I know it is top 3-5 but since this thread is SO epic I thought I would do another 5. All Kukoc all the time LOL

1. 1993/94 Upper Deck Golden Grahams German #5- I have some of the other versions but missing this one. Looks just like the Upper Deck rookie but German writing on the back and different number
2. 1993/94 Upper Deck Golden Grahams Portuguese #5 – same as above except Portuguese LOL!
3. 1997/98 Stadium Club One of a Kind #149- numbered to 150 but super hard to find for most player PCers.
4. 1999/00 Stadium Club First Day Issue #43- numbered to 150 and same as above.
5. 1999/00 Topps MVP Promotional #190- unnumbered but rumored to be 100 copies of each. You 90s collectors know these can be VERY hard to find. This is the only one I am missing to have all of them.

I could list probably 50 more but Harper limited it to 5 which is ALLLLLLLLLLL good. Anyone seen any of these?

[Harper]

Huzzah!! Nice addition, sir!!

Agreed! I think the two I have came from a former Kukoc collector. Thanks!

2. 13-14 Pinnacle Blue Artists Proof Ronnie Brewer
3. 06-07 Rookie Debut Platinum/150 Ronnie Brewer
4. 06-07 Turkey Red Relics Red/99 Ronnie Brewer
5. 08-09 UD True Talents Ronnie Brewer
6. 06-07 UD Chronology RB Stitches in Time Auto/25 Ronnie Brewer
7. 10-11 Production Line 89 Press Proof/100 Ronnie Brewer

Knocked 1 and 5 Off the list, so

2. 06-07 Rookie Debut Platinum/150 Ronnie Brewer
3. 06-07 Turkey Red Relics Red/99 Ronnie Brewer
4. 06-07 UD Chronology RB Stitches in Time Auto/25 Ronnie Brewer

[Ober12]

This is more of a multi-player set collection thing (all Brazilian Green Prizms), but I haven't been able to find the last 2 that I need: 2012-13 Prizm Green Anderson Varejao and Tiago Splitter. On a rarer note, I'm also looking for a Hoops Championship Portraits card for Tiago Splitter (Hoops 14-15) and Leandro Barbosa (Hoops 15-16)

[flashinitup]

Have been looking for a 2017-18 Essentials Platinum of Stephen Curry. I know they were SSP (didn't think they were THAT SSP though) and have only come across 1 on Ebay that has been sold.

[DR Murph]

Not an individual player, but still looking for an unripped 2007-08 Topps rip card of Walton/Ming/Robinson that is numbered to 99.

Always awesome to knock something off the list! big or small.

Will keep an eye out for these.

Essentials can be a confusing product...LOL! Hopefully you will find one.

Bumping this up. Anyone else having any luck tracking anything down?

[hopalong]

14-15 Court Kings Kobe Bryant Ruby Portrait /99, only one I need to complete the set

I think that they are ~8-10. Super hard to find in the wild.

[SteveIsLegend]

Not a player, but for my Chronicles master set, these are the ones that aren't super rare but should pop up more frequently than they do:

Vanguard 484 De'Anthony Melton /99 - literally have never seen one, but have seen the gold /10 version.
Chronicles Signatures 20 Tyronn Lue /75 - I see three were listed in 2019, but none listed in 2020.
Chronicles Signatures 42 JJ Redick /75 - None listed in the last six months.
Gold Standard Rookie Jersey Autographs 9 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander /99 - on the official Panini checklist, he is only supposed to have the prime version /25, but three sold last year and haven't seen any since.

All the other stuff that's #/ > 49 pops up frequently enough, I'm just not willing to pay what people are asking.

[maconithappen]

Not PC players, except for maybe Vince, but I have a question on if these cards even exist? Anyone ever seen the game used headbands of these 3?

2002-03 Fleer Tradition Heads Up Game Used
Vince Carter
Baron Davis
Jason Terry

I know you have been looking for these for a while! I know they are not easy finds. I will continue to keep my eye out for them.

Thanks man! I'm pretty sure they are /100 (aren't stamped) and the only one I know exists but don't have is Paul Pierce.

Yeah, that's what I've come to find. I didn't bid enough on the auction last week, the one that sold for $500. And that sale seemed to trigger someone else coming forward with a PSA 10 for sale. Going to hold out again for another raw copy!

Love the Platinums from Essentials!

David Robinson:

1. 2002-03 Topps Black #87: Found!!!

2. 2003-04 Fleer Sweet Stitch (any of the 3): so a lot of this product is on eBay, but none of the three cards he is featured are ever posted.

3. 2000-01 Fleer Stickers #8: so why would you open this product back then? Why? I guess that's why this card never surfaces, since not much of the product was opened

4. 1996-97 Ultra Gold Medallion #G148: So the golds are always difficult, since they are hard to pick out. There has to be thousands of these sitting in 800 ct. boxes from people that busted back in the day.

5. 1996-97 UD Predictor TV Cel redemption 1 #TV16: Seen almost every other one of these come through, but not this one.

Bonus: So the rumored incorrect print run cards that everyone chases, but can't find-
1998-99 Black Diamond Quad Diamond #77
1998-99 Skybox Thunder Super Rave #121

Need more, but these I have never seen or seen one at most

After some research I do believe that the 2003-04 Fleer Showcase Sweet Stitch cards do not exist. In the trading card database he is listed as card #11. The set only has ten cards. Found the 02-03 Topps Black. On its way from Germany.

Top 5 now

1. 2000-01 Fleer Stickers #8

2. 1996-97 Ultra Gold Medallion #G148

3. 1996-97 UD Predictor TV Cel redemption #TV16

4. 1995-96 UD Electric Court Gold #168: not expensive, but can’t seem to find this last one

5. 1998-99 UD Choice Premium Reserve #179: numbered out of 100. Looks like Choice Reserve except numbered, so may be missed in collections.

Too add to list of cards that may not exist is 2003-04 Fleer Showcase Basketball’s Best Memorabilia

Congrats on finding one you needed. Also good to find one that doesn’t exist.

Anyone else had any luck?

[kukocitb]

Bumping this thread up. Hope I am not the only on that has had success in this thread. My new top 5:

1. 99/00 Topps MVP Promotional #190- Print run of 100. The first year of these are TOUGH to track down and I think a lot were tossed in with the base since the fronts look similar
2. 04/05 Upper Deck Promo #105- Any player collector knows Promos can be tough to track down
3. 02/03 Fleer Stickers Hill/Ratliff/AI/Snow/Kukoc #91- Toughest sticker to find
4. 97/98 Topps Minted In Springfield Gold #152- Kind of like a Liger. Impossible to find, and magical LOL
5. 05/06 Upper Deck Performance Clause Jersey Auto Redemption Scratch Off #PCAJ-TK seen almost all other players but Kukoc.
