I found 26 packs @ the lcs covered in dust! I ripped them all and posted them by number in the transactions page. Got a reserve collection Frank Thomas for $2 from the same place;)

Triple J? I also stopped by Nicks which is a nice shop but his cards are organized by players except for the vintage years and too hard to find individual cards of certain individual sets like 98 TEK

You might have to pay for those - they are some of the most expensive ones!

Im a patient 1998 Topps TEK diffractor set builder and yes there is Jeter, Big Mac, Ripken, Griffey on that list but some I would have thought would have been relatively easy to come by like Brady Anderson, Galarraga, Glaus, Manny Ramirez but I havent been really making an active push. Those two Nomar and Loftons refractors were the first two Ive found in over a year since I traded for a Gwynn

Ultra Pro make a great 10 page binder that stores 90 cards..Perfect for the player collectors and set builders for 1998 TEK
[MENTION=2699]togaman[/MENTION] - Carl, can you point me in the right direction on this? I could find some Ultra Pro 10-page binders on ebay, but the sheets only had four slots instead of nine. If you know of a place online I can look, plmk.

I probably have diffractors of all the Rockies players in this set - let me try to find what I have and list them. May take a while I have no clue where they are in my collection lol.

I bought the Ultra 90 card 10 page binders (perfect for 98 TEK sets) at one of the local shops in Houston and saw them last week so I would not think they they are hard to find

There was a lot of 43 base cards including stars like I have on ebay that sold recently. That lot was $60-thats $1.40 per card
I have 94 base I believe. Iincluding Jeter, Griffey, Ripken I think and so on. I'm thinkin $110 for the lot- thats $1.17 per card

Should be able to get $40 ea as a bin on ebay for the diffractors. I'll take $25ea if you want the whole lot.

So $160 for the lot. That ends up being $50 less that what I figure I can get on ebay for it. OBO... want these off my desk!
