That pattern# 88 Buhner looks good as diffractor.
My four Buhner diffractor pattern #s are 42,45,64,86
When I finish diffractor sets 2 and 3 diffractor (14 and 35 cards to go) I will make the fourth Buhner available for sale
No way... That's all I'm saying about that.

Hi Carl... I met you in Houston a couple weeks ago at Howard Lau's place on Westheimer and we talked about Astrso and baseball card collecting and was surprised to find you were one of those guys who stayed the course and finished the 98 TEK set. I remember those two girls who had a ton of TEks that got us both interested in TEKs but I think they moved away and no idea where to. I bought five or six boxes from them back in early 1999 that I broke open and opened a bunch of other TEK packs and then realized there was no way I had the money or time to chase all the 8100 cards so I gave up and put the cards away. I lost interest in collecting around 2001 and just started going through some of my old boxes stashed away and am going to get back in slowly. I guess the Astro resurgence got me excited about baseball and collecting again . That and Bagwell up for HOF. Hope he makes it this time... I was able to finish just one TEK set and have around 400-500 extra cards with 35 diffractors. I see you are trying to do 2 more Diffractor sets. How many diffractors do you have? Does that mean even though you did all 8100 you only were able to finish one Diffractor set. With all this nutty bidding on diffractors on ebay I am not going to ever try do a set of those so I will certainly keep you in mind for all my diffractors if you need them. I will email you what I have and send you a list of what I need from your extras listed above. Are you on any other trading sites that you would recommend? I just joined this one today ..Any suggestions for a site with a lots of trading? I recall you mentioned something about the Bench and Blowout Card and I just started buying some missing cards for sets from COMC that you suggested I check out.
Have fun on your trip . No rush. I will hold the TEKs for you and we can meet for lunch when you get back and do a big swap if that is ok. Howard and several other guys in that card shop speak highly of you as an honest long time collector in Houston. A geologist right? We have something in common there too being in the oil business. I think we may have actually played softball agsinst each other back at Softball Country Club bacd in the mid 80s...We might even know some of the same people. Wayne B
Thanks for giving me those mlb poker Chipz and for a few of the Focus 2000 mania cards. Seem like we have some of the same collecting interest. I too like those 2012 colored Bowman Platinum Refractors. That was very generous of you so thanks for the Chipz and two of the numbered to 50 Gold Refractors. Don't know why I started those poker chipz..
I went on ebay and see listing prices way higher than what Beckett says the value are for TEk diffractors. I did a search of completed listing where sellers tried to sell boxes for $500 but dont see any actual buys at those prices so whats up with that? But looking closer it seem like the same four or five people seem to be bidding on the diffractors with some of the star prices like one I think went for over $150 for a Jeter diffractor. Is that real or is someone manipulating prices?
Anyway I just notice you are going on vacation but if you check here or check your email I will send a copy of this message to your togatx@aol address along with a list of my extra TEK cards. You have quite a few on your list above I can use and I would be happy to trade you diffractors from those two sets you are looking to complete. I think I have some extra pattern #1s and the Same Card number and pattern number as I too picked up some extras of those myself (Plus I liked pattern# 68 and hoarded those) before I quit collecting the TEK cards and boxed them away in my bedroom closet.
Is it ridiculously hot here in Houston or what

Had an interesting transaction with @tenballer last week. I bought his base. When they arrived they were all in soft sleeves... apparently as he ripped he put them in soft sleeves. The surfaces were immaculate. They almost seemed like different cards. If I ever have the honor of doing another group break, I'm going to slow down the process and do this. The difference is amazing. Although I also think the packs I opened had cards sticking together. These cards just cannot take being rubbed together in any way. But they do ship and wash up like a champ.
No way... That's all I'm saying about that.

What are the odds? No way...
0% , like none at all. At least he tries hard to be one of a kind.

Does anyone else write/act like that? Who knows but it odd as hell.
