The 1998 Topps Tek Thread

The same seller has two other auctions that are still going on. One of them has the beat-up Belle card that looks to be very heavily spotted. If I win the lot, I'll let you know.

Yea, that must be it. I'm not going for it but looked like a diffractor but looks more like a spotted card lol

Pattern 10 arrived today, just 4 of these SOBs to go! (29, 39, 44, 52)

I'm in the same boat... Four to go for Belle.

How are those stored by the way? Or are those just laid out on the floor?

They're in 9 page sleeves laid on my coffee table for the photo-op, they're back in the '98 binder now

Congrats on the Randy Johnson pattern #10 . Hope the last 4 don't take too long.

New Teks on Sportlots, which doesn't happen very often.

Saw this. Guys need to note the pattern numbers lol

UGH-already sold out of Buhner :/

Got in that 19-card misc. '98 Tek lot today. Just one diffractor, Lofton p.38. The stuff that looked heavily spotted or like diffractors on the scans were actually pretty clean base cards. No idea what the seller was using for lighting but it produced some pretty freaky scans. Won that seller's 2nd lot too. We'll see what I get!

I saw and was pleasantly surprised. Hopefully when they come in, I will be even happier!

Congrats Bacon! You are too speedy on the Thome cards, lol. I never even saw them. Let me know what patterns they are when they come in.::facepalm::

Nobody mentioned that this speedy4u had four diffractors listed on Sportslots too. A Brady Anderson, Robin Ventura, Paul O'Neill, and a Dunwoody. No patterns listed, but grabbed 'em anyway about five minutes ago. Total $36.00.

Well he didn't know that he had them. I asked him about the Belle patterns and he said they were patterns 46 and 84, neither of which I needed. I asked him if either happened to be a diffractor and he has no clue what that was, so I told him what they look like without blowing it out of proportion for what they are or what value might be and he said he found four but no Belle's. He must have switched them over and then you picked them up, congrats. I probably would have jumped on them if he came back and was like "Yea, found a McGwire, Griffey, etc."

Any interest in moving the Lofton diffractor?

According to Fandruw25, we're not allowed to give fellow collector's heads ups on Tek cards online. Or maybe that rule only applies to me on the previous page....

I think Fandruw was referring to posting in here when cards are listed or up for auction, etc. The commented you quoted for [MENTION=8009]rinkrat38[/MENTION] was him saying he had already purchased them I believe.

Without getting into a pissing match or making "rules" I think Fandruw was just kindly saying that if you see a Tek card or lot or something up for sale, PM the person you think needs said player, etc. as opposed to posting in her and alerting everyone, even trolls, what you found.

I personally don't care what anyone does... as long as they only PM me about Belle cards and not alert anyone else about them

Nice find. Maybe I shouldn't have been narrowing my search to fresh inventory...? Either that or he just added them.

I just got pattern 47 in. These are the Alomars I still need:
6, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 20, 21, 23, 25, 27, 34, 40, 41, 51, 53, 54, 55, 66, 70, 71, 78, 83, 84, 86, 87, 88
