The 1998 Topps Tek Thread

[rinkrat38]

[MENTION=8009]rinkrat38[/MENTION] - you going to collect the 2014 release?!

No, other than the '98 Tek diffractors that get salted into the release, which is what it sounds like will happen. Won't buy packs or boxes though.

Ugh. I picked up all five Alomars from that site because I figured if he had just one or two that I needed, it would be worth it. I had all five (two were actually duplicates that I received). I should have emailed first but I was hoping. Oh well, I picked up some other Alomars I needed from him.

Never saw this Baseball Only site before but it interesting. Looks like the site owner owns all the cards. You are dealing with one guy and a couple of helpers. Searched his site for Pedro cards with which I am very familiar. He had hundreds of cards, almost all commons, and at prices comparable to what you see on eBay, but nothing that interested me. No high-end cards at all. You can do a player search, and the results are sorted by year and manufacturer. Register with an e-mail address and password, and name and address. He takes PayPal. The site seems fairly user friendly.

You can do a set search by year to pick out 1998 Topps Teks. He lists all the players for which he has patterns on two pages, by card number order. He mostly has cards of the common players with quantities for each ranging from 1 card to about 20. Has cards of 60 to 70 players in the '98 Tek set. No '98 Teks available of Ripken, Jeter, Griffey, McGwire, etc. None of Edgar, Mussina, Bags either. He does have a fair number of cards for some of the players folks on this board are collecting: Albert Belle (3), David Justice (7), Sandy Alomar (5), Ray Lankford (21), Gary Sheffield (21). All of these players' cards are listed at $1.00. You have to email him for the pattern numbers.

MansGame would have a 13.3% chance of hitting one of the four Albert's he needs. Not as good a chance as drawing on the river to an up-or-down straight or to a flush, but certainly worth an e-mail. The Sandy Alomar collector likely needs two of the five that this guy has. The Lankford collector may see Christmas in July!

I emailed them about what Thome patterns they had but still haven't received an email back.

Just got my 4 RJs from bballonly, all dupes for me as well. Oh well, I've decided extra 98 tek cards are money in the long run.

My 2nd RJ tek set is almost as complete as my 1st! :what:

[u2me57]

That's a good idea, a 2nd Tek set with all the dupes. Except that I still need 40 Thome's for my 1st set.:benson:

Got any dupe Thomes? If I got ones you need, and you got ones I need, we might be able to help each other out with this endless task.

 

[u2me57]

Yep, I have these 4 Thome dupe's. They are patterns 6, 45, 57, and 65.

Here are the 40 Thome patterns I need: 1, 3, 4, 9, 10, 15-17, 19-22, 24-26, 28, 32, 34, 35, 41, 42, 44, 52-54, 58-60, 63, 67, 70, 72, 75, 80, 81, 83, 86, 87, 89, and 90.

Let me know. Thanks!

. Not the easiest site to use, but there are a ton of '98 Teks on Sportslots.

Doesnt help that the sellers dont list the patterns. How are you gonna sell a card without details about the pattern?

Click on "details". Almost all of the sellers list their patterns there. Pkerplyr, who has the vast majority of the cards listed, always lists his patterns.

Me neither, I bowed out at $30 as usual, ended $38. I'm batting .250 lifetime on RJ diffractors ::facepalm::
