Bad pull to good pull thread

Thought it would be fun to put together a list of cards that started out as lower end pulls from a product that are now among the best to pull from the product.

The first one that comes to mind is the BC auto of Brennan Boesch.

i was ticked pulling an ubaldo jimenez auto rc from 2005 leaf limited. now it sells for like twice the price of a box.

Million dollar giveaway is the first one I thought of.

I know I sold the first lot I had of 11 cards for 13 bucks.

it's not baseball, but back in 2000 i pulled a to brady fleer autographics auto and GAVE it to a friend of a friend. i am not sure what it used to book or sell, but now it sells routinely for $150-$200.

why did i give it away? brady was a late round draft pick, wasn't supposed to make it big, and played for michigan (i live in iowa and am a big hawkeye fan). the guy i gave the brady to is one of the biggest wolverine fans i know and to this day still owns the card, refusing to sell it and cash in.

thats funny, I actually bought a box of 2000 encore football for cheap back in the day. Each box included a graded rookie card and mine was brady needless to say back then I was hoping for a Jamal Lewis

Tommy Hanson Red Refractor... ::facepalm::

Sold quickly after pulling because of the multiple sites saying he was nothing more than a reliever.

Sold for $200

Is this technically his first bowman chrome? If not what is. I am assuming it is another topps mess up?!

I found this in a commons box about 5 years ago. And similar to you, I am a Michigan State fan who loathes the Wolverines.

You said it. If they said we pulled a pujols rc auto redemption i might think that could be possible. But it has been said a million times the Pujols rc was a redemption and none of them made it into packs :?

2004 Leaf Certified Ryan Howard Mirror Black, pulled this when he was still stuck behind Jim Thome, I wouldn't call it a terrible pull at the time though.

nborton · Jun 26, 2010

Boesch cards definitely have become something worth pulling. I bought a ton of his base chromes, and heritage RCs for 10 cents a piece. I've sold a slew of them for 10 bucks each now.

The Bowman Chrome Pujols auto was a redemption. The Bowman auto was not.
