Picked up a 1998 Topps TEK Brady Anderson card 16 pat# 1 on ebay. Anyone have any pattern# 1s or and Same Card # patterns #s to trade or sell? Will trade and buy at high Beckett for any.

Anyone want a Dunwoody 36 pat# 63 diffractor? Will trade that (my only dupe 1998 TEK diffractor) for any diffractor I dont have. Odd about the Dunwoody in that that specific card/pattern is my only TEK diffractor card and at one time I had 3 of them (36p63)... Go figure.

Are you looking for the regular Tek cards from 1998 or the Tek Diffractors? I've got a few regular Tek cards of Jordan and Lankford but no Diffractors. Good luck with this project.

I only need Diffractors plus the gold foil pre-production McGwire.

Bump for all the 1998 Tek collectors. Just need these 10 Thome cards:

4, 16, 17, 22, 24, 34, 52, 63, 83, and 90. Thanks for looking!

Oh yeah, a Thome Tek seller on ebay said there were 61,200 base cards made, or 680 of each base card made. Does that sound right to you guys? If so, what does that equate to diffractor cards made?

Number is way, way off. 61,200 '98 Tek base cards = 15,300 packs. The one statistic about 98 Teks that is known is that there is one diffractor per every six packs. 15,300 packs divided by 6 would give us only 2550 total diffractors. Since I already have 3360 different diffractor patterns in my collection.... Like I said, way, way off.

That's per player he was talking about I believe. That would be about 28 diffractors per card (regardless of 89 or 90 patterns). Which, I think would be on the high side. I think it's closer to 10, but who knows.

I looked but don't have any of those. Funny how at least 3 Belle collectors on here need pattern #2 , including Donald Apland, who is only about 37 cards away from having all 8100 cards. Good luck guys.
