silly, but I have been actively looking for a Carlos Guillen game used Road Tigers jersey since he retired six years ago. I was in on the bidding for the World Series jersey that came up in a Goldin Auction three years ago, but it got out of my price range. I have not seen one road jersey come up for sale/auction in that time period, aside from the aforementioned WS jersey.
Let me know if you have a lead mbrieve at yahoo dot com
Ken Stabler game used Oilers and/or Saints jersey.
I actually acquired two of my white whales recently: a Seattle Seahawks Kenny Easley game used jersey from the 1985 season, and a game used Superbowl 48 football (and yes the laces did have a dye that lit up under black light).
I suppose the one piece that I would consider a White whale would be a Largent Gamer from the 80s.
I have been looking for these 2 jerseys for almost 30 years. Finally purchased both of them this past weekend. A 1989 Cleveland Indians #45 game worn jersey of Brad Komminsk and his 1983 Atlanta Braves #7 game worn jersey. Thanks to Howard Wolf for letting me purchase the Indians jersey!
I have mine and I am guessing it is one of only a few in existence. A Paul Pierce GU Kansas Jayhawks jersey.

This was my whale.... by dumb luck it popped up at a thrift store and even then it wasnt known what it was and i got luck and happened upon it.
I guess as long as crazy things like this can happen the next what is a 86 rookie Kelly :)
Two for me.
Gerard Williams, a defensive back who wore #45 with Washington (1976-'78), #29 with San Francisco (1979 and '80), #29 with St. Louis (1980), and #30 with the Birmingham in the World Football League in 1974 and #33 in 1975.
Alfred Jenkins who wore #84 for Atlanta (1975-1983) and #80 with Birmingham in the World Football League in 1974.
