Yep! I always think I'm going to get lots of commons and crappy inserts, and it works!

RE: Has anyone ever...
actually ..... yes
at Expo 2 years ago it was a quest for us to find a Mike Wallace RC auto and a Knowshon Moreno RC auto
couldn't find anything we wanted via trade or sale so on the way out we picked up two boxes ..... one for me and one for jr.
sitting in the car we talked about our day and started busting away ..... low and behold we pulled both the cards we were looking for all day
we still laugh about that every time we go to a show now

What fantastic luck!
I kind of did it again. I bought a retail box of Rising Rookies from D&A's Black Friday weekend sale. I was hoping for a Cam RC and at least 1 AU or GU. I got 1 of all three! I got a Jimmy Graham Freshman Impressions GU (not an EU) and a Rahim Moore AU. At 1:36 packs each, I did pretty good with my 24 packs.
I would've liked more Panthers cards, but I pulled 11 different Packers cards (including 3 versions of D.J. Williams-base RC, gold RC and blue RC) and 11 different Patriots. Out of 241 cards in the box, I only pulled 1 duplicate from it (a gold parallel) and am 6 cards short of the 200 card base set.
BTW, the Graham and Moore are FT and in my ORG if anyone needs/wants them.

RE: Has anyone ever...
yes, and no...
2009 Triple Threads - didn't know really what was in it. Asked for the box, told the owner:
"Hey, regardless, I can say I pulled a Stafford, P.Manning, Aikman trip jersey auto since its only the box, right?"
Bam. So, I called the hit - exactly.....but didn't know anything about the product prior.
Ask, JHer - i think he heard rumors of that pull...
