This one took 23 years...

This one took 23 years...
FINALLY!! Got my very first Topps retail auto today, and it's a doozy!! I've been collecting for 23 years now (since 1993), and, until today, had never pulled an auto from ANY Topps retail product (I have pulled plenty of Topps hobby autos however). All that changed today when I decided to pick up the last blaster box of 2016 Bowman at a local Walmart.

Pulled an orange parallel prospect auto of Daniel Mengden 15/25. Retail blaster box odds on these are an astounding 1:2,259 packs!!!!

Lighting in my condo sucks, so I'm not taking pics right now. I'll try to post pics tomorrow, or later this week. I will put it in my org as available ft if anyone wants it.

Just wanted to share my amazing luck. This has to be one of my rarest pulls ever!!

Please stay tuned and check back for pics, and more info on other recent pick ups. Big Grin Big Grin Big Grin

Not too bad for a $20 retail blaster box...

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.

Ok.......now I don't feel so bad for pulling bad auto's in retail. Should have known someone had it worse than I did! Congrats!!!!!!
