88 Topps Canseco. By the time it was the last card I needed, it was no longer a dollar card, a price I wouldn't have paid earlier, but being the last one...
No joy. Every shop said they had a bunch, nobody was willing to find them in the back room for the 25 cents that was then full price.

Took 2 years to find one.
I did consider just buying a set, but that was just too much just to get one card and was sort of cheating.
Well, just like that I figured I hadn't checked in a while and there was one on ebay.
Strange how things work sometimes.
