Nice card. I bet that redemption card was hard to find. I'm glad Thomas didn't have a silver refractor.

Is it me, or are these in the same league as the Topps MVP parallels? I've had a hard time finding any of my players except that Glaus.

They are definitely tough, but at least for me, I am still looking for my Players MVP parallels. I never see those!

Finally found one of these 2001 Topps HD Platinum. Seem pretty tough for a card /199 (might have been mentioned a ways back)

Seeing as how this might have been the biggest 5 tool prospect bust of the 2000s, the serial number seems fitting. He'll always hold a special place in my collection, though. His #20 was the first (and only) baseball jersey I've owned. Only the first 100 were autographed.

Now you need the sample version. And yes...these are freaking awesome!!!

Does anyone have the bronze or black parallels to 2003 Topps Kanebo's? I have never once seen a Griffey.
I rarely see the common green if ever..

 

[magicpapa]

do the pictures differ from the reg topps cards?

 

[Jack Straw]

The only thing difference is the lack of the Topps logo on front and all Japanese text on back.

 

[magicpapa]

ah................ ill have to look, maybe i got one from somebody

Topps' entry into the Land Of The Rising Sun. Pretty neat stuff! I'm not sure if this was an intentional insider's "joke" - but the card number assigned to Big Frank was his jersey number in reverse. (Traditional Japanese is written/read opposite than us folks in the West)[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Collector's Note: There were two parallels to this issue - Gold border (Uncommon) and Black border (Rare), the common has a Green border.

Thankfully Cirillo was in the "second series" which did not have parallels that I'm aware of. Took me forever to find this one

I got the Larkin UD collectibles Team set Larkin in the mail today - Thanks again for sending it to me, I really appreciate it. The generosity on this site is awesome!! I actually just sent a Griffey Kanebo to someone last week. I bought the Reds team set and offered up the Griffey, Casey, and Dunn to other collectors who needed them for an SASE. They got claimed pretty quickly. Not sure if the Griffey collector is on here or not, since I offered them up on Beckett, right before I joined here. They are cool cards though!

Here is one of my favorite patches that I have:

Frank Thomas is in Series II and has at least the regular and bronze that I have seen. He may also have the black but I have not seen one. So I'm guessing you might need at least the bronze too.

Edit: The previously posted Griffey also has a mislabeled PSA holder. It should be Series II instead of Series I. Series I looks like the basic 2002 Topps design and Series II looks like the basic 2003 Topps design.
