There's a seller with 30+ diffractors at auction on ebay right now. Anyone here bidding on the two Robbies? If so, send me a PM, maybe we can avoid a bidding war.

So what player will go for the most. I will say the Juan Gonzalez.

If the Juan Gon is needed by some of the biggest players collectors... god knows where the price could end up...

Bump for 1998 Tek collectors. Happy New Year!!

 

[MansGame]

Wish someone would trip across a box of this stuff and we could run back the player breaks we use to do back in the day on here...

 

[banjar]

Me too!

Or better yet - I keep hoping an intergalactic meteoroid would shoot across the sky and transmit beta waves to all the hardcore 98 Tek collectors, leaving them convinced beyond all doubt that 98 Tek is evil and they must sell their inventories to FCB members immediately

Wish someone would trip across a box of this stuff and we could run back the player breaks we use to do back in the day on here...

Thanks to chippercards.com and a recent ebay deal, I'll be scanning these beauties and adding them to the website soon. This gets me to just over 50% of the 98s.

Also added that gorgeous Diffractor. I'm trying to work out a deal for another one of those right now.

You can see here a handful of 99s and a red 00 as well. These cards are quite addictive!

Very nice pick-ups.
" These cards are quite addictive! "

Yes they are.

 

[timtom]

Just seeing if I may be able to get some help here from fellow tek collectors.

I have 22 bagwell diffractors and now I've ended up with the duplicates. I was wondering if anyone here would happen to have a bagwell diffractor and be willing to trade it for one of my duplicates to help me get more patterns. I would be willing to add some cash/cards as well to sweeten the deal.

Awesome. A lot of my Teks, especially 1998, came from members of this board too.
