The 1998 Topps Tek Thread

[joey12508]

Thanks to Rich, Matt, and Ebay, I got 4 Thome patterns in this month (Aug.) after getting none earlier this year. Down to needing just 3 more to finish the set. They are: 17, 24, 90

Thanks for looking!

Does it appear there is more to this than just our resident collector picking up his needs? If there are multiple people in play putting up that much moolah for common diffractors, then I need to check my expectations.

If this discussion was about the Ray Lankford p. 79 diffractor, that wasn't me! I already have a copy of a p. 79 Lankford diffractor. I've lost out on several bids for diffractors I needed in the past month where I thought I was over bidding. No idea who has the deep pockets that is bagging some of these cards.

Doesn't look like Diffractor.

Doesn't look like Diffractor.

if it was i would have bought it. the guy believes it is.

 

[SINFULONE]

I hate misleading auction titles like that. I was looking for a rookie card of someone yesterday. Some seller lists an auction with a 2nd year card as a "rookie". And this was before the RC guidelines were changed.

 

[u2me57]

Yeah, I hate that too. I see a lot of 1992 Jim Thome cards on ebay listed as his RC. And sadly a lot of buyers fall for it. But I think a small percentage of sellers don't have a clue when listing their cards.

I contacted seller of the Bernie Williams who claimed it as Diffractor. He told me he would change listing

Just got these gold pre-production's in. Anyone know how many gold sets are out there? I always thought there was only 1 set but it looks like onionring also has a gold version of P71.

I believe there are 30 patterns each. Wry limited to 1-few each I believe. Nice pickups, as I am sure there are others interested in them.

Ohhh very nice! Got my heart pumping there!

There was another pattern that I owned that popped up on ebay about 5-10 years ago. But that single instance was the only dup I've seen. This is the second. I haven't seen or heard of a dup of either mondesi or clemens.

Great additions!

I've got one for my collection, I'm sure someone will need it though
