You'd be like a Hawaiian millionaire... sitting out on the lanai at sunset... shredding away. Keeping all your pc guys and selling your shipping container full of extras to Burbank.

Managed to pry these away from a fellow Rusty hoarder and got to mark some biggies off my list:

Elite Status

Leaf Certified Materials Gold

2002 Triple Crown HR Parallel /7 - Rusty was injured the previous year so he only hit 7 HR

And my second one of these - 2005 Topps Retired Auto Refractor /25

I never realized Greer's career was so short! He had a auto in 2005 Retired Signature, that's when he should have still been in his prime. I guess it's a better thing for you he didn't play longer; think of all those extra Diamond Kings 1/1s you'd need to chase down!

Picked up this 2002 Topps Chrome Black Refractor /50 Olerud recently for less than 1/3 the amount I had set a snipe for. I guess the auction might not have gotten much interest because it ended in the morning of a weekday, or maybe because the seller only had 10 feedback at the time. Whatever the reason, I'm not complaining!

Yeah, I've been having trouble finding another one. I actually have one or two, but man this issue is particularly condition sensitive (damage to edges and corners) for some reason. I don't know if they had trouble during production or what.

I have never seen one of Larkin. Kind of shocking considering there are 202 of them.

I always thought it was odd I hadn't seen one till now either though judging by the scan the foil is not over-done and could be easy to miss as the parallel isn't what I'd call "obvious". I suppose there could be a lot of unopened product sitting around too. Does anyone know if there were both a hobby and retail version of this released? I know I opened a ton of that stuff from ToysRUs back in the day and I don't remember pulling a single one

I don't have any of these myself. There's a few on COMC, mostly commons, and mostly in terrible shape. Perhaps these were pulled by Fleer because of condition issues? That would certainly explain the lack of these out there.
