The 2011 Topps Baseball Hope Diamond Parallel Set consists of 1,064 cards -- 990 Active Players and 74 Legends. Each of the blue diamond / sparkle parallel cards is serial numbered to 60.

After 3 years, I now have 1,061 of the 1,064 cards, with three to go:

280. Andrew Bailey
497. Alex Avila

US207. Frank Robinson (Reds)

If you have any of these cards available, or if you know anyone who does, PLEASE let me know.

Many thanks.

Wrong one...guessing OP not worried about $70 at this point.

Bhenry4 is correct -- if that had been the Robinson I needed, I would have grabbed it in a heartbeat.

THANKS to everyone who is trying to help find these final three cards. Much appreciated.

That's nuts! I have to ask, did you pick up the Trout in 2011 when his stuff was selling close to what every other rookie was selling for, or later on after he exploded?

Got the Trout when it was still under $150. Actually had one for $35 in an ebay auction early on, but the guy never shipped it. Never a dull moment when you're trying to compile a 1,064 card set!

Have you seen the O's version? Something tells me that it might have never been made.

Still looking for these three cards (and, to Bhenry4's point, hoping they actually exist). Would love to wrap this up by Christmas, and will very much make it worth your while for anyone who can assist.

Happy Thanksgiving.
