So I know the First Pitch Preview cards are really rare. Is there a stated print run for them?

I've been collecting them for awhile now and I really think the print run varies on players. I don't think each player was printed in the same quantity like most normal "promos" you see. Since it was online winner and a different card was released each day or week, some players were most likely not sent out as winners as often. For instance, I've seen at least 10-15 of each of guys like Randy Johnson, Will Clark, Fred McGriff, Barry Larkin, Eddie Murray, even a couple bigger stars like Mark McGwire but zero of Juan Gonzalez, Omar Vizquel among others. Only 1 example of Barry Bonds. Only 2 examples of Cal Ripken. Even the guys I've seen a bunch of are only in the 10 to 15 range, so they are still pretty rare, but not impossible, like some players seem to be. I'd guess print run is 1 or 2 (or even not existing to 75 to 100), just a guess based on what I've seen. But if they were released in equal quantities, a player like Vizquel would surface more often since he has basically 1 major player collector. If it were a guy like Puckett, I'd say most found their ways into collections by now, and it would be hard to determine how many are out there since so many have been stashed away into private collections, but Vizquel would show up more often in my opinion. I think a few of the Gonzo collectors are skeptical their guy exists, but I'm sure it's out there somewhere.

Not trying to throw it in anybody's face. I just really like diffractors and I'm excited to have it. I have 7 total. Had 8 but someone offered me a good deal for 1.

I think you're just upset that I didn't sell the card to either of you. I guess you're entitled to it for a crap price because you collect him LOL I paid 22 bucks for a Caminiti diffractor so people are willing to pay money for these even if the player isn't Griffey or Ripken.

Only thing I'm going to say is that I don't think I am entitled. Good luck with selling your card.

Wow brings back memorize with the diamond ink 1point card from 1998! Really sweet. Did Belle have one? Man I had a TON of these back in the day. Probably not in a box anywhere.

Another Prime example of greed because someone assumes that someone is desperate, rather than trying to help a fellow collector out. Particularly one who takes an active roll in this thread.

Just sad.

Good luck with that Clemens Diffractor! Doubt you get anywhere close what you are hoping again.
A Tek Gold /10 just sold for $20. And it was a Spankees card.
Some of you guys are hilarious. I guess someone can't joke about something without someone getting all pissy. How am I being greedy? Can't someone sell something for whatever they feel like without being greedy? I try and help player collectors out all the time. I even busted a 1998 Topps Tek box and offered the cards for trade here before trading them to two people that are trying to put the master set together.

Why should a player collect be obligated to cards you have if they don't pay you what you want for it? Just because they collect that player. So if you get a Caminiti card that goes for 50 bucks, should I be able to offer you 10 bucks for it? Should you give me the card for 10 bucks just because I collect Caminiti? LOL Doesn't make much sense does it? I did offer the Jones diffractor for 13 bucks shipped on here.

I don't really plan on getting rid of the diffractors unless I can get a good offer on them since I don't mind keeping them in my PC. And how do you know what I want for a card on Ebay? Are you a psychic? I did place or best offer on them

I guess diffractors don't go for much LOL

First off "some" player collectors suck to deal with; there is one on FCB I will never deal with since they like to low ball.

Second; if you plan to pimp your wares here prepare to take the crap that goes with it. You listed a bunch of Diffractors; Jason Kendall might be the best comparison.

Fact is many people pick up things and sell them to PC guys all the time to be buddies; that is what we do on FCB. Yes some people flip their 90s card because of this thread. Sell it for what you want; no one really gives a shat; everyone needs to get over it.
