Thought it would be fun to find out what everyone's biggest pull is from their own "commons" pile?

Last year I thought it would be fun to rummage through my 10-year-old box of commons...I found about 10 minor league Jeter cards (Classic Foursport - $25 each) and 4 of them were the foil version! I also managed to find some Thome and Manny RCs.

I posted a thread about this card already, but I found this about a month ago in a common box.

I pulled this one out of a box of Fleer commons a few years ago.



This one I found earlier this year in a box of 2008 commons.

I think the "biggest" finds that I found in my box of commons have been a 1997 Fleer David Ortiz (Arias) RC, I have since sold it, and a 2011 Gypsy Queen Ty Cobb sepia mini. Since I have been collecting for over twenty years I have come across some Michael Jordan inserts (nothing huge) and the occasional base card of decent players.

Ive found many inserts and serial numbered cards I had no idea i had or at least didnt remember them, also rookies of players that for me, at the moment i pulled them were just another plain old rookie and then a few years later they were stars. Ive found a few Ortiz rookies as well like many have mentioned.

I keep my rookies for you never know I found A Clete Thomas Red refractor from 2008 topps Chrome, Trevor Story, Josh Donaldson, 2008 Kershaw, and 2010 Chapman are my most recents

I don't know if it was my biggest pull but several years ago I was going through my box of commons and found a Ryan Howard rc which I found out booked at $30 at the time. Needless to say it didn't stay in the commons after that.

I found a chapman as well, very surprising find when i saw it

I'm assuming you meant cards from your own collection of commons?
Here's some that I can think of ....
Probably my 2008 Topps back to school A-Rod card. Thought it was just a common, but it has a different image and number on the back. I don't have it handy, so cant post a pic. It was about 1000X more than what I thought it was worth. Then, probably were any of my 2011 Topps sparkle cards. When I first started buying them, had no idea they even existed. Then i sat down and went through all my 2011 commons and found a half dozen or so Sparkle variants. Oh, yeah .... 2011 Topps Update US175 ... after Trout became a household name, I went back through my commons and found a few of those that I thought were pretty common and nothing special. Nice to revisit your common stash every few years. things change

In the mid 90's an employee gave me a box of cards she found while packing to move. I sorted them and took the stars out. In the box was also a 1962 Cubs Team Card (#552), I never cared for team cards so just put it back in the box and forgot about it. A couple years ago while looking for Yankee cards for my nephews I found the card, of course now it is being treated properly.
