Hi Ernie, I have been able to pick up Trevor Rogers' Cherry Blossom and Jade Green, so I am set on him. That said, if I come up with something suitable you collect, I would still like to trade for the Gold.

It's here whenever you want it. Thanks Larry
Been a while since I gave an update here since I have slowed down on picking these up, but I have added 6 more parallels in past two months in my quest for a parallel (all numbered to 99 or less) of every player in the 220-card 2021 Topps Japan Edition set.
I am now up to 212 parallels in this set with 172 different players (have multiples of several players), which puts me 78% to reaching my goal.
My current totals are:
71 Cherry Blossom (numbered to 99)
65 Jade Green (Numbered to 75)
47 Purple (Numbered to 50)
9 Gold (Numbered to 25)
1 Platinum (1/1) - Nelson Cruz
0 Red (Numbered to 5)
3 Autos - 3 (of 30 total issued)
Happy to get this one - Juan Soto numbered to 50:
and these, including the Luis Garcia Cherry Blossom:

Got 10 more of these parallels since my last post, so I now have 222 parallels in this set with 170 different players (have multiples of several players), which puts me 77% to reaching my goal of at least 1 parallel (all are numbered to 99 or lower) of every player in this 220 card set.
My current totals are:
75 Cherry Blossom (numbered to 99)
69 Jade Green (Numbered to 75)
48 Purple (Numbered to 50)
10 Gold (Numbered to 25)
1 Platinum (1/1) - Nelson Cruz
0 Red (Numbered to 5)
3 Autos - 3 (of 30 total issued)
Here are the latest:
4 Cherry Blossoms (# to 99)
4 Jade Greens (#'d to 75)
with this one my favorite:
and 1 gold (#/d to 25) and 1 purple (#'d to 50)
I never thought I would get this far but would love to reach at least 200 different players.

Since my last post in this thread three months ago, I have added 15 more so I now have 241 parallels of 181 different players in this 220 card set. I am now 82% of completing my goal of having a parallel (all numbered 99 or less) of every player.
Here is what I added since August:

3 Golds Numbered to only 25, including Miguel Cabrera! and Ian Anderson
1 Purple numbered to 50 and 7 Jade Green numbered to 75, including Bobby Dalbec thanks to a trade here on SCC!

Thanks, Luis. Good question about the autos. I actually hadn't noticed they don't have the Japanese flag on them. They all have a distinctive look different than any autos in other Topps sets and the back says they are from the 2021 Topps Japan Edition
I picked up a few more over the past month, so I now have 246 parallels of 186 different players in this 220 card set. I am now 85% of completing my goal of having a parallel (all numbered 99 or less) of every player.
The latest: 2 Cherry Blossoms (#'d to 99)
3 Jade Green (#'d to 75)
and 2 more autos, both #'d to 200:

It's been a while, but I got a few more. I now have 251 parallels of 191 different players in this 220-card set. I need just 29 more to have at least 1 parallel of every player.
This is what I have of each type of parallel:
89 Cherry Blossom (numbered to 99)
97 Jade Green (Numbered to 75)
49 Purple (Numbered to 50)
13 Gold (Numbered to 25)
1 Platinum (1/1) - Nelson Cruz
0 Red (Numbered to 5)
5 Autos - (5 of 30 total issued, all numbered to 200 or less)
And the new ones:
1 Cherry Blossom
4 Jade Greens - Votto, Kiriloff, Syndegaart:
and Ke'Bryan!
and I got a sought-after parallel of one of the inserts - MLB in Japan David Ortiz GOLD, numbered to /25
I'm not chasing parallels of the inserts, but couldn't resist that one.

Got another dozen or so of these cards over the past month, so I now have 267 parallels (all numbered less than 99) of 201 different players in this 220-card set. There are only 19 cards left I don't have a parallel of.
I now have 93 Cherry Blossom parallels (numbered to 99), Here are the latest:
2 more Jade Green (numbered to 75) so now have 101 of them, and 1 new Gold (numbered to 25) so now have 14 total. The new ones:
and 4 new Purple (numbered to 50), now with 53 of those

Over past few months, I have picked up a few more parallels and am now only 11 cards away from having a parallel of every player in this 220-card 2021 Topps Japan Edition set.
I am closing in on 100 Cherry Blossoms (numbered to 99), now have 94 of these parallels. Here are the latest 3, love the Machado:
Here's the latest Jade Green (I now have 103 of these parallels, numbered to 75) and Gold (numbered to 25, I now have 16 of these)
Thrilled to add Purple (numbered to 50) Alec Bohm (I now have 54 of these purple parallels)
and got one more Auto, Shane McClanahan (numbered to 200), I now have 6 of the 30 autos issued in the set.
In total, I now have 275 total parallels of 209 different players in the set. 11 to go!

Got some of the big guns in past few months and am now down to needing only 5 parallels to have a parallel of every player (all numbered to 99 or less) in this 220 card 2021 Topps Japan Edition set. I have parallels of 215 different players in this set.
2 more Cherry Blossoms (numbered to 99) so now have 96 Cherry Blossom parallels
Jazz and Trout Purple (numbered to 50) - now have 55 Purple borders total
and Posey Green (Numbered to 75) and Acuna Gold (Numbered to 25)
Happy to get some of these big names and just 5 more needed to have a parallel of every player in the set.
