First story hit me right in the feels.

Second story, stopped by LCS on the way cause you had time to kill: hardcore (meant in a good way)

I was trying to find a way to word it,without coming across as a total @ss. Ironically, my daughter took her first steps inside the same LCS, I'm really hoping she will get some enthusiasm towards collecting when she's older.

My luck with packs is pretty bad so its hard for me to get too addicted. But in 2012, I found some dollar packs at the local flea market. They were '82 Donruss, so I had to try for a Ripken RC. I pulled one after 10 packs. It was nice looking - centered with razor sharp edges. Same table had a box of 89 Fleer for $10. I got a box for the heck of it and pulled a Ripken error. In '89, I would've thought I hit the jackpot. To find something cool like those packs at the flea market is very rare for me. When I go, its normally the same old tables with no baseball cards.

I have 3 stories that were memorable to me.

First: Stopped by the LCS back in 93-94 after church and my freind was buying SP basketball packs. Decided to try a couple and pulled a Jordan Holoview Die-Cut. Sold it to the shop owner for $300 and bought a nice 100W Fender Bass amp.

Second: Pulled a Shaq Topps Gold RC on my birthday at the LCS. (Booked like $110-$120 at the time) I traded it for $30 cash and a RC Team Pinnacle Piazza.

Third: Last year I decided to split a blaster of 2015 Topps Chrome w/my daughter. We took turns picking packs and she new she had a sweet pull when she got a Kris Bryant Gold Refractor Auto. Now her expectations are very high when we open stuff Big Grin

. She decided she wanted to trade it to me so I will keep it tucked away in the PC until she decides she wants it back.

My best day opening packs or boxes was in 2009 when Topps Chrome was out. I went to my LCS and grabbed two boxes. In the first box i pulled some nice refractors and then an Ichiro Superfractor WBC! Then in the second box was a Yi Chaun Lin Superfractor WBC!! Also a printing plate of Chipper Jones! Needless to say those two Supers paid for a few more boxes and then some.

For Christmas in 1992 Santa brought me a box of 1993 Donruss (remember when cards were released around Christmas for the upcoming year) and I pulled an Elite Dennis Eckersley card, which I still have today. I have a home movie of me busting the packs and then yelling out ELITE! ELITE! and jumping up and down when I pulled it. I was so excited and I thought they were so easy to pull that we went to a card show about a week later and I spent all my Christmas money on 2 more Donruss boxes thinking I could pull another Elite card, but I didn't.

1st big pull was a 1991 Donruss Elite Jose Canseco. Was $200 at the time, which is huge when you're still a kid.

Best pull was this Eric Hosmer out of a $20 Walmart bargain discount box.

Fortunately sold it a few days after getting it graded.
