Post the top 10 cards on your Want List

[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
2006 Upper Deck Silver Spectrum Darin Erstad 7
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?

[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

Ryan Helsley:

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

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.

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.

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.

Nice. I'll have to look for the post.
