I am STILL looking for a 2001 Topps Chrome Retrofractors #146 Fernando Tatis for my Cardinals team set run. I have every single Topps Chrome Refractor except that one. Been looking for over 4 years now (I think).

I'm still looking for a ton of '10 and '11 Topps Heritage 3 card salesman samples. They appear on checklists but might not even exist. Unfortunately those are so thinly collected that they are rarely listed.

I have been looking for this card since I started collecting Hideo Nomo back in 1995.
1995 Upper Deck Electric Diamond Gold #226
I have every minor, rookie, 2nd year, and even Japanese cards but still can't find this one. I haven't even ever seen one on eBay, although I have not checked for one there in a while.

That figures, and at a time when I am layed off too. Although it did go for about twice as much as I'd be willing to go. Thanks for the bad news, but at least I know they are out there some where.

Default 1990 aqueous lance parrish
I have just about everything for my lance PC that's not a 1/1 except the one that has been evading me for years - 1990 donruss aqueous.

I had to take several years off due to being on disability and in cancer recovery and sold most of my money cards. ( thank god for my collection as it kept my family under a roof) however no lance ever left my home. Unfortunately the only one I have ever seen came up during that time I could not touch it.

If anyone has a lead on that aqueous it would be the final key needed.

Now that I have my health and my life back I would love to have that baby.

I collect mainly vintage cards but have always wanted to get a griffey jr 93 finest refractor. He was my favorite player growing up. It's not that hard to find, just a matter of being willing to spend the money.

I'd love to pick up his 89 upper deck in bgs 10, but can't justify paying for it either when I have a psa 10 already and could never tell the difference other than the holder.

Nothing overly rare or expensive. Just trying to find one in the desired grade and reasonable price:

1976 Hostess Dennis Eckersley
1978 Hostess Eddie Murray
1987 Kahn's Barry Larkin (the card "books" for $10 but a NM one just sold on Ebay for $21.50.)
1990 Fleer Canadian David Justice

I happen to know that Shane finally found this card. He bought a lot of close to 200 2001 Topps Chrome Retrofractors to find this one card. He managed to sell the rest for close to what he paid for him. He was willing to pay a large sum for the card, because he offered me a lot for mine. I'm glad he got it at a reasonable price.

Are there two versions of the 1985 McGwire refractor? One with a serial number and one without?

The toughest modern cards would be any BGS 9.5 or PSA 10 card that PWCC sells that isn't trimmed.

Too soon?
