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

Too soon?

You have to wonder how many of the pack pulled items on these wantlists are

1). Still sealed in unopened packs
2) In collections of people who don't trade or sell anything
3). Buried in dime boxes in shops somewhere that don't use computers or think to sell stuff like that online, where the local buyers have no interest and there they will sit forever

I know I have a lot of stuff that I happened to pull from packs, grabbed in dime boxes or were included in larger lots that I just sorted away. I doubt I have any of the elusive stuff, but you never know. I have thousands upon thousands of cards sorted by player, across many, many different boxes. My ultimate goal one day is to have them all combined, so that if I need to look for a Jeff Frye or Terry Steinbach card, they will all be in one spot. I finally did it with my Dodgers, but everything else is far from fully sorted.

I spotted the 1994 Topps BlackGold ABCD redemption card on COMC a few days ago for $50 (from Jim Beckett's account), bought it and repriced it at $135, and it sold a few hours later. So many of these are still out there, but you've got to swoop in immediately when you see it if you want it.

That was a good pick up John. I like to collect variations with my sets. The 93 and 94 Black Gold sets and checklists seemed easy to me until someone pointed out all the checklists could be found either certified or uncertified. Getting all of the uncertified CLs was tough and a little expensive. I like those sets

I am always looking for the 1989 Fleer Wade Boggs No Dot variation. It is the top card in the pic without the dot after Right on the card back.

Yes, the redemption cards were pack inserted. The ones with Certified on them were returned by Topps with the complete set redemption and are more common, but you can't get those from packs. You can find them in collections though.
