Whenever I start to doubt the occurrence of the next mailday, i am always surprised with something cool for my Duchscherer collection. Today, I got an email from my friend, Erik, that somebody was looking for the "Duchscherer Collector" on Freedom Cardboard. I had a message waiting for me from "CollectorsCorner", owner of: www.collectorscornersportscards.com He had a 2009 Topps Triple Threads All Star Patch /9! What a beautiful patch. I already have one of those cards, so it does not count towards my 100 non-1/1 goal. However, it is not a duplicate because each patch is unique and awesome. We worked out a quick payment and the card is on its way to me. I'll have a scan up on the website upon arrival.
The ground work is still paying off, as evidenced by this recent find. I guess as long as I stay vigilant and active, the cards will slowly trickle in. Two or three times a week, I bump up my want list to the top of the board on a few different sites. With the birth of my daughter a few months ago, I have really scaled back the hardcore searching. Still, I make sure to do the cursory checks each day and I do believe I'll get to 100% one day.
I haven't heard back in a few weeks from several contacts that I have made. One eBay member was the last known buyer of the 2009 Topps Triple Threads Logoman 1/1. That is one card that I would absolutely love to add to the collection! Unfortuntely, my eBay contact has not responded in about six weeks. I'm hopeful that at least a couple of my contacts will come through with some awesome Duchscherer cards for the collection!
