Quick Guide To Card Collecting Slang/Lingo Abbreviations & Acronyms
Cut and copy this one, it was popular one I started on Beckett and has been a sticky on FCB since it started.

1998 Topps Tek (Diffractors) Help?
It's not just a refractor finish, they tried to make a prismatic refraction by putting what looks like refractor half arrows all over the card. Here are two side by side so you can see the difference (base on left, diffractor on right)- onionring9

Questions about rare cards
Never seen one of the 1/1's before. Never heard of them either. Here's a list of all the variations of play ball I know of from 2003. I'll ask the other McGwire collectors again, but I'm 90% sure nobody has ever seen one of those before. As was said earlier, the numbering is extremely suspect...- onionring9

Do you know of any Player Collector Websites?
I got some time and changed the site a bit. Added a keyword search and the ability for other McGwire collectors to enter their collections on the list. Full site won't happen for awhile, the list will have to cut it for now. In the meantime most of the McGwire collectors are updating their lists...- onionring9

Do you know of any Player Collector Websites?
Hey craig, just go ahead and add my list for now. I'm not going to be able to even work on the site for a few more months so my list will have to do. Got too much backlog of other projects to get started on a full McGwire site :mad: www.joering.com/mcgwire- onionring9
