But it looks like you still paid at least $100 each? That's enough to scare us off from some of our PC guys.

I think the view of Beltre has really changed over the past year or two. He's now a shoo-in HOFer. There was a 1999 Tek Gold /10 on COMC for over a year at $15. It wouldn't last one day at that price now.

TEK ALERT! Burbank added a bunch of Tek to Beckett recently. I just snagged all the Diffractors, but they were commons. I shudder to think what was available if I got the leftovers.

Anyway, a bunch of base listed. Good luck!

I haven't picked up a Buhner I've needed in forever, and the same even goes for Griffey despite needing several. I went maybe ten months or more without finding any Diffractors, but all of a sudden I've found about eleven just in the past month from three sources. Weird stuff, but that's how it goes.

I went a couple months without seeing a Biggio base pattern i needed and I'm only in the 50s but I've scooped two in the past two weeks. Seems like a couple big dealers might have found some boxes stashed somewhere, or bought someone's collection.

And my hot streak continues... I won a Mo Vaughn Diffractor at auction with free shipping last night for $3.25. I haven't won an auction that low since probably 2012, if ever.

Congrats to Jim Thome, Vladamir Guerrero, Chipper Jones and Trevor Hoffman for being elected to the HOF... That makes 17 players from 1998 Topps TEK set (Hoffman wasn't in it) who are now HOFers.
