Wantlist cards that you SHOULD be able to find, but haven't!

joesakic19xx · 01-11-2021, 01:55 AM

Hey Guys,

Obviously most of us have wantlists that contain cards with super low print runs of /10 or /5 or 1/1s.

This thread is NOT for those. This thread is for the cards that you can't believe you haven't been able to track down for whatever reason. Perhaps it's sitting in someone's $1 bin, or someone has it but didn't think it was even worthy to post it for sale. Whether you let these cards pass you by, and another one never popped up, or you've never seen a copy, this is the thread to (hopefully) help out.

My goal is to help some of us knock off some of these pesky cards that should be easily found, but we just haven't been able to do so! Please don't post your whole wantlist, just keep it to a couple if possible.

---------------------------------

I'll start it out with 2 off my list:

2006-07 Topps Luxury Box Blue #77 Andrea Bargnani /49
I own the /9 version of this card, but missing this one and the /19 parallel as well. With 49 copies, you'd think I would've seen one lately, or there would be like 3 available on COMC.

Example:

---------------------------------

2006-07 Topps Full Court Half Court Press Relics Triples #HCP24 Andrea Bargnani /25
Only 25 copies, so still pretty rare, but man I haven't seen one of these ever, since i've been collecting Bargnani with the focus of my wantlist. I have the more common single jersey, and double jersey, but can't track down the triple.

This is sort of on the borderline since /125 was pretty tough at the time, but I never see this pop up and it’s been near the top of my wantlist for a while now.

98-99 UD Encore F/X /125

1996-97 E-X2000 John Wallace Credentials /499
1997-98 Flair Showcase Row 2 John Wallace Legacy Collection /100

I understand both of these sets are pretty iconic, but I’m still surprised these never seem to pop up anywhere. I also collect Alonzo Mourning and I bought his 96-97 Credentials /499 a while ago and I’ve seen like 3 others up for sale in the past year. I’ve never seen the John Wallace. And with the 97-98 Legacy, I have the Row 0, Row 1, and Row 3, but I can’t find the Row 2.

A Topps Gold Tony Bennett RC, Classic 4 sport Tony Bennett auto, or a Front Row Tony Bennett auto that’s sharp enough to gem. Been trying to make a 10 for my UVA PSA 10 RC/auto collection for going on 4 years. Combined print run is certainly high enough that I thought it would’ve happened by now. For context, I made a PSA 10 John Crotty 1991 star auto a couple years ago and that card should’ve been MUCH more difficult to locate in gem quality.

Also a Bryant Stith Classic, Front Row, or Star auto (UVA uniform). The cards are abundant but finding a gem has been a true “needle in a haystack” endeavor.

These:

I have two of the LeBron patches /25 and /99 from this year's set (2016 eternal). But for some reason, the Kyrie eternal jerseys/patches from this year have almost never surfaced on eBay, etc. (and there's supposed to be hundreds of total copies). The 2017 Eternal Kyrie has shown up many times on eBay, but not the 2016.

I think either one or a few people bought all and are hoarding them, or they were never sold from the Panini website. Not sure how else none of these ever surfaced, when even the LeBrons have hit the markets many times.
