The Collective Troll's Elusive 18!

Okay, I am being lazy and reposting an old post. Sorry. The response was so AWESOME the first time, it has been reduced by a third already! That I wanted to put it up again...That and I will be working INSIDE at the place of employment tonight which means customer service and no computer and therefore no posting... Here ya go:
My elusive 18… I think this my 4th “most wanted” card post, but every time I do one of these, y’all respond, so I am going to keep on doing it… The list has become a little longer this time because aside mind what people have sent me this year, so I won’t be shy about letting y’all know what I want… The first card on the list is BY FAR my MOST WANTED. It would mean closing a chapter in set building that has been open for too long… As always, I would promise to provide a good home to any 2009 Heritage SPs, any cards of Carl Crawford, Carlos Pena, Jason Bartlett, Pat Neshek, Brian Roberts, Jonny Gomes, Roberto Clemente, Larry Doby, Danny Tartabull, Billy Pierce, Evan Longoria or any Rays or Negro League vets…I have been becoming more and more obsessed with Fleer of late, particularly the 1963 set, the 1983 set and the more modern cards that look like the ’63 set. You may notice that Chris Ray is isn’t on this list, I don’t wanna jinx it, but someone who should be recommended for Sainthood has informed me that one is on its way to Bradentucky (Floriduh) soon… I have had an unpublished (in my head) top-21 list going for a while and between Jeff D, Mr Scott, Joe L, Democratic Roadkill Duane and Dan from Its Like Having My Own Card Shop, it has been reduced drastically, so I figured I would make up a fresh one… Okay, here we go!
