Nice little rainbow completed - including a 1/2 and 1/1 card

[gracecollector]

Tough little rainbow to finish for a player collector. I lucked into the gold refractor today to complete it. This is a 2005 Topps Rookie Cup Reprints rainbow. Players in this set had five variations: base card, chrome #/25, chrome refractor #/15, rookie cup relic (varied numbering, 8 at the most - Grace had 2), and gold chrome refractor #/1.

Anyone else have a Gold Refractor to show off?

No...and obviously you don't either!

You are obsessed with Mark Garace...you should switch to Mattingly or Uggla like me.

I think it's one of only two Oswalt cards labeled gold refractor that I don't have.

Yes, I seem to recall the 1/1 auction ending early yesterday.

No...and obviusly you don't either!

I should preview before posting ... fixed

You really want the competition? My two players are enough, thanks, on both my time and wallet!

Very impressive considering everything is numbered 25 or under except the base card!

Seller had 3 other people PM'ing him about the card. I had to act fast. Luckily, my website convinced him to sell it to me. Were you interested in it?

Not particularly, but I just watch 1/1 cards.

All in jest, all in jest. I don't need anymore competiton at all.
Nice job on that spectrum though. That Grace card is a beauty alone, then add the updated versions = Awesome!

and yes, we both should preview... I spelled obviously wrong. :|

sweet rainbow! CONGRATS!

Nice Rainbow. It's a rainbow I will never complete as another Walker collector has all 3 rookie cup relic cards. Then again I don't have the Gold or Refractor sooo I'm not even close.

Oh good, I don't have to feel embarrased about taking this opportunity to show off!

And for good measure:

Very nice! Certainly were a lot of great cards for player collectors to collect in this product.

Yeah, I do like the set---that's a nice run you have! The autos in particular were done well and the stickers match the background, which is nice to see.


I started collecting in 2006, after this product came out, but somehow ended up with all of the plates and the Reprints 1/1. Really funky how it works sometimes, considering that I don't have all four plates for any other product.
