Thank you very much. I received the card today. I am down to needing just nine more Alomar patterns: 8, 11, 13, 21, 27, 55, 78, 83, 86.

PMs sent. My dubs from this set are dwindling away haha

Hey guys, this is my first post on this thread. I've been reading this thread ever since I found FCB, but never understood the fascination with 98 tek cards. Well I'm not sure what happened, but I caught the bug and have decided to put together the Albert Belle cards. Thanks to FCB members I've already gotten a big jump. Here are the ones I still need if anyone can help i'd really appreciate it!

2, 15, 16, 25, 26, 32, 37, 38, 39, 42, 47, 51, 56, 60, 63, 64, 66, 69, 72, 75, 78, 79, 81, 83, 87, 90.

Welcome to the 1998 Tek thread. You have come to the right place. I looked but don't have any of the Belle's you need but I'm sure someone on here does. Good luck!

This was the last pattern I needed. Pattern #39 . Card number 90. [MENTION=1845]gracecollector[/MENTION] had it. Now I have it. It arrived today.

I have......all 90....... 1998 Topps Tek Randy Johnson patterns.... A completed player set..... wow.

When I got back into the hobby near the end of 2013 and joined this board I needed 23 patterns. In May 2014 I needed 9. Took 2 years to find 9 cards. I found the 89th card back in September. 8 months waiting on the last one.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

Best of luck to MansGame and everyone else still in the hunt, it's tough. Of course now that I have a complete set I'll be going after a reverse order set, odd & even pattern number sets, a prime number pattern set, a 90-card set of all the same pattern number and so on. I will pay the Jan 2002 Beckett high price.

Working with gracecollector too - I hope to be down to just two patterns needed for the Buhner set.

Nice BU!

Props on the prime number pattern set. That was clever!

Congrats bro! I've been down to one pattern for a while and don't see it showing up in my mailbox anytime soon haha

Congrats on the Big Unit set.
