I think what happened is that you thought all the Derrek Lees were 18 cents. Sportlots shows the lowest price on the search results screen. Only one seller had them for 18 cents. I don't think pkerplyr sells any of his that cheap. Sorry it didn't work out!
Nor do I think anybody sells any more than one or two 1998 teks cards for $.18

Out of curiosity, do any of you team/player/set collectors want this type of set produced again? Being that its 15 years later and it's still occupying a section of hobbyists I'm wondering if its something that would come back around. I'm a Clark collector and he wasn't in Tek but I think it would bring some fun for the hunt.

I listed my Gwynn diffractor for $80.00 without obo last night just to see how many angry emails I would get from Gwynn collectors. I already received 2.

They can always move onto the next Gwynn card, theres plenty to choose from. I thought I might sell some stuff to fund my road trip to San Diego in April.

If you are going to list Tek diffractors on eBay at three or four times book value, it's de rigueur that you put asterisks around rare and diffractor, like *rare* and *diffractor*, or be even more emphatic with **rare** and **diffractor**.

Lol, I really have no intention of selling it but if someone wants to pay for my night club money while I'm in San Diego then so be it.

What thrill could you get out of taunting the Gwynn collectors out there? I don't get it...

I was just joking. I don't get any thrills out of taunting anybody. I thought I'd just throw a high bin out there and see if anybody hits it. I wouldn't mind keeping it in my PC. Entitled player collectors throw fits when you don't sell them a card at THEIR price.

I see Gwynn cards that I would LOVE to have but are way over priced. I just think "WOW, that's way over priced" and move on to the next card. I never feel taunted myself when seeing an over priced card.

Listen, I'm cool with you, but by "posting and seeing how many messages you get", that's you fishing for a reaction, not just doing it see if fish bit.

That's my opinion. Just calling a spade a spade. Honestly, you can do whatever you want with your own cards.

When I saw that Gwynn diffractor up for $80, I immediately curled up into the fetal position and crawled behind the refrigerator crying. I kept yelling out, "Why Me!" and "Everyone Hates Me!" I began to cut my arms with blades and downed a half-bottle of Advil. I slobbered my way to the couch and was just sitting down with a 2 gallon carton of Peanut Butter and Chocolate Ice Cream and a can of Hershey's Syrup when I noticed your post that you were "just joking"...

...selfish much?? How could you do that to me?

Wow, I guess I won't joke about any thing on here any more. Does anybody on here really think I took the time to post a card on Ebay so I can get hate mail?

I can only imagine the type of mail griffeyfan24 gets. I have even criticized his prices but he sells his cards at 5 million times their worth. I'm selling mine for only double so it's okay :LOL:

See and this is why I LOVE Gwynn545. He has the same sick sense of humor I have. I guess it just DOESN'T translate well through words on a computer screen. I blame it on my childhood and working for the government lol

Second email I got after respectfully declining a 35 dollar offer and stating that I wouldn't lower the price. Seems like a nice guy but you can't really tell someone what THEIR card is worth to THEM or what "reality" is based on collecting a certain player for 30 years. My "reality" is that I'll sell it for 80 or it'll remain in my binder. Plus, I have to give you guys some thing to type about at midnight.

"That is your choice. I respect that but that is not reality I have been collecting tg cards for almost thirty years. I have about 12 of the diffractors It not a big deal if I don't get this one but it would be nice to add it to my collection. If you can't sell it for what you think
It's worth let me know.
"
