A few key Anstey pickups

[Coopz05]

My quest for every Anstey had slowed dramatically as of late, whilst it becomes increasingly difficult to source the last ones I need.

Until a seller on eBay had the last Rubies I needed. When I enquired what others he may have that I need, I was able to fill in 4 gaps that, although not worth much, bring me much happiness

Last Rubies Ive been chasing

Bronze /100 from an era where literally millions and millions of boxes were released.

This has been surpridingly hard to find. Ive actually never even seen a picture of one, even though I found the /200 very quickly. Now have every auto

This one is the toughest 50c card Ive ever had the trouble of finding the parallel of Thunder.

for anyone who may be able to help with the others, heres what Im chasing:

Only 11 to go, but 6 of them are numbered /5 or less...

Awesome stuff, its so exciting getting some holes filled in the PC! I picked up a ruby from that same set last week, they are amazing cards so congratulations landing it!

Rubies were always under-rated - nice pickups!

I like seeing different PC's like this. Best of luck finding the remaining cards. I'm surprised you haven't been able to find the Topps o-pee-chee parallel, but I guess if someone has them they probably don't feel they are worth posting on ebay or comc.

@KB. another Longely collector told me that a canadian collector told him that one of the OPC sets had a problem in production and either weren't issued at all, or a large number of the cards from the set, never made it into circulation...
