The Quest for 35!

My seemingly never ending quest to acquire all of the various Barry Larkin cards from the 2022 Topps Chrome Platinum Anniversary set continues with my latest purchase:



That's a Speckle Refractor #/150.  This is the 20th different Larkin card from the set that I now own.  Amazingly, there are still another 14 cards* that I have yet to track down!

*I've ordered the Blue Mini-Diamond Refractor off of COMC but who knows when that shipment will actually arrive as they have incredibly slow shipping times still!  Still, I'm going to count that as a card I don't need to track down, even if it isn't quite in hand yet.

For as much progress as I have made, there's still a long ways to go - and unfortunately there's a bunch of fairly rare #/25 cards on there that I probably won't ever find in my price range!

  1. Topps should have made one more parallel... so you could fill four 9-pocket pages. Better yet... they should have produced 26 less parallels... so collectors only had to fill one page.

    1. LOL, well, there are a bunch more that are serially numbered to values less than 25. I decided a long time ago that I'm going to ignore anything with a stated print run below 25. In hind sight, I think I should have said I'd ignore anything with a print run below 50...I may end up going that route down the line!
