1996 Futera Decider cricket - Master Set completed

[curriejak]

Hello again

Well, this set certainly keeps giving ... !

Since I last posted details I have managed to locate several other items, some of which again I didn't know existed and which has me chasing again - hopefully some of you may be able to assist me with a few uncut 4up sheets !

I have managed to acquire two more different uncut 4up sheets being -

1. Regular Frontliners FL5, FL6, FL7, FL8
2. Run Machines RM3, RM4, RM5, RM6 (shiny backs)

I have also located another variety of the Run Machines set - these ones being numbered and NOT FDI stamped but with platinum (not usual gold) colored foil writing on the front - being

RM1 Ponting 3401 of 5000

RM2 Steve Waugh 3338 of 5000

so I am chasing the rest of the four cards for this set if anyone has them of course.

I was pretty excited to also acquire what I think may be a (fairly !) unique set of Steve Waugh Platinum Player cards SW1 - SW5 all numbered 0060 / 500 which I'll try and post a picture of with this post. Who knows what other numbered sets may be out there hiding somewhere after all this time ???

I also was fortunate to get another redeemed Impact card set # 0018 / 500 to go with my # 16 redeemed set. Don't know how many of these 25 sets were redeemed but it can't be many - if anyone is ever interested in one of these redeemed sets I'll let one go for the right price - send me some offers !

Futera Impact Redemption Card FI2 # 0018 / 25

FDI Run Machines RM1 – RM6 #’s 0018 / 25 (6 cards)

FDI Frontliners FL1 – FL9 #’s 0018 / 25 (9 cards)

FDI Steve Waugh Platinum Player SW1 – SW5 #’s 0018 / 25 (5 cards)

So, this set keeps on getting bigger and I'd appreciate any help you can give me to try and get it closer to completion.

I know I am missing Employee Special Edition uncut sheets as well as two other uncut sheets that I'll post similar pics of here if i can get them done.

I NEED the Frontliners FDI stamped sheet containing FL5 McDermott, FL6 Walsh, FL7 Warne, FL8 Bishop and another uncut sheet with the FDI FL9 McGrath card, Warne card # 36 and the XL5 S Waugh oversize box card.

Any help with any of these would be greatly appreciated and any other unusual Decider items as well.

Cheers
John







Hello all

With the help of a couple of OCT'ers in recent months I have finally completed my Master set of this hard to finish series. This includes the Red Foil Warne Puzzle card, the Ponting Signature card, the two Bevan Gold stamped cards, the Steve Waugh Signature set, the Lara numbered and Sample cards and a Redeemed FI set.

I am pretty confident that (apart from maybe the odd ex-Futera employee !) I would have the most complete Master set possible to collect.

All the pack pulled cards are there as well as the myriad of uncut sheets including eleven (11) different 4-ups and 3 different 9-ups.

There are at least a couple of Employee Edition 4-ups that I know I don't have as I missed them on Ebay in the past couple years.

If you have any uncut sheets or other items not listed below then please let me know as I'd be keen to acquire them. There was a variety of numbered and unnumbered chase cards and I don't think anyone knows exactly what is out there ... !

Look forward to hearing from you. I have posted some pics of items on OCT over the past few years but let me know if you want to see anything specific.

And as always, now that the chase is finished, if anyone has quite a lot of $ burning a hole in their pocket feel free to let me know !

Cheers
John

Well done John. One of my all time favourite sets, not just cricket either, of all trading cards ever released.

 

[mounteverest]

Very nice mate

 

[curriejak]

Thanks guys - it was quite a chase. Steve from CardZone made quite a few $ out of me selling me lots of boxes !

massive never thought there was so many cards, well done, mark.

Hello all

So, no-one has found any 1996 Decider Special Employee Edition uncut sheets for me ?

I know there are some 4-ups out there somewhere ... !

Cheers
John

 

[BoondasH1]

There are around as I have a few, however, not for sale.

 

[curriejak]

There are around as I have a few, however, not for sale.

Could you tell me what you have - or maybe post some pics ?

That's why I put my whole list out - so people will know what's out there.

It's difficult when nobody actually knows what's out there.

Thanks
John

 

[Chrisnz]

If you are still looking I have the number nine Cash Card. If you are interested let me know what you are prepared to offer. Thanks

 

[curriejak]

If you are still looking I have the number nine Cash Card. If you are interested let me know what you are prepared to offer. Thanks

Hello there - thanks for the mail. Sorry I was on holiday for about a month and still catching up !

I have one of the number 9 Cash Cards among my Master set so don't really need another. It's obviously the easier one to get than the number 1 Red Cash card which I managed to get after several years of trying !

If you looking to sell it I'd give you $35 odd for it so let me know what you might be after for it.

Cheers
John

 

[Chrisnz]

$35 will be fine. Drop me an email on chris@exnz.co.nz and we can discuss the details.

 

[curriejak]

Hello again - please read my initial email at the beginning of this thread as I have made quite a few additions since I last posted.

Cheers

Hello again

Sorry, I mustn't have come back and looked at these again for some reason. I was just going to post my updates on the set and noticed you had the SW3 Steve Waugh card 218/500.

Would you still have it ?

Cheers
John

 

[wests1952]

Hi John Nice to hear from you How have you been? Sorry that card is gone. Cheers. Les

 

[curriejak]

Hello again all - I'm still adding to my never ending Decider Master set !

Was hoping someone might be able to help me by having a look thru their Acetate Run Machine FDI numbered cards ??

I'm looking for the following three all with # 0018 / 3500 - not quite a needle in a haystack but close enough I guess !!

RM 4 Mark Waugh
RM 5 Stuart Law
RM 6 Michael Bevan

Would really appreciate it if you could have a look for me and offering $50 for each card.

I also found some uncut sheets of 3 cards for the Decider set recently. Can anyone tell me if they have ever seen any of the three card sheets before ?? maybe someone cut up a 9 card sheet ??

I have quite a few spares of the inserts and some complete sets of the common cards if anyone interested in them.

Cheers
John
