My first "hit"

I don't do modern unless it's MC or blank backed. I was killing some time and walked into a Toys R Us and bought a 72 card pack. When I opened it it was in a clear cello. I thought well this has clearly been searched. I saw a thicker card but dismissed it. I was surprised. Mike Trout Relic Auto 9/25

Nice hit! I don't really collect modern at all these days but I do get the occasional itch to bust a pack or two.

Sick hit ! Most of the time all that stuff is searched !

Thanks guys. I pressed my luck and bought a box of heritage. Pulled this Longoria. Can't find other black refractors with "TAIL" on the back. Intentional? Any help would be great.

Only thing I could think of
 
1966 Topps Baseball has plenty of quirks to draw from to act as inspiration for Error Variations. These weren't mentioned on the final sell sheet, so it will take a bit of time to build a complete list. But they do exist. Everything from wrong birthdays to misspelled names to wrong photos are among the possibilities.

2015 Topps Heritage Error Variations are inserted 1:840 hobby packs.

If that is what it is it seems like an even better pull than the Trout. I already bought powerball tickets.

Yeah your on a lucky streak . And that trout is probably one in thousands of pack ! That card will bring hundreds 💸💸

You can always trade me the Trout and I'll keep finding our favorite cards for you Mr. Matt :)

Deal Making
 
Rich--This sounds like collusion of some sort :)

Thanks guys. My bro, Ty, has called dibs on it if I can't trade it for a Cobb. I hope I can't. It would be nice to get him in a higher gear of collecting.

Al - I'm just looking out for one of my dealers and offering him cool stuff for his collection :)
