Dearest Mantel Community: Some of you may recall this ask from previous posts and comments, but I'm still on the hunt for the 2023 Finest Julio Rodriguez /5 red refractor to complete my rainbow (yes, I even have the 1/1 superfractor). The only one I've ever seen on eBay sold last January while I was recovering from surgery...vulnerable, drugged, and clueless.

I have all the others graded, framed and hanging behind me in my home office. Every time I hop on a Zoom call, that empty space looms behind me, mocking me. And I stare at it, haunted, yearning, and realize it's not only a missing piece of a display, but also an empty space in my soul.

So, I turn to you, Mantel community. If you have any leads, sightings, or intel, I'd be happy to discuss payments or trades. Given the size and skill of this fine group, I'm confident that eventually my quest will be fulfilled.
