The toughest modern cards you're still looking for...

On occasion, I've thought about it but shipping would make that an impractical expense for me. It would be nice to find a copy that cheaply, but to save energy I wouldn't mind paying the variation price.

Now that they have a mailbox option, maybe the ones that sellers ship for free (or very cheap) to the Sportlots box would make it feasible for a grouping.

Probably a fairly easy one but it has escaped me and I even bought a box of 1994 Conlon Cards and opened the packs in hopes of pulling it and it STILL escapes me....

1994 Conlon Color Card #32 - Benny Bengough

I have the rare color promo cards of Babe Ruth (1991), Joe Jackson (1992) and Johnny Mize CCD28 (1994) if someone is open for a trade...



Also missing the 2004 Joe Jackson Sweet Spot Patch of the Philadelphia A's

I have one of the Cards Not Included Glossy offer cars

I have a Turn Back The Clock 665 Oliva with and without the copyright on the back, is there another version in which the copyright is blocked out ?

Also have one of the Debut X cards, with Xs on both sides. The Xs are black with yellow background on one side and white with some red borders on other

Yes, per Gilkeson’s book, a 3rd variety of the Oliva exists. I can confirm as I have seen multiple copies.

From what I understand the debut X cards were placeholders on the uncut sheets that were cut and scrapped with some making their way into sets.

There is a similar 60 Leaf variation of Hal Smith as a Cardinal. In one version his team is listed as the Cardinals on the back. In another it is blank, but on a 3d it is blacked out
