1 box 13 jumbo, got exactly the card I wanted
A-rod Manufactured, Sale relic, Pedroia gold parallel, Pacheco camo #'d to 99.
And of course the one card I hoped I would pull, I got. Needless to say I was very happy to see it!

it was all worth it for that trout auto.
I bought quite a lot of Jumbo's last year and got nothing but auto's I cared nothing about.
I must have gotten 3 of the same brad peacock auto's I swear.

Congrats!
It's nice when a plan works out!
I need to go Trout fishing soon.
Hey, the other day I picked up a box of Best of 2012 @ Walmart. Opened a pack of bowman chrome and thought I had a Harper Auto, but it was just the refractor. Not a bad card, just not the mega-hit the auto would have been. But for that millisecond I was excited.
I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value.

Nice! I pulled the same Trout auto card from a jumbo a few weeks ago. It's off at PSA being graded.

That's a great pull I might have to buy a case of 2013 Allen and Ginter this year since I didn't buy any last year but I am not sure yet since I am gunning for that 1996 Mirror Gold Jeter card by the end of the year.

Great all around box....And I think I can honestly say that I have never gotten the exact card I wanted from a box of cards ever!!!! I have pulled some nice stuff but never the exact card I bought the box for.

I usually don't either, but I said to myself as I was opening the box, "I sure hope I get a trout auto"

There used to be this gas station on the way home from my girlfriend's house that I would stop and buy packs on the way home.
Back in 2001-02 they had some Upper Deck Honor Roll basketball packs (wrong forum, I know, LOL), but I bought like the last 10 packs because I really wanted the Jason Richardson/Kobe Bryant rookie-veteran dual jersey card.
Last pack, last card, I pulled it!
Still one of my all-time favorites.

Nice break sir. That Trout is hot, hope to have something like this in a GQ case or a AG case later. Thanks for sharing
