I have been watching the resources that have been spawning, trying to grab what 900++ stats I could...
but i am wondering about a few Irons and copper.... are there any out there that do not reach 900+ that I am missing out on and letting them slip by with knowing it??

If you only collect materials when thevital stats at or above 900, there's a lot you missing out on. In fact, many of the most important resources will NEVER have vital stats of 900. You should always keep an eye out for the best stuff you can get at the moment, and if it's better than what you have, grab it. It may be months or never before a better spawn comes along. After4+ months as a master weaponsmith, and 6 months gathering my materials, I still have several vital materials with very low stats. If I'd let those go by, I wouldn't even have that.
All materials have various material caps. For example polysteel is the only named copper that can have a conductivity of 1000. You'll never see a Desh copper with a unit toughness of 400, even though that is the important stat for making advanced blade vibro units.
If you want to get a better understanding of materials and their caps, check out this thread from SWGCraft.com forums, and check out the main site while your there. The resource database they maintain there is an invaluble tool for us.
