Over the last twenty years?

I'd assume many mid 00s Donruss products?

That's a good question. I assume the Exquisite stuff in basketball should be dried up by now.

Maybe Donruss Originals from '02? Last time I looked I couldn't find any

my favorite mid-00's donruss-playoff product is not impossible to find, just expensive at the 1 or 2 places I know of to find it.

I do think you have horse-sense generally about mid 00's donruss product likely being the hardest to find of about most any product of the last 20 yerars.

I was looking for some Topps Sterling 2007 recently and could not find any.

Edit...I just rechecked and did see a sealed box on eBay for $325.

Sealed hobby boxes from 2000-2004 seems hard to find unopened, at least more than 1 or 2 at a time. All those millions of forgettable brands from Fleer, Score, Pacific, and Donruss. Like 2001 or 2002 Fleer. Box Score, Maximum, Platinum, GameTime, Authentix, Premium, Triple Crown, Hot Prospects, Futures, Focus, Fleer Tradition with an Update, EX, Showcase, Ultra, Legacy, Flair, and Greats of the Game. And those are the brands I can find searching ebay. Every year all the companies put out a dozen brands or multiple series of a set. Nearly all with the same 90-120 card checklists, various flavors of inserts, a parallel or two, most completely forgettable. There was some good stuff in there. Like Fleer Focus, where the jersey cards frequently had nice patches or tags, not just plain white swatches. But

Every once in a while I look for unopened tins of 2004 SP Game Used or 2005 UD Signature or Sweet Spot. Not out there, and crazy pricey when they show up.

+1 on this. My favorite product, I remember getting boxes for 90 bucks, should have bought way more.

Crazy when the mediocre cards are like this:

I am sure I just don't know where to look but I have a hard time finding boxes of 2004 Leaf. I believe there is 1 or 2 listed on ebay but they never seem to show up.

The boxes with the insane mega-parallel sets (1998/1999/2000 Topps Tek, 2004 Leaf - Exhibits, 2005 Leaf - Sportscasters, 2005 Studio - Portraits, 2005 Donruss Throwback Threads - Polo Grounds) are all drying up and getting expensive.

Those boxes were so much fun to open with all the really low numbered inserts a box you always got.

Yeah they are tough to find at a decent price. I just opened 2 boxes of 2004 Leaf and they will prbobly be my last for a while unless a bunch start popping up.
