[Truemountaineer]

I love telling this story :)
I was 13 at the time. 2010-11 R&S basketball just came out. At that time I didnt know the difference in hobby boxes and retail boxes. Didnt even know hobby boxes existed. So anyways, it was Christmas time and a few family members gave me gift cards to walmart and needless to say I spent about 80 dollars on blaster boxes that day. 2010-11 products had the 2 mountaineers in it Da'Sean Butler and Devin Ebanks (as we remember, Da'sean had a knee injury he suffered in the WVU vs Duke final four game, needless to say his career ended and now he is with the wvu coaching staff)
So I bought a blaster box of R&S since it had 1 hit. I wasnt big on basketball (only college basketball)
Opened the box and this was pulled, needless to say I jumped up and down! :)

@Truemountaineer Great story, nothing beats hitting a card of your personal favorites!

[greetl01]

I've never hit anything with more than $50. It's truly ridiculous really.

I just gave up. I tally'd the amount I'd spent trying to get lucky and I could have just bought the cards I wanted LOL. Only singles for me now.

[phdbeckett]

I remember opening up a box from a fresh case the day 2010 Greats hit the shelves. This card literally was in the 2nd pack in the box.
http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i34/phdbeckett/BestPulls/wilt1.jpg

Now, it is not my highest valued pull (I did a lot of Exquisite, etc.), but from a $2.99 per pack product, I'm not sure I can do better.

Damn, it's crazy to even think that such a high valued card was in a low end product like UD greats. Sick card man.

[Dwade3HeatC]

Lol my best pull is probably a LeBron James 2012-13 prestige BASE card. I don't do packs/boxes AT ALL. I'm wondering if I should try some out now

[jbarnett83]

Tried to sell this case on eBay for a few weeks. Came very close to making deals with a few different ebay members. Even had offers within $100 of what I would accept. Ended up pulling it off eBay and decided to bust. Glad I did and Sold this card for 4x my asking price on ebay.....

[NoobCollector]

I was probably about 14-15 at the time when I truly started getting back into the hobby (before my latest hiatus)...went to a card shop in the mall..bought like 3-4 overpriced packs of Sp Authentic 06/07. One of the players I really enjoyed..because he was Jewish like me...was Farmar. I'm sitting there in the mall ripping these packs open...and end up pulling a gold foil auto /25!!!! Definitely was awesome for me..especially since he was one of my fav players at the time!

[CP3toOKC]

Wow, never knew they came out of the pack pre slabbed :)!:)!

Could have been a leaf best of basketball break

[thor_rider08]

I did hit a LeBron pmg blue and green in retro but still by far in the last 3-4 years this has been my biggest hit.

[JMarchand1981]

I have two favorites. I PC Kobe and trade or sell just about everything else. I hit 5 Kobe autos between December 2012 and March 2013 but these two stand out.

The story goes like this. My wife had asked me what I wanted for Christmas last yr. I said a box or two of Prizm if she could get them reasonably priced (If you remember, this stuff took off due to the gold prizms). My LCS guy ended up selling her 2 for under what we set as our Christmas limit. Come Christmas day I unwrapped these and the deal was that I could bust ONE box in the morning and the second box when we went home. THIS was in the first box. It is the Prizm /25 version.

My other favorite pull is this. Another instance of my wife grabbing wax. This came out of the regular Panini (like $60 per box). The product was junk, all-in-all but this is /5.

[Mcpug]

Got this in a birthday box from my wife. It's 10/10. Wish I wouldn't have sold it, but I did buy my first MJ auto with the money.

[fullmetal]

Probably a Tim Duncan base card.

[Krayzie83]

Bought a few packs of Upper Deck from Walmart way back upon release in hopes of a Vince Carter rc... Pulled this instead!

1:2500 packs and booked at $400 at the time

[jameshues]

This was my first ever good hit, maybe 3 or 4 years ago when I didn't even know the difference between hobby and retail. Absolutely loved the card and I still do.

http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x385/jameshues/Basketball%20FT-FS/Prime%20Patches/PATCH-DwightHoward09-10DonrussElite.jpg

Fast forward a few years, and I was able to get a box of 10-11 Gold Standard, which for me, was a huge purchase. Really big. The hits were even bigger. ALL IN ONE BOX :D

2003 I was collecting mostly basketball, and spent a lot that year. Loved SP authentic had a lot of great pulls But this was my best still in the PC. Lebron signed it over the bottom edge which was not so great, but love the card.

