I am needing one common to finish out my 1994 Topps set, so I'm looking to pick up one. It's #56T (Stephen Larkin RC). I see them on eBay listed for like $8, and I'm not paying that for a 25-cent common nobody. I actually bought a Topps Traded Rangers team set off eBay to get it, and that card was not included for some reason. So, looking for other options. Who has one? And what do you need for it? No graded. Raw only. Thanks for your help.

1994 Topps Traded #56T also has Jason Schmidt on it. That card books for 10.00 (which is probably why you see a price of 8.00).
I saw the original post and was wondering why that card was so pricey myself . I looked it up on Ebay and sure enough it was. Looking at Jason Schmidt's stats, I still am mystified at that BV. His stats appear to be that of a common card to me.
I'll checkmy dups but I doubt I have one. I don't recall coming across too many loose 1994 Traded dups over the years (decades!)
Because some yahoo listed it for $8, and it sold. Now everyone thinks it's worth $8. It's not. It's still a common card because Jason Schmidt didn't really do anything in his big league career. He had 130 wins, and that's it (I know, it's more than me, but in the grand scheme, 130 isn't that many).
And like I said, I bought a Traded Rangers team set. And of course, the idiot seller left it out of the team set.
There is only one of these cards on Sportlots right now and it is listed at 10.02 and 1.75 for shipping. And there is only one listed on COMC for 6.25 but they usually charge like 5.00 for shipping.
He probably broke a complete set and put the card you want in whatever team Schmidt was on. I agree totally with you that there is no justification why this card is so much. I did look and did not have one for you. And I looked in the only place I would have stored that card...........In the COMMONS box.
I think it will be hard for a lot of people to believe it but some of these mid to late 90's cards are becoming harder and harder to find. I get quite a few cards from Sportlots and I had to wait quite a while to find the Sandberg HL cards from this set. I would be willing to bet that there are at least a few cards that are not on there from this set. I was putting together a 1992 Topps Gold Winners set and found out that there are only 2 cards on Sportlots of Buck Showalter. Maybe grading cards has something to do with this trend but the fact that this set is over 30 years old (makes you feel old doesn't it!!) also may have something to do with it.
Good luck with your quest to find this card but I am sorry to say that I think you are going to have to spend the money for it.
I 100% agree with some of these basic 90s set cards are hard to find. A lot of people look down on the non junk cards from the 70s, 80s and 90s but when asked if they have certain key rcs, they almost always answer that they don't.
I don't see many loose 1994 Topps Traded cards or complete Topps Tradedsets for that matter but that is a big price to pay for a "modern" common. And I do get the 30 years ago take! LMAO11 Damn, I'm old!
