What is your biggest pull ever?

[j_b_77]

The first box I ever bought from Blowout yielded a 1/1 patch auto of charlie Frye and Andrew Walter. I got a cool grand for this about two weeks later. What are your guys biggest pulls that either you flipped or still have?

[Brad]

For football it's probably a tie:

Warren Moon NFL shield patch 1/1 from National Treasures (bought a 4-box case)
Michael Huff NFL shield patch auto RC 1/1 from last years SPX (only bought one box)

Both were ordered from Blowout. Sold the Huff for around $600 and the Moon sold on eBay for around $500. About 3-4 months after I sold the Moon, I saw it listed again on eBay and it sold for less than $200, which made me pretty happy.

Those 2, along with a Babe Ruth triple jersey from 07 Premier were probably my 3 biggest hits in terms of $.

Most of you know the story, but that hardcourt/UD Black case was pretty incredible. THANK YOU BLOWOUT. Along with the Lebron I pulled 2 Chris Paul autos; one being a letterman, and the other a jersey, 2 Brandon Roy autos; one being a letterman, and the other being a flag patch auto /25, and one Randy Foye Letterman auto.

Flag Patchhttp://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j194/rufusyo/paulandroy.jpg

My pack searching wife j/k opened the cards in the letterman link to start with. We sold the other 14 packs on ebay (yes including the Lebron) but one of the buyers did not pay. He left us with seven packs. The Lebron, Roy Flag patch, and Paul Jersey auto were in them. I would like to know who got what in the other packs we sold. Anyway great post, I enjoy reading and seeing everyones pulls.

[mwheeler27]

Best pulls ever...

2007 Tristar Elegance Tim Lincecum Auto Patch #/5 - sold for $600

Wow!!! I remember when you were selling this. I think you ended the auction early because of a Lincecum collector. I have the one numbered 1/5. I'm a collector too, but I'd probably sell it if I could get $600 for it. NICE JOB!!!

[go_steelers07]

i haven't hit a $1k card yet....... and i hope that yet turns into today... anyway, my best pulls were:

1. 2006 Contenders Rookie Ticket Auto Reggie Bush.... sold for $375... guy did not pay, then resold for $550 :)!

2. 2006 Contenders Rookie Ticket Auto Laurence Maroney.... sold for $300

3. 2006 Hot Prospects Red Hot Auto #/25 Reggie Bush.... sold for $350

4. 2005 Bowman Chrome Gold Ref Auto Andy LaRoche #/50..... sold for $400

The only one pulled from a Blowout Case was the LaRoche.

[CaptainBOHICA]

i didn't even crack a smile.

sold for a couple hundred bucks.

still looking for that $1k+ pull.

[thekramers5]

Wow!!! I remember when you were selling this. I think you ended the auction early because of a Lincecum collector. I have the one numbered 1/5. I'm a collector too, but I'd probably sell it if I could get $600 for it. NICE JOB!!!

Yeah - great guy. Made his day, made my day. I RARELY end auctions early, but this was the perfect example of the 1 in 1,000 requests I'll do it.

[ceczerwonka]

My biggest pull would probably be

2005 Ultimate Babe Ruth, Joe Dimaggio and Lou Gehrig triple memorabilia #15/15 Got about $900.

My favorite is

2007 Triple Threads Ryne Sandberg Auto Triple Relic 1/1
http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee232/ceczerwonka/sandberg.jpg

This is one of my other favorites mainly because I collect Cutler. It was a redemption and it took so long to finally get.
