Credit goes to jaderock for this one.
A few weeks ago, I picked up the Robby Alomar International Refractor from Kevin (ryanrancho) and posted it here. Jaderock responded that he wished he had known that I needed it, because he could have helped me out (he had both the Alomar and the Chris George). The Alomar I had finally landed after 10 years. The George I have had for a while. I told him I appreciated the gesture, but that I no longer needed either card.
Shortly thereafter, I contacted another collector who is about 10 cards from completing the set to see if he had either of the remaining two that I needed. Miraculously, he had an extra Scott Hunter, which I had never seen, and told me that it was mine if I could hook him up with one of the ones he needed. Lo and behold, he needed the Chris George! I sent jade an email asking what he needed for it, and he just asked for my address. Less than a week later, I was able to trade the George for the Hunter.
It's people like jade that make this hobby what it is. I will be scrounging card shops across the land for trifecta #d Brunell items for the rest of my days to repay you for this one bud. Thanks again!
One down, one to go!

PS - I have a feeling I'll be updating you guys on this set for one final time in the coming days.
