Now I only need these 2:
1996 Collector's Choice Gold Signature #401 Barry Larkin TC
1996 Select Certified Mirror Gold #41 Barry Larkin

Also Picked up a 1998 Card that had eluded me for a long time. i think this card looks awesome in the scan. It is a 1998 Studio 8x10 Gold Press Proof /300.

Burbank didn't have any of the pacific ones?

Burbank had a bunch of stuff, cheap, which I bought last week. The list above is nowhere to be found. Some of it, rightfully so, because they are pretty rare overall. The other stuff....who knows.

It's so frustrating to be so close to completion, yet so far away.

It's been awhile since I've been able to add one to the PC:

I saw that! Keep hoping someone I need will turn up on COMC; so far it's been mostly scrubs.

So far I've picked up this and the Thome off COMC.

Good luck to ya brother! I know Burbank has been pretty dang good lately about having harder to find pacific stuff. Nothing major and nothing all that rare. I mean some of their(Pacific) stuff was a dime a dozen as far as the hobby seems to be concerned. They get no love. But it's pesky stuff that feels damn good to be done with.

I saw that too! Did you hit it at $10 or make an offer? If it had been a cool pic of Buhner I would have taken it. Like that little picture in the bottom right of the card - why didn't they use that action shot? Sigh...

Made an offer. I was tempted to pay full price but I saw it a day after it was posted so I figured you'd seen it already and passed.

You absolutely have to see the best scans of EPIX cards ever.

He took a neg to make $4K...........I still think that open auction goes for higher.

RustyGreerFan · Sep 24, 2012

Seems like a nice buy. I was the second-highest bidder. Seller used the dreaded first initial instead of spelling out the name:

Dufex, anyone?

RustyGreerFan · Sep 24, 2012

Now every time I see those I think of that georgegorilla seller that tears 'em in half to make the remaining ones "more rare" :lol:

I was watching this one and wasn't around a computer. I probably wouldn't have gone over 50 but I was disappointed to see it go for so low.

BunchOBull · Sep 24, 2012

While I'm mostly a player collector, I also chase the random oddball set from time to time, one such chase ended today with the receipt of Kirby Puckett in the 1995 Pinnacle Pins Redeemed set. This is actually the 3rd Puckett I've purchased, but first to make it to my doorstep. The first was lost in transit, another went unsent by a seller who was shortly thereafter NARU'd, but this one made it, and for 1/5th of the price I've seen it sell before. Patience is a virtue.

This wasn't an easy project and wouldn't have been even if I had been willing to pay insane prices for these little guys...some of them rarely come around.
