I am still looking for the 1989 Topps Heads Up test of Ozzie. Have seen 2 on ebay, one i was second place bidder. The other was a BIN I didn't see till after it was hit.

Ooooh! Can you pleeeeease tell me the difference between the regular version and the "test" version? I still need the Test version of the Topps Heads Up Bo Jackson, but don't know the difference. Thanks

I'm also looking for these impossible to find serial numbered parallels:

2005 Studio Portraits Bo Jackson White-Black&White #/5 (Have never seen 1)
2005 Studio Portraits Frank Thomas White-B&W #/5 (was outbid on 1 on E-Bay)
2005 Topps Finest Print Plates #1/1 (Magenta & Yellow, I have the Cyan & Black ones).
2005 Topps Finest White Refractor and X-Fractor#1/1 (never seen, I have the #1/1 Superfractor)

1982 Ajax Dog Food

I had seen in my older SCD Annual that Ajax Dog Foods were issued in 1983 and 1984. I picked up a 1984 Gaetti last year--after never seeing one ever. Current SCD Annuals don't list the Ajax sets anymore (unauthorized).

For my Gary Gaetti collection, I rarly find some of his coaches' cards from the early 2000's, and the mid-90's Police sets. Anything 80's from his Twins days I'm pretty well set.

I have yet to see any of these 4 Ryan Braun cards ...

2009 Topps Allen and Ginter "RED INK" AU
2010 Topps Allen and Ginter "RED INK" AU
2010 Topps 206 "Polar Bear" AU
2010 Topps 206 "Old Mill" AU

I'm sure the "RED INKS" are out there somewhere but the 206 cards....well I doubt they even exist. My best guess is they intended to make them and put them on the checklist but failed to actually produce the cards. Would love to track any of these down!

Granted I haven't looked terribly hard yet, but for the Eddie Murray collection:

1977 Orioles Postcards #15
1977 Orioles Photo Album #22
1978 Hostess #31
1978 Orioles Postcards #22
1978 RC Cola Cans #75
1978 Royal Crown Iron-Ons #73

There's a '78 Hostess on eBay right now but it's slabbed "Authentic" and $15 + $5 shipping seems really high for that.

I honestly have no idea which year the Rickey is from, as I've seen it listed anywhere from 1982-1984. I've only seen it on eBay twice, so authorized or not, it's pretty hard to find.

This is a Grace 1989 Topps Heads Up Test Issue. Grace is easy to tell because he wasn't in the 1990 regular issue. For players that were in both, it's the copyright line on back that lets you know. 1989 is test, 1990 is regular. Everything else is identical.

I have a few Puckett oddballs I have been looking for.

1. 1989 Topps heads up test --- Never seen it
2. 1989 Key foods disc -- seen it a couple times but always miss it.
3. 1990 Donruss Aqueous Tests --- Never seen either of them(if they exist)

I am also looking for the 1996 Select Certified Mirror versions. I have seen the red twice but didn't have the money and I have never seen blue or gold. I would love to get at least one of them.

examples of two aqueous Pucketts can be seen at http://www.twinscards.com, so they do exist.

I found this on the PSA board

Can we keep politics off the baseball card boards? Whether or not I share similar opinions is irrelevant to this entire topic. kthanks

Back to the topics, I'm still getting back into completing the Thome collections, but the cards which I haven't even sniffed at finding are:

1990 ProCards Burlington Indians #3018 (I've seen two graded, but I have no desire for graded cards)
1991 ProCards Canton-Akron Indians #989
1997 Colorado Springs SkySox All-Time Team Issue #8

smapdi · Mar 29, 2011

This card is up there with A&G Woods and Superfractors and whatnot on my wantlist:

It's from some sort of package that was sold in Targets, I think, for about 2 seconds in 2008, possibly regionally. It was some sort of "Back to School" package that contained a few packs of base Topps and some of these unique cards. The photo is different from regular 2008 Topps. I only saw this one once back then and was either outbid, or it was a BIN, for about $15.

Just dug up some more info. The whole set is pretty cool. Put the Ichiro/Moose card on my list, too.

Those are pretty easy to find if you search descriptions on ebay. Search for 'High 5 decal (player last name)'

Still in package:
