RE: Big fish caught from 2017 triple threads.
jchavers78, I don't mean to hijack your thread, but the point of getting on the Forum is to talk about cards and collecting, so 1 more comment and I will back off...
I got a Judge relic/auto card out of Diamond Kings this year and traded it for a Killebrew/Puckett/Oliva/Carew relic card from Patheon. Both were listed at $120 at the time but the Judge blew up to $240 shortly after the trade. The only other "Wow" hit was back in the 90s when I pulled an insert of Frank Thomas from a pack of Score. Cost me $1.79 and a dealer traded me $60 of cards for it.

I've pulled a couple of real monsters myself before this one including a Puckett bat knob. The thrill of big pulls has created the allure of the chase.

Both times I actually did get slightly dizzy!
Good news, I did not crap myself either time.
But for Trout, highly probable.
Just in case, in the future, wear Depends when ripping wax.

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.

Doc, we've been over this. I will never pull my own Trout auto.

Nice. Really hard to beat that hit.
