The 1998 Topps Tek Thread

[BenG76]

Will do. I have been picking up several from all 3 years so far. Still trying to figure out 2000 Tek. They are all cool looking cards. I am picking up what Cubs I can find that are reasonably priced. I saw there were few to pick from on COMC and sportslots the patterns don't seem to be labeled it just has the card number.

New lot of what is mostly 1998 Teks. Fair number of them heavily spotted too. Includes Belle, Lankford and a couple of Buhner. This seller did have a few 1998 diffractors in his(her?) last lot, but none in this despite the listing title. Not sure which card is supposed to be the newly discovered 2004 Tek.

Good spot. There is one Belle but it's a base and without being home, can't tell what pattern number it is... anyone know from just seeing it? I'd be interested in splitting the lot if it happens to be one of the four patterns I'm looking for obviously.

 

[George_Calfas]

Can anyone could help on the Lankford pattern that would be cool? I just dont know my patterns that well.

 

[corockies]

Belle is pattern 84
Lankford is pattern 64

Big thanks to Gracecollector for having the single best page ever for determining tek patterns (he has all 90 Grace patterns in order):

[George_Calfas]

Thanks, I need Lankford 64 and would be willing to chip in force but the lot, anyone need more than 1 card?
