Since I sent the private message in Facebook I also found a spare 1998 Topps Tek McGwire card#13 pat#13 along with 2 diffractors Sheffield card#29 pat#1 and Bagwell card#34 pat#1. Not sure if you received PM in Facebook but let me know if you are interested in trading for any of these or from the attachments I sent. Thanks, Garrett

Carl, Another member brought to my attention that I incorrectly listed the 98 Tek Bagwell on my picture list I sent you was marked refractor. It was my mistake and my attention to detail was lacking. It is a diffractor card that I found in my 4 son’s collection that was on your want/needs list. Sorry for the mistake. Thanks again, Garrett

I did not see the facebook post or must have missed it. I just looked at your lists an if I understand the first one is your Want List. The only dupe I have I think is a Manny Ramirez 66 pat# 1 . Regarding the 2nd and 3rd list I could use a 13 pat# 13 (Mark McGwire) for a Same card Same pattern # set that has 75/90 so far). I also see some that might be condition upgrades from a very short list of 15 I am trying to upgrade. Mine in completed 8100 card Master set arent in bad condition but I was a stickler for having cards that were close to mint in my set. Bagwell is card # 74 not 34. Ifo it is a diffractor I can use one for 2nd mixed card Diffractor set that has 14 cards to go,

Anyway what are you looking to do. I have to verify I still have the 66 pat # 1 card in the dupe box. Are you looking to sell the one on those two lists. Email me at [email protected].. I am Carl T in Houston

Right?

I've completed 2 base sets for Erstad and am now focused on Diffractors. Let me know if you have any.

I just decided to re-start this set for Edgar Martinez and I currently have 32 (36%) of the 90.

I popped on over to EBAY since someone has a ton of Edgar's in their store. I went thru their items and now I only have 44 cards in my shopping cart.

I could check out now and pay $900, or just wait and pick the ones I need for a fraction of what they want.
(I just paid $6 a piece for a few of the ones I need vs $20 a piece)

:cool:

I'd just wait it out and get the ones you need for 25% of what that "someone" is asking. The prices he puts on his cards are astounding.

I see Edgar base for $19.95 each. On fleabay??m?.... I am assembling Clemens. I pay up to 4$ each for base or I let them sit. I ve bought clemens DIFFRACTORS for 20.... pre prods for 5 to 10. Would NEVER PAY more 20 for base. Straight lunacy in my book.....

I have been buying them for about $6. If he sends me an offer, I'll reply with I'm just holding them there until I get one at a decent price and then remove it from my cart..

I just looked long enough to see who seller is on those..... makes sense now lol......... But seriously, my last two tek base grabs were under 4, and I just made private deal for about 18 at 3 each. Granted, maybe Edgar is higher value than Rocket..... but that much?

He sent me an offer on each of them one at a time.. Still not paying $18 a card.

I declined one of his offers and said they are there just as a watch list so when I buy them at the $6 range, I will remove them from my list.
