Some more from COMC:
I already had a Hinch Topps Tek Diffractor (different pattern) but I couldn't resist buying another when I saw it pop up for a decent price. The Spiezio 1997 Bowman Black Ink auto drops my needs for that set to 2...I also need 2 from the Gold Ink set. The sweet Tejada patch out of 2002 Fleer Platinum is hand numbered 54/55. And the Giambi Red parallel from 2003 Tribute Contemporary Collection is 32/50.
A bunch of recent retro-themed autographs, though it makes me feel pretty old if 2002 is retro now. Zito is 005/199 and Tenace is 109/150.
A couple of recent GU with retro designs, the Semien patch is 19/25. The Rickey Tools of the Trade is 150/150, neat. Nice to grab the Nomah Black Mini out of 2009 O-Pee-Chee, those are fairly tough.
Some other player or team collectors might know how tough many of the cards from 2005 Upper Deck Flyball are...several of them popped up on COMC a while back and I grabbed an Octavio Dotel, which I thought was the last one I needed for my team set. But this Zito was also listed and the card didn't look familiar to me so I dug through my Zitos and saw that I didn't have it. I use Beckett to make my wantlists and it turns out for some reason they did not list this card. It's number 102 and their set listing skips right from 101 to 103. So I never knew I needed it until I saw it and it felt unfamiliar. I don't know if it's super rare or anything but I'm glad I found it! It seems like Beckett skipped 25 numbers when cataloguing this set so I wonder if I'm missing any more A's without realizing it. Baseballcardpedia and tcdb are also missing the Zito from their checklist.
