The low BV yet hard to find Baseball Card Thread

[SpastikMooss]

Everyone is looking for the rare cards, but many among us are also looking for less rare cards, cards that aren't even SP's and have a BV of $10 or less but haven't shown up online for sale in years because sellers assume they aren't valuable based on the player or the book value. So these cards end up "rare" even though they really aren't!

The idea of this thread is to post those kinds of cards in hopes that someone here will have it in a common box to sell or trade you. The only requirement if you post is that you must check back here to see other people's needs too - that way we have more eyes looking for these cards! And if you want to put a finders fee for the card you're looking for, feel free to mention that in your post. It may provide more incentive for people to look for your card. But we have lots of users who will look for cards even without the option of payment too so no worries if you don't!

Post below this post with the card you're looking for (try to list it as specifically as possible including company, year, card #, etc.) and I'll add it to the list!

And please do let us/me know if you find it someday so that I can remove it from the list at that point.

Help us find these! (card listed first, then member seeking it):

Thanks! There's one in football that has helped find a few cards, figured I'd extend it to this board too!

It's severely over-priced. I've certainly seen several of these cards I listed. The seller of this card on COMC actually has a few Lincoln cards I could use but at prices that I wouldn't consider until my income is to a point where paying 3-5X what something is actually worth is economically feasible for me

I believe, that for the purpose of this thread, folks are trying to compile a list of cards that are extremely difficult to find, not just difficult to find at a reasonable price

Yeah technically if it's found it probably shouldn't be on the list. I'm looking for cards that can't be found.

[iluvfish2]

I know these dont have "book values" but cards I'm looking for and have easily bought the last copies that have surfaced for under 10 each.

Updated...thanks for the sticky and for using a nice format!

[Manmadeofsteel]

Also, forgot to mention....Thanks for taking my idea of a finders fee thread/finders fee category further....I think this is a JOB WELL DONE! Not trying to take the credit of making the thread though, just so you are aware.....

[dlab85]

I'm currently looking for

Doesn't have a Book Value , but shouldn't be that expensive

2011 Bowman Draft Chrome #22 Tim Collins - Red Refractor

Also would be interested in the Canary if it were to resurface

[SpastikMooss]

Updated!

And lol, no worries I didn't feel threatened. I actually came up with this after searching "finders fee" and looking for cards on the side. I felt kind of bad because lots of those threads get buried since they're often just one card and so the card never gets found. With this one it's a big list with tons of cards so if people card to search they can search for a bunch of stuff all at once. The football list had one user who has already found two cards in her spare time, so hopefully this one has similar success!

Longoria Masterpieces /50 has been located. This was the 3rd one I had seen for sale.

I actually do the same thing I was referring to my idea of a finders fee thread/category I made a while back. Later I did a poll, but to no avail nothing was done. I hope these threads continue to be helpful and in use

Ohhhh I see now. I searched your thing and found this - Finders Fee Board
All makes sense now haha.

Actually kind of crazy you had that suggestion - on the very same day I made the football one which was stickied too. Lol great minds think alike!

The Low BV Yet Hard to Find Card Thread

[Mrpokey]

I'm looking for some 2001 Topps Finest Refractors to finish my set, especially the rookies. No one sells them cause 99% of the rookies never pannned out, and the base aren't worth enough for people to sell.
