LOVE THIS THREAD!!!!

2000-01 Fleer Mystique Gold #31- Not numbered. I am pretty sure I have never seen one of these.
1999-00 Topps MVP Promotion #190- What everyone said above. PAIN
2000-01 Fleer Sticker #91 It has the heads of all the 76ers starters. Looks like the Fleer Traditions card but it is a sticker.
2010-11 Donruss Jersey Kings Die Cut Sapphire #21 #ed to 49 /2010-11 Donruss Jersey Kings Die Cut Ruby #21 #ed to 25 Really enjoy the Donruss brand. Seems like these are pretty hard to find.
Collector’s Choice foreign releases!!! NEED a BUNCH. There is a guy in Canada that has TONAGE of Collector’s Choice but some of the foreign ones are in sets and he will not break. He is good to deal with. His paypal ID memorabiliainvestments@hotmail.com. He did send PWE but the cards arrived safely. Email him and give him the list of what you need.

I had/have both the Sapphire and Ruby Jersey Kings of Kukoc. I believe I sold them both a couple years ago though.

If you run across them I would be interested. Keep an eye out for me. Thanks!

[derder]

nice thread. i love seeing the cards people think dont exist pop up.

the few seemingly easy ones i've yet to see are

1. 06-07 Fleer Walmart RC Ronnie Brewer
2. 08-09 MVP Gold Script/100 Ronnie Brewer
3. 13-14 Pinnacle Blue Artists Proof Ronnie Brewer
4. 14-15 Hoops Great SIGnificance auto Ronnie Brewer

im sure the walmart rc is just sitting collecting dust as anyone who has it probly thinks its not worth their time to list

the blue artists proof i dont get because all the other versions pop up and i've seen blues of other players just not mine... dangit

and the Significance card is annoying because he only had two cards produced that season and the other is a the parallel version of the significance numbered to 10 which i have... so i cant locate the friggin base version!!!

[barkley5969]

Love this thread. Hopefully a few people can find some of their white whales. I have a few Barkley cards that have been dodging me.


99-00 Finest gold #187, 98-99 & 99-00 Bowman's atomic refractors(all numbered to /100)- they've came up a few times, but I've lost out on them
99-00 Finest 24 karat gold refractor- one showed up about a year ago, and nothing since
99-00 Finest Box office draws- There is one listed on ebay, but it is way more than I am willing to pay. Only one I've seen in about 1.5 years. Opened about 5 boxes of Series 2 finest, and haven't pulled a BOD or 24k refractor of any player. These are really tough pulls

[buckunteer]

24k refractors are a NIGHTMARE man I feel ya. I was down to needing just 3 Mitch refractors to have all of them and that was one of the three. Luckily a member on here had found one somewhere and put it on his COMC so I snagged it.

[Roargan]

I have been collecting Nene Hilario cards for around 12 years, because he is a lower valued player not much of his SP stuff is worth it for people to list on eBay. Because of that much of my best finds came from dollar type boxes at local shows! Last year I went to the national show for the first time and found a bunch I had needed. These 5 cards are really not that rare but for some reason have evaded me.

[MGoBlue]

Here's some Webber head scratchers from the 00s that I can't find:

00-01 Fleer Stickers #84 Does anyone have one of these for their player??

00-01 Fleer Authority Prominence /75 I have multiples of the /125 but have never even seen a /75. And apparently there are 25 that are graded?????

01-02 Fleer Marquee Banner Season #16 Base card. Really!?

02-03 Fleer Box Score Classic Miniatures 1st Edition /100 I've never seen a copy

02-03 SP Authentic Beckett.com samples

02-03 UD Glass Beckett.com samples

03-04 Fleer Mystique Awe Pairs Gold /59 Just a base card.

03-04 Topps Pristine Generals Relic. Not numbered. Simple jersey card. I've seen several of the refractor /25, but never even a pic of the regular.

03-04 Topps Rookie Matrix Minis Triple Double & Swish

03-04 Topps Rookie Matrix Minis Relics /50. Member on here has the only copy I've ever seen.

04-05 E-XL Court Authentics Die-Cuts /75

04-05 Fleer Throwbacks /50

04-05 SkyBox Fresh Ink Five on Five Kings/Blazers BASE card I have the jersey card and 3 stinking copies of the patches /10 card, but can't find the BASE!?

05-06 Hoops Genuine Coverage......I don't even know what this looks like. It's not numbered but I assume it is a jersey card. Anyone have any from this set?

06-07 Bowman Bronze /50 Why is this so hard to find????

06-07 Upper Deck UD Game Patch Not numbered. I have a couple of the UD Reserve patch, but can't find the plain UD card.

I just got the #ed to 75 Kukoc for dirt cheap lately. The way I understand it is that the #ed to 75 were inserted already graded in boxes. I am not sure about the #ed to 25 though. The numbered to 125 were not graded in boxes. Hope that helps.

Thanks, Jeff. I've never understood how they worked with all the graded ones. They did 3 different ones that year......this one, With Authority, and Authority Figures. All had graded versions. But this one is the only one I've never seen.

This is correct. I bought a box of the product when it came out and I pulled a graded Juwan Howard #/75 out of my box

I second this. All 75 of Ron Harper's /75 are graded.

Also, the team fleer sticker cards are hard to come by. I have been collecting the set if I see cards for cheap. I don't think they are that rare, just not listed often. They hit 1 per box, but checklist is 100 cards so fining any specific card is rough.

I have 4 of the team stickers, but no webber

I'm not sure the Five on Five base insert was ever inserted into packs. I ended up getting one off eBay years after the product released - only one I've ever seen. I suspect it may have been a Fleer Bankruptcy card.





The Genuine Coverage was also a card that I was unsure was released in hobby boxes. I did not find one until a few years after product released. Consequently I think I have seen a handful more turn up.

[Tarheelsfan2012]

Found a card today for Matt, even if it was just a base card!

Beckett has a picture of the Genuine Coverage but no leads for it

I tell him all the time how it's one of my favorite cards in my pc, but I think he thinks I'm just giving him high praise because he found it. I'm not. The card is AWESOME.

But like you already know, not numbered and only 1:300, these cards should be easily found.

And then you have the 97-98 Upper Deck Game Dated Memorable Moments (1:2,500 in the ridiculously golden years of hobby collecting) floating around everywhere for less than $15 a piece!

And yet, a 1:300 pack card from 00-01 cannot be found?! Stranger Things! haha

[byronscott4ever]

The 00-01 Fleer stickers were just for rookies, checklists and Unsung Heroes I think...Beckett lists it like it's a parallel but I don't believe that's right

[MGoBlue]

This thread is an absolute wealth of knowledge!!! And thanks tarheelsfan, I've never been so excited about a base card in my life. Lol

Sooo, it's a 100 card set. They did randomly throw in about 6 base cards to get to the round number of 100. I actually own 3 of these base cards (Greg Anthony, Brent Barry, Jon Barry), so I do know that some exist.

The first 6 cards are all regular issues. Don't have a clue why. The others are Unsung Heroes, rookies, and checklists. Someone on eBay was not budging from $100 for the Spurs checklist and have never seen the Unsung Hero David Robinson #8. Happy to learn about the genuine coverage issues being so hard to find at 1:893 packs. Never seen the Robinson.

Wow, you were able to pull the home jersey version from a blaster?!?
Nice
Can you post a pic?

It took me about 80 trillion years to get that Spurs checklist. I paid thirty bucks for it and considered that a bargain.
