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

[oshmeehan]

Was able to cross this one off the list as well. Thats 2 cards in a couple weeks.

2015/16 Panini Complete Gold

Had to get a bit creative on this one. Saw a seller listing a partial Complete Gold set so I asked by chance if they had the Ersan and if they were willing to sell it seperate. They had one and gave it to me for $5.

Awesome you were able to track one down! Sometimes I do similar searches like to see what I can find.

2. Steve Nash Topps/Bowman Chrome red Refractor (any year) - never seen one. 03/04 Bowman Chrome Gold. Also need 02/03 & 03/04 Topps Finest Gold Refractors

3. Steve Nash logoman in a Suns Uni - more difficult to find than you may think thanks to Panini and their constant push to show him in a Laker uni

4. Steve Nash 99/00 Topps Gold Label Red Label class 1/2/3

5.Steve Nash 97/98 PMG Green - ok so not that common but hoping this plug will help my search

Huge update for me, thanks to a fellow blowout member ih8ca (amazing person to deal with) I was able to acquire the #1 on my list.........

This is what BO is all about. I love seeing stuff like this. Sometimes, it does pay to acknowledge what you're looking for!

[Vinny407]

99/00 UD Inkredible Gold Darrell Armstrong /10. Not easy to find but it's my dream card.
00/01 UD Slam Extra Strength Darrell Armstrong 1 /500 & 2 /25.
04/05 UD Exquisite RPA Gold Jameer Nelson /14.

These are a long shot but they've eluded me for years. Great thread idea

[jbarnett83]

Update to my wishlist:

1. Steve Nash 2002/03 & 2003/04 Finest Gold and 03/04 Bowman Chrome Gold

EDIT: Here goes. First off, I'm with you on the MVP Promotion set. No clue what it even looks like honestly.

Low-end stuff:

99-00 and 00-01 Gold Label parallels: Man these are maddening to track down. Are they locked in sets or something? Still need class 1 and 2 black labels from 99-00 (only reason I have class 3 is because a member on another board had it and traded it to me) and class 2 and 3 from 00-01. I'm fairly certain I haven't even seen one of them from 00-01.

00-01 UD Silver /400. I've seen, maybe, 2-3 of these at most in the last 4-5 years. What the heck? It's not THAT rare, in theory.

00-01 Topps Stars /299. Again, I stopped collecting around '97 and these early 2000s parallels elude me.

95-96 Collector's Choice Crash the game golds: There are 3 different ones (1 against 3 different teams). Just super tough to track down I only have 1 of the 3.

Higher end:

98-99 Stadium Club #223 One of a Kind /150 AND First Day Issue /200. Really? I have the 97-98 version and have seen 3-4 more, have the 99-00 as well. I think I've seen one of the one of a kinds and none of the first day issues. What gives?

97-98 through 00-01 Ultra Platinum Medallions: I have NEVER seen 3 of these and only saw the 98-99 one once...since 2013. NO clue where these all are. I know they're rare and desirable but random ones pop up constantly, so why not Mitch??

Now I'm frustrated with collecting again after typing this out haha. Hopefully people keep sending me refractors to assuage my anguish

FOUND ANOTHER ONE!!! That 2000-01 Topps Stars /299 parallel randomly hit COMC and I snagged it for a whopping $1.39. I feel like that card exemplifies this thread. I mean, c'mon, $1.39 but I hadn't seen ONE in 5 years? Crazy.

The bolded stuff I have also found since this thread originated. Also picked up one of the CC Crash the Game golds but still need one more. One of the UD silvers /400 is on ebay every once in awhile, nobody bids at 99 cents because it's $3.95 for shipping. Ugh. Nice to have picked some of these up at least. May check my wantlist and post an updated top 5 needs soon

1.) '97-98 Hoops High Voltage 500 - For having a count of 500, these never pop up. The only one I can recall was a Raw Card Review 8 a couple years ago with a BIN of around $500. No auctions.

2.) '98-99 Hoops Slam Bams - I only remember a BGS 8.5 being up on eBay for a while, which no one ever hit. No auctions.

3.) '99-00 Hoops Pure Players 100% - Only one I can recall is the Probstein listing with the ridiculous BIN.

4.) '08-09 Topps Chrome Gold Refractor - I managed to get my hands on a Red one, so I'm attempting to get them all besides the Super. Haven't seen one of these up yet.

5.) '97-98 Stadium Club Members Only cards, the base, Hoops Screams and Royal Court.

Guess I'll give my update since this is being bumped. Only card I've tracked down is a Members Only Hoops Screams.

There's a Gold Refractor finally up for auction, but some of the bidding looks a little suspicious. Not sure if I'm gonna bid on that one anymore.

Love it! I actually really like those star /299 cards with the bronze foil. I have a Ron Mercer if anyone PCs him still

[buckunteer]

Lolled at that. No, I don't think anyone PCs Mercer haha The one I picked up has surface issues, but having seen 0 in 5 years I figured I couldn't be picky.

2012-13 Panini Brilliance Artists Proof /10

Another one scratched off the list thanks to an infrequent check on the Beckett marketplace.

That's a good spot to check. Once every few months I do the same thing.

Also, I GOT ANOTHER ONE CROSSED OFF!!! Seller is overseas so I'll have to wait awhile unfortunately. I spent more on it than I wanted to, but honestly the ending price felt about right.

There has been one ebayer- no idea who- that has consistently been outbidding me on rare Mitch Richmonds over the past 18 months. I basically snapped and bid like $30 more than I wanted to on this card after seeing he was winning yet another one. It only went up about $14 more than what I had wanted to pay, and based on comps (no Mitch comps, but others like it) it still was an OK price honestly. I just wanted to get that damn card- or at least have the satisfaction of bidding up my competition

Frank Ntilikina Optic gold rated rookie /10 (non auto), Revolution Galactic RC, Chronicles Gala RC /8.

That last one is way less likely but those are the 3 at the absolute top of my want list that I simply have never seen.

Thanks! That card is a product of (probably annoyingly) bumping a wants thread in b/s/t on a daily basis. Pure luck to be honest. Very happy to have it.
