Thanks!

True, true.
But even when it was first released, nothing /10 or /5 ... never saw one on ebay.

Yeah, I won't give up that easily. Hopefully it turns up one day. It may not have been opened yet. And it might be a redemption that will go stale and I'll never see it.
I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value.

If what I am looking at is correct the only one you are missing are the atomic refractor /5 and the superfractor 1/1. Nothing on the beckett OPG or Cardboard connection about a version /10.

D'oh! Maybe that's why it wasn't showing up on eBay
but either way, been searching for the /5 and nothing .... Been searching for the 1/1 and found the plate, but never saw a superfractor either. But thanks, I feel like I'm one step closer without having to buy a card.
( that's what i'd call a rainbow-bargain )

Redmeptions are a set collectors biggest enemy haha. I hate them! But yeah I've been waiting on a 2008 finest card /25 for years now to complete a rainbow. The problem is they were redemptions that came in entire sets so anytime I've found one the person isn't interested in breaking up the set.
Keep the faith!

Take your mind off of Kelly by picking up some more Kepler, Doc. There's a couple really nice lots right now.

There's a couple different ones on ebay. Still there to the best of my knowledge. Almost pulled the trigger, but decided to hold out for when I see something I need to complete my collection.
