I hit 2 on Rich's new list and did 2 fist pumps like I just threw a PG. There is nothing better in the '98 Topps Tek chase than when you get (or have incoming) a card that will complete your 9 pocket page. Only 7 to go now, this is the year I can feel it!

Hang in there MansGame, that next Belle Tek card could be just around the corner. The longest home run me and my son ever saw together was a Belle home run back in the 90's when the Indians played an exhibition game at the Nashville Sounds Stadium. He crushed it!:)

Hello, I am new to this site but have been active on others. I am working on the Sandy Alomar Jr. 1998 Topps Tek set.

I have the following: 7, 18, 26, 28, 31, 33, 39, 43, 52, 56, 57, 58, 59, 65, 67, 80, 81

If anyone has any not listed, I am definitely interested.

I need to find my box of singles and post up the cards I have again. Feel like people need to do that every like 6 months or so because we do get new members in here and a lot of people aren't going to go back through 1,800 posts to read everything.

For what it's worth, I'm still looking for four base patters of Albert Belle for 1998 Tek and clearly would love any diffractors. Speaking of diffractors, I have one double of Albert Belle, so if someone would be kind enough to swap Belle diffractors with me if they don't care about pattern, I'd like that too.

I can't see those selling for even 10% of what he is asking for them. Dream on.

I have 34 different Thome diffractor patterns. At that fellow's price, that's $17,000.00 worth of Thome diffractors. I also have all eight of the patterns he's offering. What are the odds of that? There is most definitely an uneven printing distribution of diffractors. I see this all the time.

Look @ the background on the bottom row 2nd card. Brutal.

Funny, I was thinking last week how cool it would be to have one, just one Thome diffractor. Never even seen one for sale before. Then I see these 8 Thome diffractors for $3,999.99! Juuuuuust A BIT OUTSIDE my budget. This seller had sold a McGwire diffractor for $100 before so it's hard to see how he/she came up with this price. $399.99 would have been more realistic. Fun to watch though.:D

For me to hit 90% of Belle's cards, I have to get the remaining base patterns and some more diffractors. Probably only way I get to that milestone.

I've made what I feel is considerable progress on Troy Glaus, and I'm still only at 38/90, plus 1 Diffractor. Gets very tiring to see 8-10 copies of the same patterns, and some just never show up.
