Patterns 6 and 7 seem to be a tad too easy to pull for my liking. Also, I actually would have liked more of the home jersey variations instead of just 10 players.
5 cases, wow, that's a lot of one product. More jersey variations, take it you like a good chase. Pull any Pedroia in the 2014?

Congrats on an awesome collection. An incredible feat!
For someone with Collector ADHD, like me, there are waaaaay too many variations. After picking up 5-6 variations, I'd give up.  For the more focused amongst us, go for it. Tek is a Very cool product, very nice designs, but I just don't have the wherewithal to track them down. I've never completed a full rainbow of any player in any product. I've come close several times, but there's either 1 elusive card, or too many more to bother.

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.

Thanks Doc. I think I need your problem and be able to give up, it would help my wallet tremendously.

My scanner doesn't capture the galactic sparkle unfortunately (and is dirty showing spots and lint), but nonetheless. Luckily there is no black rainbow version for the autos, so this baby is The one.
That sucker up for trade?
Honestly, all products have way too many variations. However, compared to something like Bowman Chrome it's far more tolerable because it's affordable (for the most part) and it's not focused on prospects. I imagine it's a fun and cheap(er) way for player collectors to pick up some cool and rarer cards of their guys.

I think it's an awesome accomplishment to get so many of the variants. Congrats!

Different side of the same coin, i guess. if I focused on one specific player/brand/rainbow I think I'd save a ton of money. I'm buying all over the place, start 'projects' and move on. Somewhere in between what you do and what I do is where the solution to our addictions lie.

The Rizzo Galactic sold on the bay a few days ago, way more than my wallet (wife) would allow. Just over $150 I think it went for. ugh That's a little more than what two boxes would have ran me.
