Best Card You've Pulled of Your Player?

[TBTwinsFan]

I got a rack of Update tonight, and as I was thumbing through the cards, I noticed a Glen Perkins base card in the mix.

As far as I can recall, this is the first time I've pulled a Perkins card (don't break much wax) since I started collecting him in '09/'10

That got me to thinking, what's the best card you've ever pulled of your player?

Still un-ripped to this day.

I suppose pulling a great card from a pack might sometimes create a collector of said player, but what are the odds of getting your player in stuff these days? I know back in the 90s, I was always hoping that the tough 1 per box or 1 per case insert that I hoped to pull was going to be Frank Thomas. I think I grabbed a couple 1:36 Thomas pulls, but nothing monumental that I recall.

I still believe my best pull ever was a 2001 UD Hall of Fame Duke Snider Jersey/Auto. I could not have been happier, despite this being a more "common" pull from that issue. I like the dodgers and this was a fitting score.

It looked like this, only the Duke.

Have you used the flashlight trick to see what's inside of it yet?

Have you used the flashlight trick to see what's inside of it yet?

Nope. It's been stored away since being pulled and the urge to find out what's inside has not been great enough for me to try and find out.

Started seriously collecting Pedroia in 2006. My wife pulled this in 2007....

2007 Upper Deck Gold #69 Dustin Pedroia 15/75 (his jersey number)

And I pulled this in 2008.....

2008 Bowman Chrome Printing Plates Cyan #172 Dustin Pedroia 1/1
(To be honest, I have his Magenta and Yellow plates from the same product and it may have been one of those that I pulled, just remember pulling a plate.)

Didn't open the pack myself, got this in a box break.

Those are sweet. I didn't know you collected Maddux.

Back in 2002/2003, I was a huge Latrell Sprewell collector. My wife and I each got a pack of 2002/03 Topps Chrome. She hit this beauty (3/50). Sadly I sold all of my Sprewells a few years back, including this one...

The redemption for this

was in the same pack as this.

 

[TBTwinsFan]

That's crazy.

I had just gotten back into collecting a few years prior when I pulled this. It's definitely in the top 5 cards I've ever pulled. As for my wife, she had a knack for pulling a Jeff Clement base chrome or refractor out of almost every 2005 Draft blaster we bought. Too bad he didn't pan out.

Redemption for this, that was almost never made. I got his Jersey number (#3/30):



These came out of the same box:
