Does anyone happen to have a lead on one of these cards?

Forever grateful if someone can lead me to one. Id also throw in a finders fee in addition to my gratitude.

Correct. Ive got the patch /400 and the foil of which there are only 2 graded copies. Patch auto is /25 and is some Keyser Soze #@#@#@#@.

Thanks for the luck. Ill need it. Even if I find one, not sure if I can afford it without my wife kicking me out of the house. haha.

In February this year, the 25/25 was listed for sale in Japan for around $6,000—and it sold out within minutes.

I live in Japan, and always have my eye out for these cards. As was mentioned above, that card was listed and sold in 42 minutes, for WAY under what I would have been willing to pay.....think multiples of that price. I have only seen one other pop up for sale that I can recall in the past 10+ years of looking, and I go to most of the card shows, and have let a couple of the better soccer card dealers here know I am looking for these and the prices I am willing to pay.

Too many eyes out these days for all of the limited edition stuff from the late 1990's and early 2000's like Upper Deck Man. United, Megafichas, Merlin Serie A, etc. I look back on some of my purchases from a few years ago and just shake my head at the prices. I used to be able to buy unopened boxes of classic sets for less than the ridiculous new stuff from Topps and Panini. I have graded a decent amount over the years. The below is one of my more treasured cards, Shevchenko Rookie Card in PSA 10, pop 3.....

Regards

Mercari Japan. I believe that people have been able to set up bots to check that website 24/7. These days anything of interest and reasonably priced will sell in 1~5 minutes (the website shows the time from listing to sale).
