Player Collectors: How far have you gone to get a rarity?

[Jastermereel]

Very nice Rivera find! I don't recall ever seeing a Super Rave either.

Here is another card site from Japan (link to r-b21) if you haven't seen it yet.

It never hurts to search Google every now and then. I've come across some random trade pages through Google searches and have been able to work out deals via email.

Nice. I've never seen their store. Nothing I need at the moment, but worth watching.

Great Rivera find.

I share many of the same stories shared already. Loads of phone calls and tracking people down who knew someone who knew the person I was trying to reach.

Not for a card, but for chasing an auto:
Got on a 7 hour bus drive with my dad to met two players (Memo Luna and Benny Valenzuela) I needed for my autograph project. Then go back the next day

This is easy for me. My man 200lbhockeyplayer (nohomo) is working on a comission for me as we speak. It's a dual patch/auto card of Ripken Jr and myself. He dubbed it "Patriotic Pairings". I LOVE it and haven't even gotten it yet. I HIGHLY suggest you fellow player collectors to do business with this man. He is talented without a doubt. I hope he doesn't mind but here is the sneak preview. (Hey Mike, if you want me to take this down just let me know.)
