National Want List Bounty Hunting

[smapdi]

I'd like to propose a thread where people post cards they'd want people to look for at the National. Mainly I propose this because the National apparently will never be within a thousand miles of Austin, where I live, and at least this year and next I won't be going to it. If any FCBers attending the National could keep an eye out for cards posted here, I'm sure that their prospective owners would be very appreciative.

Rules for posting:
1) Only post one or two things, keep it simple
2) Put up a price you'd like to pay, or be clear that you'd pay any amount
3) Don't renege on buying a card if someone finds it for the price you want
4) Be cool in reimbursing your proxy buyer

For buyers:
1) If you find a card, please try to post here that you did to prevent multiples
2) Please send promptly and packaged well (no PWEs or unsealed top-loaders)
3) Don't hold the card hostage

I realize this sort of thread has been tried before with mixed results. And I realize there's a chance for fraud to occur. But there are a couple things I really want, am tired of looking for, and the National is as good a shot as any. If anyone has other suggestions, please post here. Or is the whole thing just unworkable?

FWIW, this is probably my #1 want in the world of baseball cards right now:
2005 Upper Deck Origins Old Judge Gold #/20 CHRIS BURKE
It looks like this, only with Chris Burke of the Astros:

Brown border, #/20. I started building this set in June or July, 2005, got down to this one card back in about 2008, and it's getting ridiculous. Obviously, this is about a $1 card, but I would pay any reasonable amount. $20 is kinda my limit, but I dunno.

Also if you see any nice Sizemores, keep me in mind.

I was thinking of this last night a work, that there was not one of these started yet. I'll edit this post to what I want someone to be on the look out for me.

Thanks for the thread, smap.

I hope this thread produces results, I really do. For those that haven't been to the National, it's damn near impossible to get through the entire thing and identify stuff for yourself, let alone others. I'd love for someone to hunt down or keep an eye out for the obscure Butler items I need, or other oddities I've been trying to chase down for years, but the chance of that happening for me or most anyone else is slim to none.

What would be great is for there to be an email directory for every seller there so we could solicit them directly for items we're looking for. No dealer brings his entire inventory to this or any other show - the obscure stuff we're needing just might be back at their house/shop, though.

[ballerskrip]

I highly suggest people post prices they are willing to pay. That will make life much easier on the folks who are trying to help you. Especially if you are posting very specific cards here.

Or for the Perk Fan, something like Any plates - up to $15, Superfractors up to $30, etc...

I promise your results will be better

 

[Slette]

If anyone happens upon the 2006 Donruss Elite Status Black auto 1/1's for Chad Greenway or Abdul Hodge, I will reward with a box of A&G, Chrome, or whatever you like. I'll pay $500 for the Greenway and $200 for the Hodge.

If you find either with a higher price tag, please shoot me a PM. I'll make sure to have FCB up the weekend of the show.

I'll be there, but here's a few priorities for me from my Bronson Arroyo collection. Obviously any rare stuff would interest me (less than like /20), and I can give my cellphone if someone wants to text me about stuff they may find... I can also provide my master needs list to anyone.

Bronson Arroyo:
any printing plates: up to $20
any superfractors: up to $60
any other 1/1s: up to $30

1998 Bowman Chrome Golden Anniversary Refractor /5: up to $100
1999 Baseball America Gold #7 /50 (Not the Team Best Gold): up to $15
2001 Upper Deck Exclusives Gold #21 /25: up to $15
2005 Reflections Dual Signatures Blue w/Youkilis /35: up to $30

Also need rare Jose Rijo stuff like all the different stuff from 2003 Donruss Team Heroes (Atlantic City National, Chicago Collection, Glossy, Glossy Hawaii, Hawaii, Master, Samples, Samples Gold, Stat Line/38). Would pay like $10 each... but would love to get them cheaper, obviously.

 

[jpcz]

I will also be going but not the first day....so I will post what I'm looking for in case it's seen that first day. I am also making a list of what others are looking for and will do my best to find them some cards.

2005 immortal inscriptions cal Ripken jr
2005 immortal inscriptions Nolan Ryan.

Will pay up to 700 on the Ryan and 750 on the Ripken....however please pm me if the best price is more. I'd like to take a visit to that seller first thing when I arrive....I will make a deal with them for sure!

 

[cbrandtw]

Since the show is in Baltimore I figured it would as good as place as any to find these 2 cards.

$300- But it needs to be the Ripken name instead of Ford

and $(a lot) depending on condition. I don't expect anyone to buy this rather just put me in contact with the seller.

or if you run across any SUPER rare inserts or parallels of Alex Rodriguez please keep me in mind. Thank you
