[MENTION=2322]jeffv96masters[/MENTION] why do you believe the Diffractors are pre-production? They don't appear to have a couple of the hallmarks of pre-production cards.

Wow. 14 diffractors at a single time of a stud 90's player is like striking lightening in a bottle. Congratulations!

My updated 1998 Topps TEK want list (20 year anniversary in 2018 for 1998 Topps TEK)
Looking for a few condition upgrades and some Same Card #/Pattern # cards for a 90 card set of those I am close to completing
I'm looking to buy or trade for any on list in mint or near mint condition with no scratches, water marks, dots, peeling of the edges of the silver ovals which contain the card #and pattern # on the back and no misalignment of he card # and pattern# within that silver oval. My completed 8100 Master set is mint to near mint with only a handful below that are in solid shape with a minor dot or two blemish. The 1998 Tek cards scratch easily. For me I have found pattern # 36 particularly susceptible to scratches.

Epic Find, congrats!
Any price for 14 diffractors is a great deal

Chris, don't know about that, but if anyone is interested in Adrian Beltre diffractors, a Beltre collector from Pasadena, California. Lucky Blake, is offering 13 or 14 Beltre diffractors on eBay. Price is high, but I made him an offer and picked up the seven other of his Beltre diffractors that I needed for my collection. Will put me at 50 Beltre patterns when received. Don't be scared off by his asking price, make him a reasonable offer.
