Player collectors, 3-5 cards you should be able to find but cant - Page 17

kukocitb · 03-10-2023, 04:37 PM

Bumping this thread up.

Just realized there as a Kukoc that I didn't know existed.

2001-02 Fleer Shoebox Retail Footprint #130 (unnumbered)

I knew there was the base and the Shoeprint to 150. It is similar to the shoeprint to /150, but the font on the front is Blue instead of Red. The base is black font. Anyone have one of these?

oshmeehan · 03-15-2023, 10:26 PM

These are the ones that bother me the most as I have never seen any of these and the three unnumbered cards are the only unnumbered Ersan's I don't have, while the Prizm #/42 is the highest serial numbered card I don't have.

2013/14 Panini Retail Red Knight
2019/20 Hoops Premium Stock Red Wave Prizms
2019/20 Hoops Premium Stock Teal Wave Prizms
2020/21 Panini Prizm Pink Pulsar Prizms #'D /42

gomiamigo · 03-22-2023, 02:01 PM

Still haven't seen either Kevin Durant rookie Logoman surface from Ultimate or SP Authentic, has anyone?

sotexcollector · 03-23-2023, 09:13 PM

My most wanted card would be Paul George's 2019-20 NBA Hoops Premium Stock Teal Wave. Does anyone have any idea the print run on these teal wave parallels?

sample card below (blue wave)

I would also like to track down Paul George's Optic Preview card from 2016 Panini Donruss.

The Teal Waves are exclusive to the Mega boxes

See my post a couple above, the Teal Wave I was looking for as well, then one finally got listed on eBay a couple ago so I offered $10 for it and got it.

A while back gymratcards had a breakdown and estimate PR for Hoops Premium Stock. From what I recall he estimated the print run at around 10 to 40 for teal wave. He did mention it was likely much closer to 10 and possibly even less. I had a shot at a Lebron but wasnt sure how rare they were and someone else scooped it.

Eddie Jones 1994-95 Finest Refractor RC. I have seen it live only once in my life. I've been collecting for 25 years!

Jaybreeze26 · 04-22-2023, 11:30 PM

J.J Redick Cards Hard to find
1. 2006-07 Upper Deck chronology letterman /10
I have seen just one of these in 13 years and had an emergency. I missed and I am still kicking myself for missing out on it. For the longest time I even think the card existed.

2. 06-07 Topps Triple Photo shoot Redick/Morison/foy
Yet another card that I have only seen 1 time and wasn’t able to get bc of some extra bills that month. One of my favorite cards of Redick of all time.

3. 06-07 Topps Chrome X-Fractor Auto /10
There was recently one listed on EBay but the guy wanted $2000 and I just couldn’t pay that dice just a month before that I bought a BGS 9.5 variation/10 for only $500.

4. O6-07 Press Pass Legends Nasmith Award Winner’s Go Duke inscription/24
I want this card more than any other card on this list, actually this is my favorite card of all cards even the ones I already have.

5. 06-07 SP Signature Edition Gold /10
As long as I have been collecting I have never seen this card. That makes me want it very baldly.

If anyone knows where one of these cards are at plmk bc if I am able to make a deal for it I will pay you a finder’s fee.

discodanman45 · 04-23-2023, 12:12 PM

For my Smits collection I have seen a few very rare cards, but was not willing to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for his cards. I have not seen the following cards, which I really want.

1991-92 Fleer 3D Acrylic #86 Smits
1996-97 Ultra - Platinum Medallion #P-47 Rik Smits /250
2015-16 Panini Prizm - Orange Wave Prizms #290 Rik Smits

I see his /100 cards all the time, but the Platinum Medallion /250 is nowhere to be seen. The most bizarre is his 2015-16 non-numbered Orange Wave Prizms. I have hunted down his White Sparkle from this rainbow and even know where his /10 and /1 are in collections. This Orange Wave Prizm being nowhere is insane to me.

2.) 2000-01 Fleer Mystique gold- way rarer than the 99-00 counterpart. But not numbered, so nobody cared. Horrible to find.

3.) 1990 Hoops Action Photos- giant pictures that most kids probably tacked to their wall. Found an ENORMOUS stack of them at the national this past year- but no Mitch among them somehow.

4.) 1998-99 Stadium Club TRAN #223 First Day Issue /200- a late 90s parallel that I should have seen by now. I've seen 2 24 kt golds and 3 spx grand finales the last 3 years- but none of these. What gives??

