It's when a blue whale is surrounded by a lot of sharks. The blue whale gets scared and turns white.


....It's another name for a #1/1 card that Topps made up from their Triple Threads product.

It's pretty much a term used for a card that may have personal significance to someone and is one that they are possibly having a difficult time finding. When they finally get it, someone might say they landed their whale, or so on.

Slufan is right but I think the more specific answer was nailed by cjm. It looks a lot like a printing plate imo

It's a reference to Moby Dick. Captain Ahab was chasing the only thing that had ever eluded him, a white whale.
