My #d 264/xxx SP Authentic Collection..., (...and maybe other "variants")

[road_runner_1964]

Four (4) colored additions to the pile today.....and much research involved.

First contact was made on 4/22 with penchal21 on ebay, regarding a card he won. After exchanging messages, all he required was a like card. Sent to him as requested, plus a few more.

Ray, thank you!

About 1 1/2 weeks ago, I was searching old box breaks forums, and ran across a thread started 11-16-12. Contacted hairyagryfella about his break on BO. He was a little taken back on my insistence in obtaining the card regardless of "shipping charges" from New Zealand. So he added a couple of additional colored refractor freebies....


Thank you, Graeme!

Finally, after some deep Googling and ebay feedback searching, I ran across the buyer of this next card, reddog1. He purchased to build the colored sets, but was now selling his near-completed sets. I asked him to check on potential other 264/s, and low and behold, he scores a second one.


Appreciate your help, Chuck!

Your dedication to researching and hunting down these 264s is incredible. I can see why your collection is so focused on one/two things.

Another deep dive, ended ebay auction find. marine_1994 just returning to collecting is working the Topps Chrome Camo set, offered to swap me, which I willingly accepted. I was able to send a Dez Bryant Camo for his set as thanks. Another fine addition.

Thank, Jim!

Not a lot of excitement or story with this one, found it in a lot of 15 (nice other cards) on the bay with a BIN. Hit it Weds, received it today. Darn fast shipping....

It'd be fun to see both the SP collection and the variants together in one photo.

So today's additions also has an investigative story. Found a lot that was sold on BO by krav4747 to TPence1970 on 1-31-13. In it was listed 2012 TOPPS CHROME PURPLE REFRACTOR #144 Clay Matthews (264/499). After contacting Ty, he said he already sold it on ebay. Searching feeback, the only Purple Clay Matthews he sold was numbered 284/499, but sold to coachlew10. Now coach is on Beckett, so I tracked him down there, only to confirm in fact that it was 284/499. Bummed, I let Ty know that it was the wrong number, but he replied that he checked his 2011 & 2012 Topps Chrome Refractors and found two of them.....and they arrived today.

Ty, I appreciate the help!
