The shatter stripe is the rarest. I've look at all cards and web sites and this thread and only to Gwynns have popped up. The one I got for $16 and the other for $99. I am very happy with my $296 shipped for the 14 Gwynn's. I really don't think its high because unlike belle there are 5-10 crazy bidders that rise Gwynn but I deceided one day to bid on every card at once and people must have known that two day stretch I was getting them lol. You know where I'm coming from because sometimes I back off when I see new product when certain bidders are on. With that said the of 10 reds are half gone and only 4 blues left and shatter who knows and that will go for at least 60-120 next one out in sure same with blue so just those two if you do not have will run you minimum $180 so I gotgiid deal. At least I feel.

Are your buybacks all different? So far I've only seen two and they are different so I'm counting those as multiple. I don't have the card in-hand yet but it's the other variation from '00. So far I'm counting 30 McGwire's but that will change as more buybacks surface (if they ever do).
Here's my "checklist" I've been using to keep track (red need, yellow incoming):
From what I've seen, there are up to 4 different buybacks, depending on the player. Though, there are probably some out there that haven't surfaced yet. Maddux appears to be all redemptions.

Yeah that's the most I've seen, 4 different patterns, 2 of each picture for '00. But I only saw that for one player so far.

Tell my wallet that! In any case, I just have so much older stuff to track down that I have little patience to wait it out on new stuff. And...with some of the newer autos being redemptions, if I know it will actually get redeemed(aka...panini and not topps), I'll buy it. Or if I know it was a redemption but it's live now, I'll snag it. I don't trust waiting because there is no telling if all cards will be redeemed, and if not, the print run is screwed up and now you're looking at less copies. Take 2013 select for example. There is an auto for Bags. I've seen exactly one live copy of the gold /10. I own it. No telling if they were all redeemed. They may parcel the rest out as replacements but who knows. They might not make them at all if the cards aren't redeemed and instead use the stickers on another product. Now you're looking at something that was supposed to be /10 as actually being /5 or /1. Scary really, if you're actually trying to nab them all.

I get the idea that Bell has different cards in this release. I'm counting the following for Bags: The gold/99, cracked ice /75, disco /50, clouds /25, black and white /15, red storm /10, blue dots /5(might have the red and blue print runs switched around on accident here fellas...) and the Charcoal /1. Plus the base, pipes, shatter, grid, zig zag, stripes. Then the four print proofs all /1. Did I miss anything?

yeah they listed a base auto and disco auto which don't exist and they got all his base patterns wrong

I don't know. Anyone who has a base card has 18 all-in. That simple. That includes a 1/1 and the four 1/1s which are printing proofs.

No, I think you're right. That's what I'm counting. You get an extra because of the Tektonics or whatever...correct? And this wouldn't include if your player had a buyback or auto I'm assuming...

Yes, Belle has the Tektonic, so I'm +1 from the base #.
If your guy has buybacks or whatever then he will have more. Belle didn't have any autos or buybacks.

I scored the blue dot /5 last night. Another poorly titled auction. $32 less than the 1/5 non auto.
Im just taking these as they come and not really worried if I finish the rainbow but if I let a few pass it seems the prices are all over the place. I'm going to pace this out and search for bargains.

Prices are ALL over the place. Again, patience helped me get nearly every Belle card for $5 or less all in with shipping. Paid a little more for /5 and obviously the 1/1s.
I missed out on this one - had it open and then got distracted. Great price on it for you.

Nicccceeee.
If Taveras was still around, that card would have made you some great money on the case.

Not quite complete, but fairly close. Missed out on the first 2 /25 Clouds & haven't seen the /5 base Blue Dots (/10 Red is in hand but not pictured). I don't do printing plates/proofs etc.
On the base patterns I'm in for $1-$3 for the common/semi-common four, $30 for Shatter Stripe & $35 for Zig Zag. I can't say if I overpaid or no on the two rarest, as mine are the only auctions that have actually sold. Only 1 other Zig Zag is listed. I can say for sure I overpaid on 2 of the 3 autographs, but whatever, they're super low numbered & awesome. I'm hoping some Christmas Day card opening will yield the Charcoal Galactic versions!
FYI if you're selling, cards look MUCH better against black using a flash, rather than just scanning!
