Odds I get the last four Belle base patterns this year? I'd say slim to none

I bid $20 on the Larry Walker figuring no one had bid on it yet. Lost it for $20.49 in the last few seconds lol. Someone has some snipes set up.

Also the Biggio diffractor guy in WY is crazy - selling them 5 at a time - he just put 5 more up tonight. I wonder how many total he has. Impressive he has 10 of them diff. patterns (so far).

Just saw the Biggio Diffractor go for $26.

It seems like there are a ton of diffractors on ebay right now. Is this a trend because people are starting to notice the market or is just a fluke?

IMO it's just a wave right now... someone must of came across a collection or opened up some boxes and now just listing it all. It's happened before but not normal to have so many listed new at once.

I picked up the Albert Belle diffractor for more than I thought it was worth... who was I bidding against? Had to be someone in here...

Yeah, this is not good news for those of us that collect the common guys. Maybe rinkrat needed them all for his master set? That's what I was hoping, anyway...

Mac,

What was the Belle diffractor pattern # on the one you got? Couldn't find any completed Belle diffractor listings on eBay. Maybe I need another cup of coffee to wake up.

Picked up a few diffractors in yesterday's auctions, but for the most part no one else was bidding. And fully half of the cards listed were duplicates for me. Got two Biggio diffractors; the other three he listed were duplicates for me.

Albert Belle Diffractor, Card #47 and Pattern 48

I have that pattern. Don't remember seeing it listed, but must have just passed it by. Must have been a couple of the other myriad of Joey Belle collectors bidding against you.

So he went by Joey in his early years?All his rookies are printed that way.

Yes, his early cards were Joey Belle... I could do a hard check but not many, maybe a dozen or so.

DJSportsCards has listed about a hundred single '98 Teks on eBay. If you missed any of these the first couple of times he listed them, now's your chance. A few of his scans look like diffractors, but that's glare and the angle of his picture. He knows diffractors and has identified them in his listings before. It's unfortunate that the cards aren't in any sort of order. Like he let his two-year old organize them for him.

[MENTION=8009]rinkrat38[/MENTION] - Where all do you look for Tek cards? I mean eBay, COMCs, Beckett Marketplace, etc. are all obvious but do you go to shows or like check Amazon or like Craigslist or something? Feel like there are few places you can even look on a daily basis... just a waiting game I guess.
