Well-known member
In my supercollecting quest over the last 20 years there have been several Trent Dilfer cards that exist according to Beckett and are part of a set which clearly exists, yet I have never seen one despite all manner of searching. I'm not talking about 1/1's or 1/5 cards or anything, but cards that there is no fathomable reason I shouldn't have seen than other than they weren't made for some unknown reason or they were extremely short-printed.
Do other player collectors have similar cards they can't find for some reason? Maybe they're even from the same sets? Mine are:
1995 Pacific Blue 344 (These weren't as rare as the later "Platinum Blue" inserts - supposedly about 1 in 4 retail packs and there are 70 cards from the set on COMC so not super rare, but I have never once seen a Dilfer)
1997 Pacific Philadelphia Silver 187 (Rarer than the above card at 2:37 packs, but about 75% of the set is on COMC so not rare at all...yet never seen a Dilfer)
1997 Studio Postcard Portraits 7 (Though I don't think this entire set exists, has anybody seen their player? Supposedly measures 4" x 6" instead of 8" x 10".
1998 Skybox Thunder Rave/150 118 (Have seen plenty of 1998 Super Raves/25 and many 1997 Raves/150, but ZERO 1998 Raves/150. Something's wrong here.)
1999 Collector's Edge Advantage Millennium Blue 140 (I have all of his Millennium Reds and Blues from the other 1999 Edge sets, but I have never seen an Advantage Millennium Blue veteran card, only rookies. I think this is an error by Beckett but if anybody has a veteran Millennium Blue from this set please chime in.)
What are you weirdly missing for your players?
