My White Whale: 1/1 Dwight Howard Autographed Jersey Printing Plate

In the world of sports cards, a white whale is a card that you have decided to be a must have for your collection. It might not be valuable to others but for you, your collection is incomplete without it.

However, acquiring it is very difficult because it seldom comes up and chasing that card might sometimes take you years.

My Upper Deck Exquisite Collection Buyback Redemption Cards

The 2009-10 Exquisite Collection was Upper Deck's last Exquisite release (for now at least) after Panini was able to grab hold of the NBA sports cards licensing monopoly.

In the product, Upper Deck bought back old Exquisite cards from the previous releases and have them signed by various players.

Redemption cards were then issued for these buybacks.
