1988 Topps Portfolio/Folders Ozzie Smith - I can't find one and it's driving me nuts!

Yes, I'm still looking for this item that has been eluding me for about 5 years. It's driving me crazy. I have the 1989 and the rest of the 1988 Cardinals (four of them). Why is this item so hard to find? I thought they were fairly common, but I guess they are not. I know they aren't worth much.

Surely to goodness, somebody out there has one of these. If so, please let me know.

    I got my Schmidt a few years ago -- they're just so big and bulky, I don't think (m)any people kept them -- plus, being a budding teenager at the time, I'm pretty sure that they were not very popular; I do not recall seeing any of them either in the collecting circuit or at school at the time.
    I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.
  • Does Steve (BBCE) have them?

    Wow, there were 130 folders in that set?

    May be worth it to ask that seller with the 50-pack if it has an Ozzie in it. I remember having one of those folders, pretty sure it was the Ripken.

    << <i>50 ct Box of folders

    Maybe Ozzie in there?


    Was Ozzie in here? >>





    The first link - I've already asked and the seller has not replied.

    The second link - I have asked on several auctions like that. Those are in a package and sellers will not open to see.

    Yeah, I was pretty sure you already checked those.

    Hey everyone. I hardly ever post on this forum but I visit it all the time. I've got an extra Ozzie if you need it but it is a little beat up. It could be a filler until a nicer one comes along though. Let me know and I'll get it out to you.
