some may be aware that i have a "most wanted" list of cards as part of my want list. it's been around since the summer of 2009, and has seen a number of cards listed and removed as my collection has grown. i haven't done a great job of celebrating the arrival of these cards in the last few years, so i decided to focus a post on some of the recently obtained cards from my "nefarious 9".
1986 sportflics decade greats #32 duke snider
number on list: 8
why was it a "most wanted" card?: this card doesn't complete a team set, but it's from a set that i should have already completed so i decided to prioritize it.
how long was it on the list?: this is the reason for this post. i initially didn't recall when i added duke to the list because i didn't document the card his replaced and when that occurred. however, i remembered that fuji had knocked three cards off of my list last fall, and the snider card was one of the ones i added. so, it was on the list for about 3 months, as duke rolled in to my collection in early december.
how was the card obtained? duke's card was part of a sportlots order in december of 2024.
what replaced it on the list? i am continuing to prioritze the completion of my team set, so i added 1986 sportflics decade greats #33 roy campanella
2012 panini golden age #41 jackie robinson
number on list: 3
why was it a "most wanted" card?: outside of the steve garvey card from this set that is in my garvey collection, i didn't own any dodgers. targeting jackie robinson's card was a good start.
how long was it on the list?: i don't know. it was high enough on the list that it preceded the cards from fuji so i really can't say.
how was the card obtained? i added jackie's card to a comc order that i placed in january of 2025. it arrived on march 1, 2025.
what replaced it on the list? i try to replace cards obtained with cards from the same timeframe, so i am looking to complete a dodger team set by adding 2013 topps finest #47 hyun jin ryu to the list.
2023 topps heritage #445 dustin may
number on list: 4
why was it a "most wanted" card?: this short print card completes my 2023 topps heritage dodger team set, including the high numbers release.
how long was it on the list?: i don't know, just like with jackie's card
how was the card obtained? i added may's card to a comc order that i placed in january of 2025. it arrived on march 1, 2025.
what replaced it on the list? i need one more card to complete my dodger team set of 2022 topps chrome refractors, so i added 2022 topps chrome refractor #84 albert pujols to the list
i also keep a list of nine non-dodger cards that i'd like to have, although i don't number them in any way. i did pick up one of those cards in a sportlots order in january:
1996 upper deck collector's choice #299 fernando valenzuela
the card arrived on january 17, 2025 and i replaced it on the list with 1984 topps tiffany #35 don sutton
