If you own a 1/1, do you ever just sit back about being the only person who has that trading card? Like you are the one who holds the power?
Out of all of the overproduced cards of today, you actually own the only one of that card and that's it. It's the only ONE. It's the ONE OF THE ONE.
That's why 1/1's are pretty cool if you ask me.
And when I land a 1/1, I not only keep it, but I try my best to add to it by trying to build the rainbow.
Thanks to another great commenting contest held by Johnny's Trading Spot, I now have the beginning of a new chase.
Now Eli Morgan isn't the biggest name in baseball and is a pitcher that usually turns me away, but it's a 1/1 that completely has my attention.
Now I just need to build off from it.
So, I did my research for this card and product and found out there are a few parallels that come along with it as expected. There are a total of sixteen parallels which also includes seven 1/1's in order to finish the rainbow chase.
You read that right, seven 1/1's. It's crazy.
These are the following parallels to chase, Artist Proof Blue, Blue Frame, Gray Frame, Plum Frame, Red Frame, Artist Proof Silver /99, Artist Proof Gold /49, Green Frame /25, Antique Frame /18, Antique Frame Masterpiece 1/1, Black Frame Masterpiece 1/1, Gray Frame Masterpiece 1/1, Green Frame Masterpiece 1/1, Masterpiece 1/1, Plum Frame Masterpiece 1/1, Red Frame Masterpiece 1/1.
I already know that landing all of the 1/1's is an impossible task, so for me, completing a rainbow would be finding the other nine parallels to tie in with my 1/1. If I happen to find one of the other 1/1's, that's a bonus. But I will call this rainbow complete with the nine.
I have the most important piece to the rainbow, now to chase down the others including the base.
Thanks Johnny's Trading Spot !! He is a 1/1 kind of guy!
I will update my chase as I add some and might put a list of updated needs on the side of this blog, so you know where I am at with it. I would also welcome any help towards this rainbow project. If you have any of these including a base, drop me an email! My email is sportcardcollectors@hotmail.com.
New chases are always fun, but having help with the chase makes it even better. It leads to 1/1 moments. Those are ones you keep forever.

You have the Masterpiece Red Frame, You'll need the base card though.

ReplyDeleteExcellent addition even if you don't get any more of the rainbow. My best is a 1/5 that I got from Johnny as well. Enjoy the chase.
ReplyDeleteA. Very generous of John to hook you up with a 1/1.
ReplyDeleteB. Have fun building that rainbow. I've been slowly building a few rainbows... but 1/1's aren't part of my chase.
Congrats!
ReplyDeleteThe only 1/1 I've pulled was a quickly irrelevant quarterback out of Topps Valor. Still might finish the rainbow just for fun.
ReplyDeleteThat John is a pretty decent guy!
ReplyDeleteI have one 1/1...I bought a stupid 1/1 Upper Deck hockey buyback. Is it a real 1/1? I didn't need it. But I wanted it. Really I should have just written 1/1 in sharpie on one of the dupes that I already had of the base card.
I’ve only ever owned one 1/1 card. I ended up offering it to the player on the card. He now owns it after I was invited by him, to present it to him, on the field at Camden Yards.
ReplyDeleteOf all the guys in this set to chase a rainbow of, this has got to be one of the cheaper one's.
