Normally, I don't have much success with packs from Target and/or Wal-Mart but this time was different.
Pulled the 2017 Topps SP Carlos Correa of him celebrating with his teammates. Although it's not serial numbered, I've only found 3 listings on eBay, all Buy It Now for around $100.00.
This is by far the best card I've pulled from a retail pack!
Wish Topps would give print runs on SP cards or serial number them so they're easier to identify. The only reason I knew this was a unique card was the fact it was mixed in with all the inserts/parallels.
If you look at completed sales these have come down a bit. I agree that they should serial number or give you a different logo or something. However i believe the fun is in the chase.

On the back of the cards on the bottom there is a code #. If the number ends in 1730 it is a base card, if it ends in 1786 it is a variation.
I added a scan of the back of the card and you are right. I'm looking for variations this way now. Forget the picture, or alternate jersey, or if a players pointing to the sky, in the on deck circle, sitting on the top step of the dugout, etc.
I like it when Topps or whoever makes cards like this because that means I still have a shot at pulling something, even if there are pack feelers. Congrats on the nice hit.
