[togaman]

Looking for some 15 condition upgrade 1998 Topps TEK cards in near mint to mint condition. as of 12/6/2024

I finished all 8100 card (all 90 patterns of all 90 players) back in 2004 but have a handful I'd like to improve the condition of since my Master set is pretty close to mint without any scratches, water marks, tiny black dots, peeling along the edges of the silver oval on back containing card # /pattern # and misalignment of the card #/pattern # within that silver oval that was prevalent in the 1998 Topps TEK release. Thanks

There are 90 different patterns (background) of 90 different player cards for a total of 8100 cards in regular set plus 89 different diffractor patterns (Topps does not appear to have made a diffracotr patten# 49) for a total of 8010 diffractor cards.

So there's 1 base and 169 different parallels? Or all 90 different patterns considered base? I PC Rangers, and I'm going to be looking for a base team set of this at some point. Just hoping there's not 90 base cards of every player. I thought having 22 different refractors in Topps Chrome was bad now. I couldn't imagine 90 cards of each player. That's nuts.

There are 90 cards in each set with 90 different patterns of each card = 8100 total base cards. And yes there are 90 different patterns of each player. Plus 89 different Diffractor patterns (No # 49 diffractor pattern appears to exist) of each 90 players. - 8010 diffractor cards.