Fast forward a few years, and I was able to get a box of 10-11 Gold Standard, which for me, was a huge purchase. Really big. The hits were even bigger. ALL IN ONE BOX :D

Wow! i got a very similiar GS box to you! expect a steve nash patch instead of David Robinson! pretty crazy!




i only break a few boxes a year if im lucky so im pretty happy when i pull anything decent, pulled this a while back and luckily got it on video so i can relive the moment!

http://sportscardalbum.com/c/ybr58368.jpg

and this next one i pulled from a newsagent here in australia, which is very rare to find any shops selling loose packs, this was massive high risk at a whopping $12 per pack!! i felt stupid paying that price...but then i pulled this!

http://sportscardalbum.com/c/ob97851a.jpg

and this one i pulled on my honeymoon while in Cali, i was pretty happy!
http://sportscardalbum.com/c/bvim296f.jpg
also bought a 10-11 GS at the same time, which yielded a Kobe Patch Auto, Kobe Jersey auto, and a nash patch! gotta love that Cali Mojo!

This came out of a 10$ box at walmart that came with 5 topps packs, and 1 hobby platinum pack. It was numbered 3/99 which is his Jersey number. To this day is the nicest card I've ever pulled.

[Exquisite Man]

Heres mine:

This was my best pull from busting a good amount of exquisite cases. This card was my first logoman ever and this is the card that got me into logomen and started the collection i have today. I pulled this card back in 2010 and its the card that started it all. Also at the time I did not even go nuts because I was not sure about the card as I never saw one before. Well any way here it is:


http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z462/MasterpieceCollection/Exquisite%20Logoman/BD508869-B573-4107-AF27-65A1F71E7F1D-125-0000000789CE3F32_zpsd3dfa887.jpg (http://s1191.photobucket.com/user/MasterpieceCollection/media/Exquisite%20Logoman/BD508869-B573-4107-AF27-65A1F71E7F1D-125-0000000789CE3F32_zpsd3dfa887.jpg.html)


Also pulled this card my first jordan patch signed pulled out of exquisite love how this card looks:

http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z462/MasterpieceCollection/Michael%20Jordan/C9135373-9D04-4976-811B-8995D2977607-527-00000085F65BCC8B_zpsddb56dcc.jpg (http://s1191.photobucket.com/user/MasterpieceCollection/media/Michael%20Jordan/C9135373-9D04-4976-811B-8995D2977607-527-00000085F65BCC8B_zpsddb56dcc.jpg.html)

Then pulled this card which I was extremely excited about as you don't see them any more cause its from the early years of exquisite and most of these logomen are in peoples PCs. Also pulled this card in 2011 so almost 5 years after the product was released. Its amazing how a card like this was sitting in this case for 5 years. Also this shows that there still could be a lot of logomen left in exquisite boxes and cases that have not been busted yet. Here it is also love the design of this card.

Also pulled this card a year ago back in 2012 which also shows there could be a lot of logomen left in exquisite:

http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z462/MasterpieceCollection/Exquisite%20Logoman/36D06B66-C634-49DF-AA5B-525278F5DB40-125-00000007560C63C0_zps6f364920.jpg (http://s1191.photobucket.com/user/MasterpieceCollection/media/Exquisite%20Logoman/36D06B66-C634-49DF-AA5B-525278F5DB40-125-00000007560C63C0_zps6f364920.jpg.html)

Also pulled this Jordan this year from a case of exquisite went nuts as it is a beautiful card. This is not the exact card I pulled as I sold it but i had doubles so thats why but heres the one I still have.

http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z462/MasterpieceCollection/Michael%20Jordan/f9b4f8a6-3ab3-426b-906d-403843a21610_zps78c9795d.jpg (http://s1191.photobucket.com/user/MasterpieceCollection/media/Michael%20Jordan/f9b4f8a6-3ab3-426b-906d-403843a21610_zps78c9795d.jpg.html)

Also pulled this the first booklet that I ever owned and of a great player:


http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z462/MasterpieceCollection/Kobe%20Bryant/43BC2BF9-E1E5-4CB2-8F7C-09C063FDE93E-527-00000063BDE7DCD9_zps648b2392.jpg (http://s1191.photobucket.com/user/MasterpieceCollection/media/Kobe%20Bryant/43BC2BF9-E1E5-4CB2-8F7C-09C063FDE93E-527-00000063BDE7DCD9_zps648b2392.jpg.html)
Also pulled a few more but these are my top ones. I started to bust exquisite late so all these pulls came after all these products were released. I pulled these from 2010-2013. Which shows that there is still a lot left in these un opened cases and boxes and that people should bust them instead of hold.


Also pulled these cards but don't have pictures:

07-08 Kevin Durant exquisite RPA

Dwayne Wade exquisite RPA

09-10 Exquisite Triple logoman of Al Harrington/Nate Robinson/David Lee
