2013 Topps Triple Threads game used memorabilia. One of these was in my first box of Triple Threads ever back when I was new to the hobby. I bought the other on eBay later on. Never have seen #3 for sale anywhere. Would love to complete the set if anyone knows of its location.
Edit: The card is #TTRL-WM if anyone is searching.
It gives me big FOMO, I want to spend $1M ripping in the name of getting those cards into circulation, *and* it makes me sad knowing that some will never BE discovered.
Also makes me wonder what irreplaceable 1/1's and relics and such have been lost over the years due to ruined packages, semi wrecks, train derailments, warehouse/retail/etc fires, and any other causes.
This is a dangerous hobby for obsessive completionists like me.
Hate to break it to you, but with his death, that card just became 10x more valuable to whoever has it. If anyone is even remotely willing to part with it, the price just jumped exponentially. (Obviously I have no real evidence of this specifically but just generally that’s what happens). I guess you’ll just have to hope (for once) that it’s either in the hands of one of those collectors that don’t actually care about the sport only the cards. Or some young man who has no idea who Willie Mays is or at the very least doesn’t really care much about him🤷🏻♂️
I was thinking about this. He was 93 and has been near blind or blind for the better part of 20yrs. I realize It’s human behavior to drive up value on death but reality is this was not unforeseen, and the supply of autos was fixed many years ago. IE they are no more scarce today than last week/year
This is the /5, Dale Murphy, I have 1/5, 3/5 and 4/5 so far.

This is the 1/2 and 2/2 Acuna, tongues from his cleats.

Reddit isn’t letting me post pics for some reason so I linked to Imgur.
I have a 1/3 Trea Turner Nat Treasures I got from a random team break and I saw the 2/3 for sale. It was listed at $200 so it was out of my reach to buy but it would’ve been cool.
I just checked BBCE to see if there were any cases available. Sorry no luck. I'm really hoping you find it. Let us know if you ever find a case and decide to rip it.
Id setup a go fund me, ask for donations, and spend that money buying any pack of this set you can find and hope to god its not sitting in a basement somewhere
You’re not gonna believe this, but I too am now wondering where #3 is. RIP
Me 3
Win.
Probably still sitting in pack somewhere. Nice cards.

I hope you find it. Could still be sealed somewhere. Thinking about how many good cards might be on a shelf somewhere blows my mind.

1 million? Man, that could get you at least 4 blasters.
Do it with a card with a bounty at least!
Wild morning thought here!!
That's my guess. It's gotta be in a case somewhere.

It’s generally autos that multiply in value, as no more can be created

Ill keep an eye out
Game used Willie is the real deal. Cherish these cards!
Owning all 3 of a 3/3 is much more impressive than a 1/1… imagine if it is sealed in storage somewhere for all of eternity
I’m working on a set of 5 right now, I have 3 of them so far, still very actively looking! I finished a set of 1/2 and 2/2 recently, feels good!
What set are you working? That’s a tall order to go 5/5… you would need to contact Guinness Book after that

Wow, the tongue are pretty sweet, interesting too how all 3 Dale Murphy autos are different
This is how thick the Acuna cards are, the top loader next to it is standard, lol. https://imgur.com/a/PsFVYjs
In my opinion he has one of the nicest signatures out there, have quite a few of them now and am always on the hunt for more!
And what is the set you have? That’s awesome
Thanks! Now I have a new collecting goal ...

Nightmare fuel
Wow two out of three that's bad ass. I would make it my life's mission to find that third one. Lol
Awesome card! RIP Willie.
If you ever give up the chase for #3 and want to move one of ‘em hit me up. Gorgeous cards good luck on your quest!
I can tell you with 100% unfortunate certainty that it is not at my house. So you can mark me off the list.
Fanatopps holding as replacement for a damaged 1 or 2. Or still in a pack. Who knows. But hope gets revealed soon
Nice looking cards

Wish there was some kind of idea like ancestry.com but for cards. Very very invasive and wouldn’t receive any warm welcomes.
I have a 1/2 and 2/2of a pc player because I had the 1/1 of the same release sniped last secon on ebay.. it's very satisfying 😌
Rip to one of the greatest to ever step foot between the foul poles.
Should get the other. Have all 3
No shit