5.) 1999-00 Gold Label class 2 black label- Oh, great. Another rare-but-unnumbered parallel from the era when Mitch was still playing but I wasn't collecting (1998-2002).

Success!!! Corey (don't care go cats on IG) found an extra 00-01 mystique gold and sent it to me!!! I have one of the two Fleer stickers as well now, the team one. Still need his individual one and literally cannot ever recall seeing it

I'll revisit my collection and see what my new top 5 should be soon!

Have a few low print ones on my list that have eluded me thus far:

Mamadou N'Diaye - 2000-01 Ultimate Victory #114 - Ultimate Victory (#/25)
Erick Barkley - 2000-01 Ultimate Victory #115 - Ultimate Victory (#/25)
Erick Barkley - 2000-01 Ultra #215P - Platinum Medallion (#/25)

Erick Barkley - 2000-01 Upper Deck #353 - Exclusives Gold (#/25)
Mamadou N'Diaye - 2000-01 Upper Deck #229 - Star Rookie Exclusives Gold (#/25)
DerMarr Johnson - 2000-01 Upper Deck #209 - Star Rookie Exclusives Gold (#/25)
DerMarr Johnson - 2000-01 Upper Deck #246 - Exclusives Gold (#/25)

Would love to track all of these down, but looking for any MCI stuff.

Still haven't tracked down any of these but I did find an Erick Barkley 2000-01 UD Ovation - Standing Ovation #/50 the other day.

Nothing super crazy but was the last of the 6 Ovation I needed to snag so feels good to find it!

BuzzedWoody · 05-06-2023, 10:06 PM

Looking for 2020 Terry McLaurin Mosaic cards. I have 17 out of 32 and am looking to complete my rainbow.

DM me if you have any serial numbered or SSP cards.

Thanks

Did they make these for everybody? Do I have another obscure early 2000s Mitch to track down that nobody has/cares about/noticed?

yep.... With it being retail I am sure they are IMPOSSIBLE to find. Never seen a kukoc but didn't know it existed either.

Finally saw one for sale on eBay from a seller from Canada and grabbed it! I have 5 of his Orange cards /65, but this Orange Wave eluded me for over 3 years. It is silly what makes a collector happy to find.

The marking "in-transit" on TCDb and then marking it in the collection when it arrives is very satisfying!

Panini keeps on adding Smits cards with a million parallels though, so each year my completion percentage keeps on going down. I want to get over 500 unique cards by the end of the year and I am getting close.

I mean honestly if NOBODY knows about them and even Beckett doesn't have them listed it's a "if a tree falls in the woods" kind of scenario, right?

on a happier note as some of you probably saw on IG, mdmille2 randomly reached out after the last bump of this thread with the 00-01 Mitch Fleer sticker! Still shocked that Mitches I need are hiding on the boards after all this time, but I'll keep posting as long as I have some successes from time to time

mickaeldvdt · 09-22-2023, 06:04 AM

List down to 3

2005-06 Topps Bazooka Blue 183 Johan Petro (#ed x / 5)
2008-09 Upper Deck First Edition International Gold 77 Jeff Green - aka China Edition - OddBall with Johan Petro on the front card
2010-11 Panini Donruss Die-Cut Ruby 264 New Jersey Nets CL (#ed xx / 25)

Early this year I bought 75+1 of the same card, card was not produced by UD because of the missing auto of Petro
2005-06 UD Trilogy Duomarks #DM-BP Andrew Bynum/Johan Petro

And bought 2 copies of this one
2005-06 Upper Deck Exquisite Foursomes EF-ALSP Ray Allen/Rashard Lewis/Robert Swift/Johan Petro (#ed x / 3)

drobfan8 · 09-22-2023, 04:35 PM

I still can't find a Flawless base diamond of Manu.

Congrats on finding the Standing Ovation... I'm not even sure if the Etan exists or not as I have never seen one in 20 years

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

McCants exquisite RPA. Listed on checklists but I’ve never seen one. Not sure if it actually exists. I’ve seen tons of RPA listings over the years for most other rookies in that set. Need it to completa my 2005 Heels national champions exquisite RPAs. I’ve never seen a shortage of listings for Sean May, Raymond Felton, Marvin Williams, or David Noel. Never seen a mccants.
