Well, it's been a while since I pulled a Luka rc from a pack, but today was a pleasant surprise.
I was at Target getting a coffee and seeing if they restocked Topps Chrome (baseball). There was Topps S2 and Prestige football and then I saw a lone Basketball Contenders fat pack. I didn't even pay close attention to it - just grabbed it and added it to the few S2 hangers I got (this is literally the first retail basketball pack I've seen in the wild in almost a year). I opened the pack, again, not even realizing the year (figuring it was a random 2019-20) until I saw a Luka Lottery Ticket. Had to do a double take and confirm it was actually a 2018-19 pack.
It's not worth much - and won't gem - but man, that was a really nice surprise since I wasn't even thinking it was a 2018-19. What's crazy is this Target is ALWAYS picked over... I'm talking ZERO sports cards 99% of the time - so this single pack was definitely from a fresh restock late last night/early this morning.
