Today's Awesome Pulls From Allen & Ginter
I bought one box of Allen & Ginter today after work. I sat down at the card shop and opened the box. My 3rd pack I opened I pulled a Kurt Suzuki jeresey card. Whoopie do. I'm thinking to my self, "great, here comes another $100 box down the drain." Anyway I continued. The 7th pack I opened produced the Martin Prado rip card. I decided at the time not to rip it. So I went on. I noticed a "thin pack", so I pulled that one to the side. I figured that might be my autograph. It was. The other packs didn't produced anything. So I opended the last pack. I slowly lifted the card that was on top of the autographed card. I saw Brooklyn, New York at the bottom. I figured I pulled some Yankee autograph. The I yanked the card off of it and got.......ex-President George W. Bush's autograph! I was shocked. After I left the shop and got home, I decided to rip the Prado (I know you Braves/Prado fans out there are having a heart attack right about now). It was worth it. I pulled an extended SP mini card of Derek Jeter. Not a bad day/ past week I've had...so far
scans will follow in a few minutes
Here's the scans:

Super awesome! I hope that I'll be able to convince my wife to spend $100 on a box of cards. Maybe I'll show here this post and she'll see that it could turn out to be a great investment.

Awesome. Definitely made your $$ back on that one! I was wanting to get buy one of the Bush autos and was surprised by how much they were going for. Needless to say, I won't be getting one.
Congrats again.

I gave it to the card shop owner as a tip for holding the box for me. It was his last one on the shelf.
A& G in the past 3 years has been very good to me. Every year I open 2-3 boxes. Last year I pulled a rip card of Vladimir Guerrero #/10 and had a $50 CV red ink auto in it (sold the Vladdy ripped for $60) and pulled the Ryan Howard auto. The year before I pulled a redemption for a gold framed auto #1/1 of Michael Phelps and sold it for a $1,000.
