I love that this thread is still alive 25 years after the release. I have all 90 Belle's and probably only 1/3 of the Diffractors. Still on the lookout. Good to see Toga too, love that guy. If anyone has Belle's let me know but figure they are dried up.

It would have been awesome if Topps printed a Joey Belle SP of Albert Belle in 1998 Topps TEK.

It's been a great year for my Erstad base set. Down to 3 remaining patterns:
4, 68, 86

12/90 Diffractors. Not sure I'll ever finish it but it'll be fun trying.

Which 3 Vlad patterns do you need?
There were three on your list. 31, 36, 55. I’m interested in all three. If you have more then I would be interested in all that you have
I’m currently at 62/90 Vlad cards but I have about 12 that could be upgraded. I posted the list on the buy sell trade thread. If there’s a chance we can make some sort of deal I’m happy to pay. Thanks for responding!

After all of these years, I'm still chasing the Scott Rolen (Card #88) run. I have dwindled the checklist down to needing just NINE more patterns to complete the Rolen set!

I come here, begging all of you FCBers, please...help me finish this set this year!

You can see my progress (with scans) here: The Rolen Collection: 1998 Topps Tek

I'm still looking for the following patterns: 15, 50, 53, 60, 61, 83, 84, 87, 88.

I have the following patterns available to trade: 2, 4, 5, 12, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 29, 33, 35, 41, 42, 45, 46, 48, 49, 52, 54, 56, 57, 62, 65, 66, 67, 70, 76, 77, 78, 79, 81.

I am willing to trade 2:1 in your favor for the patterns I still need.
