Jacoby Ellsbury Wishlist

For a number of years I have been a Jacoby Ellsbury player collector. I don't mean attempting to collect every possible card ever produced that has his moniker on it, just the non-print run cards. If a few serial numbered cards come my way or a relic, I will not looked that gift horse in the mouth.
By my calculations (or Beckett actually) there are 164 cards since 2005 that fit into this collecting remit.
So far I have collected;
5 of a possible 10 cards from 2005,
1 of 5 cards from 2006
7 of 17 cards from 2007,
38 of 41 cards from 2008,
49 of 52 cards from 2009,
24 of 39 cards from 2010
making that 124/164 collected so far.
To view my progress see Pursuit of Jacoby.
My current top tens Jacoby Ellsbury pursuits are:
2005 Lowell Spinners Choice #5
2006 Wilmington Blue Rocks Choice #1
2007 Tristar Autothentics #67
2007 Tristar Autothentics Blue #67
2007 Tristar Elegance #46
2008 Topps Red Sox Gift Set #20
2008 Topps Chrome Blue Refractors #124
2009 Topps Target #660
2009 Topps 206 Old Mill #195
2009 Topps 206 Polar Bear #195
I am essentially a trading whore but realise that winning these when(and if ) they arrive on e-bay may be my only option.
