GOOD THREAD!

I haven't pulled anything as valuable as the Mantle or a Jordan rookie, But I have a cool story about my first pull in 20 years:

3 months ago I noticed a new card shop in my area (one that had re-located from across town) and decided to stop in. The guy there told me how cards and collecting had become something totally different than the last thing I had bought--an '89 Upper Deck baseball set.

He clued me in to how cards from the late 80s and early 90s had been so produced that they were worth next-to-nothing. He explained the new breed of cards with factory autographs and jersey/bat/ball relic cards. I was intrigued and asked for a pack of 2007 Bowman Football--my first card purchase since I was 12.

Upon opening that pack--which happened to be the LAST PACK of the LAST BOX of '07 Bowman in the store, I found a Reggie Bush Signature Series hand-written serial numbered out of 50 card.

I am not a huge Saints or Bush fan, but that single pull revived my appreciation for the hobby. And here I am, in the shop twice a week, much to the grief of my girlfriend. Bless her heart.

Great stuff guys.....Keep the thread going.....Big Joe

This is my best pull but the story is what makes it so sweet.

I had just returned from Afghanistan and was visiting my local card shop and purchased a few boxes. The owner had a program when you purchased $20 worth of cards you could roll a dice and win a free card. He was glad to see me back safe and put a 2007 Ultimate Collection pack in slot 1-5. To win the pack I needed to roll a 1 and than 5. I won the pack and inside was this duel autographed card of Cal Ripken Jr and Carl Yastremski numbered 7/8!

Not bad for a roll of the dice!

Very Nice Pull man.

Way to go Joe-this is COOL! I've been fortunate enough to get some great pulls out of retail boxes-nothing lately though unfortunately-but heres a few of some of my favorites, especially that I could share the joy with my daughter(the lucky one)-of course I bought the boxes on occasion,1/2 the packs went to her, the other 1/2 went to my son-I enjoyed watching them in anticipation of a good pull-one afternoon I gave her some packs of 2000 Legends of N.Y-within 2 mins. she said " hey Dad, I think I got a good card "- sure enough, it was a Reggie Jackson/Dave Winfield Dual Auto #25/25 !!!! SWEET !!!! Then, within a month of that,guess what-same scenario-I heard a scream of joy coming from the living room-guess what she had in her hand- 2001 Babe Ruth All-Star Bat Ser. #'d /1933 !!!! Couple others I was lucky enough to pull were a 2001 Donruss Diamond King Reprint auto of Cal Ripken Jr.

#'d 85, and then out of 2002 Topps Ten I pulled a Barry Bonds on-card auto. At the moment I still have no desire to part with any of them, and every one of those was from a retail box! It somehow seems like those type of valuable cards are a rarity in retail anymore, because I still buy alot and haven't even come close to getting anything other than your dime a dozen jersey cards, or an auto of someone who never has,nor probably never will see any playing time.AHHHHHHH, those were the days!

Great Stuff guys, Lets keep it going.....Big Joe

in 1998 i bought my wife a hobby box of spx finites.....i paid a little over $200 i believe...she pulled the jordan autographed jersey card number 3 or 23. at the time it booked high end beckett for $10,000. I sold it for $8500 to a sports card store in california........

Randall-Great pull-great decision selling it-you can pay down your house or car with that chunk of change!

What was the outcome with the 1963 Rose card?

I don't remember where I read this but I am pretty sure he did not get the Rose card. Maybe on another thread?
