I was at the LCS each week opening at least a couple packs of each new product that came out, and it seemed like something new came out each week.<br /><br />And then the retail only parallels! It's somewhere between a player collector's worst nightmare and an absolute dream to have so many cards to chase. A decade+ and there are still some parallels that were, at least according to pack odds, readily available and not serial numbered that I have never once seen for sale online or at a show.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04854315904173219584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9108520133795628754.post-40546688399778516562018-01-05T14:03:17.121-05:002018-01-05T14:03:17.121-05:00I really need to do inventory on my Wilson collect...I really need to do inventory on my Wilson collection. It was the Wild West in the mid 2000's in terms of cardboard. Almost impossible to keep track of. Like you, every so often I'll see a card pop up on eBay and think to myself where in the hell did this come from.BobWalkthePlankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16011292576523365641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9108520133795628754.post-52367456719579921182018-01-05T13:31:11.423-05:002018-01-05T13:31:11.423-05:00I remember there being some unreleased cards from ...I remember there being some unreleased cards from 2002/03 sets that came out in the auctions that had never been released. I believe they may have been retired players and presumably the contract with the player/estate fell through.<br /><br />There was a card back to a Jack Wilson card that was never produced that kept being relisted on ebay for years. I think it was one of the patch cards that never came out. At the time, I didn't think it was worth paying $4-5 for a card back if I couldn't at least also have the front of the card. <br /><br />Of course now that I only find a handful of new cards every year that I don't have, I sure wish I would have just picked the darn thing up. Or at least saved a jpeg.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04854315904173219584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9108520133795628754.post-82832849567117296472018-01-05T11:35:16.017-05:002018-01-05T11:35:16.017-05:00No personal experience with the dying days of Flee...No personal experience with the dying days of Fleer - I was only just edging back into the hobby at the time. However, congratulations on tracking down such a mysterious card! Who knows what else is out there?Tony Burbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17916383902665781661noreply@blogger.com
