25 different diffractors? Nice! How long have you been collecting your players? I barely started with Caminiti last year. Wish I would have started a long time ago but I didn't know much about collecting or player collecting when I was a kid and I stopped collecting for a long time until last year.

25 is pretty amazing - Congrats!
25th Diffractor pattern landed last nightA gold and a diffractor that I needed found in one week, very unusual! Lame ebay scan, was pattern 77.

Grace since 1990. Also collect Don Zimmer, since 2008. I've pretty much looked for diffractors since 1998 and 25 different is all I've found in 14 years. They really are tough. They look good all together:

Sweet post! I wish I had been collecting them all along. I'd have quite the collection!
So funny how prices go - were you surprised to get the Grace for less than $10? What's the most you've had to pay at auction? I got my three Buhners about a year to a year and a half ago. I can't remember how much I paid, but it wasn't much. After getting those three I didn't see another until that one that just ended. Prices can fluctuate so much!

Prices are ALL over the board for both '98 and '99... honestly, it has to do with whether one of these "Master" set collectors needs it or not.

Well someone sent me a PM here (new member) asking about my checklist for what I have when it comes to tek cards... saw I had a Bonds... sold that to him and he put me in touch with a buddy who is a "master" set builder... turns out I had 3 or 4 cards he needed for his set, so he sent me all these Belle's I need in an even exchange... I was happy to do the two deals obviously

Dude, tell me about it! Literally he was like "send me the Belle patterns you need" and came back with 14 I needed... Before I could even start the "what do you want for them" talk, he was like "Ok, send me the 3 cards I need and I'll get these in the mail to you tomorrow". Wish they all went like that is right...

Surprised at $10, but not the least I've paid. The card was at $9.00 with one bidder all week. My snipe was $30. Very happy it went off at $9.50! I usually pay around $15 for a Grace, but have gone upwards $25.

No... that will be next week... that was another interesting story... so won one of them on eBay and the guys messaged me after I paid and said "by the way, are you interested in other Belle Tek Golds"... obviously yes... long story short, we ended up putting together a HUGE trade for one additional Belle Tek Gold and the sole base pattern I need from '99
for about a dozen '99 base tek patterns he needed from my singles list! Another jackpot deal for meLet's just say in one week I trip, fell and landed on a Topps Tek jackpot

Not sure if it was you or the other guy but someone has an amazing Andruw Jones diffractors collection. I would love to see that pic again.
