I still have my entire Solo collection (minus 1 or 2 cards) so I guess I never really stopped collecting him, just wasn't actively pursuing many of his cards. I'll post a scan when I get the card in from COMC.

Absolutely AMAZING. Saw this on IG. Awesome that it was a great price too!

Honestly thought it might not exist as I had NEVER seen a copy of it on ebay, in any box breaks, or even in any Google searches. That is until a couple weeks ago when I searched Google for it and found someone in Poland with a copy of it. Currently working on a deal to land it.

Hope you can land the card! It is always cool to find a card you didn't think existed. Hope it is a smooth transaction for you.

and here it is, after all these years. A whopping $1.25 finally brought this baby home.

I think that card literally sat on Ebay for a year or two.

Desperately searching for a 18-19 Hoops Red (#ed/49) of Charles Barkley. I've only seen it once so far

[arkania13]

For me, to search a card and acquired one copy in good price is a journey of self-fulfillness..

Here is my wantlist, and i am open to any offering for below mentioned card..

1. 1991 Star Pics Flashback Autograph -Shawn Kemp- still searching the authentic ones from 2007,

2. 1996-97 SPx Force Autograph #ed/100 - Shawn Kemp- searching for a good copy with un-faded autograph at reasonable price

So crazy how even recent releases can have common-ish cards that elude us. So glad I only focus on Mitch stuff from his playing days. It's at least a bit of self-reassurance when I can't find stuff since it was 20 years-ish ago ya know?

Although, I did forget to bid on a Mitch printing plate from this year's flawless that went for the opening bid (although the opening bidder placed multiple bids on it so it's not like I would've gotten it for $2.24 since the starting bid was $1.99), but I would've at least like to have taken a stab at it!

Some of the Rockets golds I’ve never seen on the market

14-15 Prizm regular gold Drexler
13/14 Prizm gold Marcus Camby
17/18 Prizm gold Nene
13/14 Prizm gold Dwight

If anyone sees any of these plz lmk!!

[Ober12]

I don't really collect any player specifically, but I've been trying to complete a 18/19 Chronicles rainbow for a while now and somehow I haven't seen a single WCJ Orange Elite Black Box listed anywhere, which I thought was odd for a recent card /49. It makes me think of 49 unopened Chronicles boxes in some box/case collectors' stash lol

LOVE seeing this thread continue to live on!

Yeah sometimes it hurts to see what stuff goes for I do not bid on, but there is SO MUCH STUFF.

Those Star Pics can be VERY tough! I was lucky to score a Kukoc in a lot given to me from a dealer at a show. Watch out for fakes!

I bought a Kukoc gold auto and they sent a Zach Lavine to 49 as a protector of the Kukoc. People/Dealers/Sellers do not realize how people are interested in these cards. COMC definitely helps but not too many people take the time to list low end cards that people need.

It makes it very hard to predict which ones to buy straight away, and which ones to skip for 6 months to a year to get it for a fraction of the original price! I saw many of the #ed/25 versions, but very few of the Yellows or Purple Winter (both not serially numbered)!

Following you on IG. GREAT stuff. Those Donruss are IMPOSSIBLE to find. Bazooka blues are also just don't pop up. I will keep an eye out for these. Wonder if there is any unopened UD Premier? One of Kukoc's UD Premier cards was never made which was a dual auto with Kukoc and Noah.

What else is everyone looking for? Doesn't have to be high end.

I saw that on IG .
The weird thing about UD Premier is i own the 1/1 version of the card.

[buckunteer]

damn, saw this thread got bumped and was hoping someone had found another mysteriously elusive card for their PC! Maybe next time.

[Oldschool42]

I’ve talked about before but I’m still looking for a 15/16 John Wall Excalibur Knights Templar (dark gray background) and a /5 16/17 5th Anniversary John Wall. Anyone have a lead?

[MRFINLEY]

98/99 Black diamond quadrople Michael Finley /150
01/02 Fleer marquee we're NO1 insert Vince Carter
11/12 UD All time greats letter B auto Larry Bird /10

If anyone see any of these Plmk

I DID find one I added! Been looking for this one for a while. Since it is a retail release it made it more difficult then it should have been. Got it off of FEEbay.

Also note the professional card holder. Might use this one from now on. I got it from my kids LOL!

Do these even exist??? I'm joking, but almost not. I'm aware of some pretty awesome Admiral PCs, and not one of them includes the elusive green Quadruple Diamond. I have never seen even a picture of this card, nor do I know anyone that has. Shouldn't be so impossible to find at /150, but for some reason, they do seem to be exactly that - impossible. Sorry to see that you are missing one as well, will definitely keep my eyes open for ya on this and the others.

Congrats on this add, the Blue Wave from this year is one of my absolute favorites from all of the Prizm parallels. Looks especially dashing in a Lego.

I am ALSO looking for the quad to 150. I believe I have seen one though.

Thanks! Now all I need is the Gold Pulsar to have all except the one of ones.

LOL possibly? Anything is possible. Actually I am pretty sure there was a guy putting THAT set together on IG or here. He had TONS but no Kukoc.

[buckunteer]

I'm surprised how elusive that quad diamond from 98-99 is proving to be for so many different PCs (Finley, Admiral, Antoine Walker, etc.). Obviously that's why they're in this thread, but I picked up my Mitch a long time ago and I know I've seen at least 3-4 more pop up in the few years since. So seemingly random.

Glad to see you picked one up kukocitb

[buckunteer]

I'm gonna bump my list too. I found many off of my original list but this updated list from mid-2018 has proved more elusive- haven't found a single one yet Someone help!!!

1.) 1997-98 Collector's Choice Stick-Ums Base Card #B23- you know, the ones with the silhouette of the player instead of the player that NOBODY EVER FREAKING KEPT. Can't recall having ever seen the Mitch.

2.) 2000-01 Fleer Stickers- need both Mitch Richmonds (#16 and #92). Were these like a super limited release or something? Just can't find them anywhere.

3.) 1998-99 Stadium Club TRAN First Day Issue #223 /200- yes it's a numbered 90s card, but I saw a couple of these floating around when I first started seriously PCing Mitch about 6 years ago and since I swear they've vanished from the face of the earth!

4.) 2000-01 Fleer Mystique Gold- the 99-00 version of this parallel was 1/4 packs. This version is 1:20. Rarer, sure, but not insanely rare, yet I flat out can't find one!

5.) 2002-03 NBA Showdown base- Yeah, I've barely heard of this product too. Good luck finding one, I sure can't!
