This is the grid not spiral. It goes spiral , grid, shatter , pipe, zig zag, shatter stripe. Then 8 serial numbered. QUOTE=BiggioBrooks755;2232933]So what is the correct list, if you have an any idea?

and is this the Spiral Bricks?

Beckett lists 33...I have 30 on my checklist...How many does he really have, or what cards am I missing?

Thanks

It's been interesting to see what players have value and what players don't since I don't collect current issues. There are a lot of guys I assumed would be popular that get very little action.

Here was something interesting that happened last night... a Mike Schmidt Shatter Stripe didn't sell at $24.99. No biggie. Except that within minutes a Schmidt Pipes sold for $66! What the...!

Although I don't like Belle in the White Sox uni as much as I do with him in an Indians uni... That is for sure playing into his cards not be desired as much. Saved me a boat load. Like I said, I got every one for like $5 or less.

That didn't turn out that bad. Next year he will be in an Indians uni lol

that Schmidt shattered was mine. My guess on the pipes was that there was a red background and people were bidding on a "RED" card.

that's my best guess as to why.

I think it was more of a bidding war for Schmidt collectors since the pipes card is a liitle harder to find.
But not overly rare though.

They are middle of the road rare.
It goes
Spiral Brick common
Grid common
Shatter a little rare
Pipes. A little more rare
Zig Zag rare
Shatter Stripes. And extremely rare

In my RJ quest, 12 Disco #/50 parallels have been listed/sold. 8 Teknichians inserts #/50. But for the Clouds #/25, only 2. Statistical aberration?

Could be, have any cloud data for any other players?

A non-auto search comes up with ~670 active/ended Clouds/50 and ~390 Disco/25. With those percentages for every 12 Clouds there should be ~7 Discos.

Went and picked up 2 boxes. At $65 apiece seems like a pretty fun break at a reasonable price.

Awesome, let us know what you get!

I ordered them online (so did not literally "pick them up" ) but will definitely share if I pull anything nice.

Question regarding the "Shatter Stripe" (NL) and "Stripes" (AL), these are reportedly the rarest of the patterns.

I've recently seen auctions stating a production run of /5 or less for these patterns. Do any of you know how these assumptions have come about? There have been only 2 Frank Thomas "Stripes" come to auction so far, so the /5 or less assumption could hold some truth...

 

[mudflap02]

Beckett lists them differently, forgive me if this has been posted. Differences :

Most common to least common:

AL -

Wave =

Spirals = Spiral

Laser Ice = Scribble

Circuit Board = Small Maze

Cracked Ice = Large Shattered

Stripes = Stripes

NL -

Spiral Brick = Spiral Bricks

Grid = Net

Shatter = Small Shattered

Pipes = Large Maze

Zig Zag = Zig Zag

Shatter Stripe =

Big thanks to [MENTION=3132]Pine Tar[/MENTION] for working out a deal with me on this Big Unit auto...was really looking to add one from this set, definitely a great addition to the collection!

 

[sbjcards14]

I find the Zig Zag (NL) sells for higher than the Cracked Ice (AL) equivalent. Anyone else see this?
