Last Card Needed

[Jantz]

Hi Rich

Back in the late 90s I was building a Bowman Chrome set and got down to one card. I remember reading an article in Beckett that said this set was one of the toughest sets to build from the 90s.

Ironically it was a Cleveland player. I figured since I live here in Ohio, it wouldn't be that hard to find. After months of stopping by card shops...(card shops? What are those?) and hitting a few card shows I would be able to locate this last card.

After months of searching with no luck, I grabbed the latest issue of Beckett and began calling all the card shops advertised in the back of the magazine. Finally found a shop out in Las Vegas that had my last card I needed.

So after months of searching and an inflated long distance phone bill, I finally found that last common card I needed to finish my set. But as we all know, the hunt is a big part of what makes this hobby so enjoyable.
