Only Duplicates are FS, sorry.

Nice crusade duplicates! Are you going for sets of all colors and if so, how far along are you on each?

Green and Purple have been done since 2001......Reds are a pipe dream but I am well over 50%. I collected extra Cardinals for Team Affiliation :mrgreen:

I figured I'd add to the SPX drama...

Compared to other SPX's, I believe these are the Steel versions. Anyone interested? I need the Bagwell version if anyone has one out there...

Diffractor? Wait, theres diff versions of these Teks too? Then this one I got last week is a Diffractor and not just that pattern? Oh yeah, I see it now. The Background behind the player is clearly different than all the other Tek cards.

Yep, that "stained glass window" effect is a Diffractor parallel. Very hard to track them down. Now you have 180 cards to find for your player collection instead of just 90 :shock:

I also picked up a Diffractor this week, but not on purpose. I paid 75 cents for this card on Beckett and was pleasantly surprised to find that the seller had failed to list it as a Diffractor. The best part -- it's the Pattern 11, so it matches Larkin's jersey number.

Some other additions from the last couple weeks:

Nice pickups! Fun story on the Diffractor. Back in 98 I was relieved that Rusty wasn't in the set. But now I'm bummed. A fun chase...

Couple tiny pick-ups yesterday

First a classic

Just when you think you only have a set number of cards to track down, someone blows your mind and doubles it with a shimmery gloss coating!

I love being a Player Collector. I truly do.

Yeah, I'm just waiting for them to start doing more of those "Greats" style sets and start pumping out more cards of our players.
