Thanks. Well I guess it at least exists. I would assume since they had a 1/1 they would also have the /99 as the tcdb checklist suggests. Just so weird that I haven’t seen one for sale in the last 5 years but have seen many listings for the other rookies in that set.

Saw that now on 130 point. Also hate I missed that mccants/felton/May/Williams quad patch.

The McCants RPA was never made/signed, so that's why you haven't seen one.

There is a special story that goes along with that 1/1 that sold on Goldin. Short story is, that is the only Exquisite RPA that is out there of McCants

That's a very neat McCants card. Would be glad to hear the story if you are willing to tell it.

Also interesting that it's graded a 4.

There are only four non-1/1 cards I need for the Etan master set

2000-01 Upper Deck Gold #220 Etan Thomas /25
2000-01 Upper Deck Gold #271 Etan Thomas /25
2000-01 Upper Deck Ovation Standing Ovation #72 Etan Thomas /50
2000-01 Upper Deck Slam Extra Strength Gold #62 Etan Thomas /25

Is this the #220 you are looking for? Seems like there was a Game Used Edition that year, so I'm not sure if this is it.

And this is why you guys get paid the big money. Thank you for this information. Can you please elaborate on this story of why the cards don’t exist? I love the stories like these that a lot of you guys have.

At least I know not to search for this one. McCants isn’t in the best standing in Tar Heel circles anyway so not too sad that his one doesn’t exist to pair with my other 05 national champion exquisite RPAs. Just glad to know and I certainly wouldn’t spend big bucks on a 1/1 of that clown.

Now if Panini had only made an 09 national treasures RPA of Danny green. That is a cards we wished existed instead of a cards we can’t find issue though.

I am pretty sure the Black Diamond Quadruple diamond does not exist. Never seen the Kukoc and many other people have not seen them for their PC. Based on this thread there is a around 30 cards not seen which explains why there are rookies to 150 which also is 30 cards

[gomiamigo]

Well, the SPA Durant rookie Logoman was revealed in a post that had a link to the card on Pinterest of all places. That's one down, Ultimate still not seen afaik.

[kukocitb]

Gotta bump up this EPIC thread. I’ve been collecting Robin Lopez for a while, but have started hunting for more. Here are 5 that I feel I should have found by now.

I have the Hornacek Thunder Rave and would be willing to move for the right deal. Sent you a PM.

[Harper]

I haven't found any from my list since my last post in January 2023, but figured I'd try to keep the thread alive and mix it up. New top 5...

1) 1998-99 Skybox Thunder Rave /150
Still number 1 on this list. The next highest serial numbered card from Harper's playing days I need is the Super Rave /25. Some of the other cards from the same era I have a stash of (for example I have 10 copies of the 00-01 Upper Deck MVP Gold script /100 card). These raves just blend in too well with the bases... I have a few of other players (Hornacek, Manning, S. Anderson) and they are not impressive cards. Just very hard to find...

2) 2000-01 Topps Gold Label Leather Jersey Home
This is the only unnumbered pack pulled cards from Harper's playing days I still need. I have still never seen one for sale.

3) 1991-92 Fleer 3D Acrylic mail in redemption
Never seen one. I know he was on the Clippers but did no one care about this guy back then to request the 3D card? I've seen ones made of bad coaches and 8th men, yet no Harp.

4) 2021 Topps Finest Black refractor /15
I'm replacing some of the old ones that I've seen copies of but that have just been sold or listed at insane prices. This card is now 3 years old and I've never seen a copy. I have the auto but not the base.

5) 1997-99 Stadium Club printing plates /1 x8
Harper has 8 plates between 1997-98 and 1998-99. I have never seen one. I own 17 plates from the 1997-98 Stadium Club. I even busted a box and found an Allen Iverson. But I have never seen a single copy of any of the Harper cards.

Let me know if you see any!!!

[GuacamoleCards]

This is far more modern than most in this thread but I'd thought I'd give it a try.

I collect Charles Bassey (he went to my HS) 2021-22 Spectra RPAs and only need the following:

/8 Purple Wave FOTL

/5 Marble (one on eBay for way too high of a price, but I might need to grab it... guy won't accept offers even though it's been up for about 2 years)

/1 Black Asia

/1 Nebula Logoman

I've pretty much given up hope on the 1/1s, but if anyone happens to come across the other two and wonders to yourself "wtf am I gonna do with this bum" - I'm your guy! DM me!

These cards are quite short printed, so it doesn't truly fit the theme of the thread...but I haven't seen a copy pop up in YEARS, so let's give it a shot!

I had no idea there were Bargnani cards you didn't have. LOL! Makes me wonder if those people who were buying up all rare Turkey reds are still sitting on them.

Found the 2000-01 Topps Gold label leather card! It was the last lakers' card I needed (that I'm aware of).

My new replacement is:
2021-22 Panini Obsidian Aurora Autographs Electric Etch Red /5

Never seen one. It is a color match parallel but these cards don't really have a ton of color to them. Mostly black with thin etching.

Happy hunting everyone!!
