Post the top 10 cards on your Want List

[magicpapa]

This was just outside my top 10 Erstad wants. Picked it up 2 weeks ago:


2001 Donruss Elite Dominators Darin Erstad /25

they are pretty

 

[WizardofOz1982]

Not much change sadly

Jeff Frye:

1. 1993 Topps Porcelain #197 Hand #’d /1,000 (May not exist)
2. 1997 Red Sox Score Premier #10
3. 1998 Stadium Club First Day Issue #281 SER# /200
4. 1999 Fleer Tradition Starting 9 #404 SER# /9

Ryan Helsley:

1. 2015 Bowman Draft Red #189 SER# /5
2. 2015 Bowman Chrome Draft Red Refractors #189 SER# /5
3. 2018 Bowman Chrome Prospect Autographs Blue Mojo Refractors #CPARH SER# /150
4. 2018 Bowman Chrome Prospect Autographs Red Refractors #CPARH SER# /5
5. 2018 Bowman C2018 Bowman Chrome Prospect Autographs Red Shimmer Refractors #CPARH SER# /5
6. 2019 Bowman Prospects Red #BP121 SER# /5
7. 2019 Topps Update Memorial Day Camo #US248 SER# /25
8. 2019 Topps Heritage Reverse Stock #717 Print Run of 5

Yeah I listed 12. Sue me.

Well alrighty then.

I added the 2018 Bowman Chrome Prospect Autographs Red Refractor a couple weeks ago. I also added the 2020 Donruss '86 Retro Autographs Black 1/1 though it wasn't on this list. Can't complain too much I guess.

The 2015 Bowman Chrome Draft Red Refractor and 2018 Bowman Chrome Prospects Auto Red Shimmer are both on eBay right now but at significantly higher prices than I paid for the Red I just got, or the 2018 Super Auto for that matter, so the waiting game begins.

2006 Fleer Glossy Gold Darin Erstad 6

2009 Topps Target #533 Darin Erstad (only non 1/1 card I need from 07-10)

Only missing these 7 cards from a full run of Kurcz. I'm also working on IP autos of the full run, just need a dozen or so more.

 

[theplasticman]

Really surprised I haven't run into this one yet:

2011 Bowman Draft Prospect Autographs Red #AK Aaron Kurcz /25

 

[WizardofOz1982]

Some Changes.....Yay!

Jeff Frye:

1. 1997 Red Sox Score Premier #10
2. 1998 Stadium Club First Day Issue #281 SER# /200
3. 1999 Fleer Tradition Starting 9 #404 SER# /9
4. 1999 Red Sox Team Issue Photocard NNO
5. 2000 Red Sox Team Issue Photocard NNO
   
   No change to the Frye checklist unfortunately, other than removing the 1993 Topps R&N Porcelain because I'm not convinced it exists.

Ryan Helsley:

1. 2015 Bowman Draft Red #189 SER# /5
2. 2015 Bowman Chrome Draft Red Refractors #189 SER# /5
3. 2019 Bowman Prospects Red #BP121 SER# /5
4. 2019 Topps Chrome Update Superfractor Auto #25 1/1
5. 2019 Topps Heritage Reverse Stock #717 Print Run of 5

I actually found 2 more of the 8 Helsleys I had listed and found out 1 doesn't exist so that's a win so far this year.

1. 2018 Bowman Chrome Prospect Autographs Red Shimmer Refractors #CPARH SER# /5 - Rainbow complete. A raw copy finally showed up on eBay and I didn't have to pay through the nose.
2. 2019 Topps Update Memorial Day Camo #US248 SER# /25 - Just need the Platinum 1/1 for the rainbow now

Anyone ever seen this?
Double fronted card.

[theplasticman]

Still have not seen #4, 5, 6, 9 & 10 from my list. #9 & 10 will probaby never be seen.

I can confirm the Kanebo black exists. Before I really understood their scarcity, I had the Black parallel of Pujols. Sold for $30 ish probably 10 years ago

Are you in the 90s Facebook group? I saw a Ryno mailday recently, with a couple of these

 

[WizardofOz1982]

Jeff Frye:

1. 1997 Red Sox Score Premier #10
2. 1998 Stadium Club First Day Issue #281 SER# /200
3. 1999 Fleer Tradition Starting 9 #404 SER# /9

2. 2019 Topps Chrome Update Superfractor Auto #25 1/1

4. 2017 Heritage Minors 5x7 /10
5. 2017 Heritage Minors 5x7 /49

I actually found 2 more Helsley's out of 5 that I needed so the list of non 1/1s is getting shorter but he finally has another card in 2022 Topps 206 Wave 3 so I'll be chasing several new parallels and a new 1/1.

1. 2015 Bowman Prospects Red /5
2. 2015 Bowman Chrome Prospects Red Refractor /5

 

[theplasticman]

@WizardofOz1982 - Jump on the 206 parallels right away. I was tracking the Erstad and after the initial wave of listings... they dried up. Some of the tougher ones I landed have been the only copies I've run into.

 

[theplasticman]

My updates. Zero progress since last year. I did just land a tough Erstad from 2005 numbered to 10.

Darin Erstad

2006 Fleer Glossy Gold Darin Erstad 6
2006 Upper Deck Silver Spectrum Darin Erstad 7

2005 Playoff Prestige Red Foil #78 Bucky Jacobsen /25 (retail parallel)

2011 Topps Pro Debut Printing Plates Black #304 Aaron Kurcz /1
2011 Topps Pro Debut Red #304 Aaron Kurcz /1

Only missing these 7 cards from a full run of Kurcz. I'm also working on IP autos of the full run, just need a dozen or so more.

1998 Ultra Platinum Medallion /100
2003 Topps Chrome Silver Refractor - was a redemption
2005 Topps Chrome Red Xfractor

Those are the top wants, but always looking for other rare cards.

 

[thelesquad]

Are you in the 90s Facebook group? I saw a Ryno mailday recently, with a couple of these

I am. I'm the one who posted the 1997 Pinnacle Totally Certified Platinum Gold mailday.

 

[jmc855]

Not sure I have 10 cards to quantify, but these are some that I'd like to have but don't yet (mostly becuase the prices are just too much for me, or I missed a deal a while back and now the price is more than I value the card). Someday I'll stumble upon them at a deal, or maybe I won't :

All Roger Clemens :

1997 Spx Grand Finale
1988 Topps Cloth AS
1997 Limited Exposure Star Factor
A Red Sox Uniformed 1/1 Superfractor
1997 Fractal Materials Wood
2003 Topps Black
2002 Topps Chrome Black Refractor
Crusade Purple

I plan to do so. I did the same when he was in 2019 Topps Mini and 2020 Topps Total though I've never seen the 1/1 for either pop up.

 

[theplasticman]

BTW - Someone on the Blowout forum maths out all the print runs for each wave, so you have an idea of how many of each variant there are.
