As someone who is a hardcore collector of a couple players, as well as someone who enjoys building low-print-run modern sets, I'm always frustrated by not finding the cards I need, simply because they don't show up online. The idea that they might be sitting in some dusty shop display case somewhere, unappreciated, is one of those things that keep me awake at night. So I would like to have this thread be an ongoing listing of notable cards that people might be interested in that are just sitting in a dealer case in your area that are likely to sit there till they become dust.
Please list out the cards, along with prices if you have them, and contact info for the store.
Austin Sports Connection, 512-458-6433, Austin, TX.
2005 Absolute Tools of the Trade Ryne Sandberg, glove/jersey/bat/hat autograph #4/5, $100
2004 Stan Musial bat/jersey #1/5 $150. Not sure what set it's from, it's a Perez paiting like the Hall of Fame Heroes insert
2004 Absolute Tools of the Trade Black 1/1 Todd Helton, no price given
Also several low # 2005 Diamond Kings parallels, including a Miguel Cabrera 1/1.
Several mid-90s Michael Jordan inserts, too. 96 Skybox Z-Force Vortex, 93 Ultra Power in the Key, 96 Skybox No Boundaries, 95 TSC Reign Men. Not sure about pricing on those. They go by some percentage off Beckett.
I'm not sure if ASC will ship by mail, but if anyone's interested in these cards, LMK and I can help you out.

Haven't looked specifically for inte-resting stuff for this thread yet, but will soon. IIRC, the most interesting things I've seen lately were a couple 1951 Topps Connie Mack Al-l-Stars, a Lou Gehrig and one other. However, the backgrounds are popped off. They still wanted $300 or $400 for the Gehrig. They've got a fair amount of vintage commons and semi-stars, from T-206/205 and up, but pricing seems fairly stiff. If you catch them at the right time, or, more specifically, the right guy behind the counter, they are a little flexible.
