Great pulls that never were

[Econteachert205]

Pulled an ultra all rookie shaq 92-93 in the cvs parking lot with my dad when I was 10. Also won fifty for him on a scratch ticket. He let me buy more packs.

I recently picked up some $10-20 boxes and one was a 1994 Donruss. One of the better boxes I have ever had, with regard to beating stated odds. I pulled an Olerud Elite card about half way through the rip and was pretty happy. Not sure I remember ever pulling one, even thought it was in the "easier to pull" time frame of 1994 wax, as opposed to 91-92.

I then pulled a 2nd Elite card a few packs later and this is probably the only time you'll hear someone complain or be disappointed when pulling an Elite, but out came ANOTHER Olerud in the same box!!

Here is my pull from 2005

Man I bought zero cards in the 1990s..no 'pull' experience..but it sure sounded like fun..i sold all of my 1983-1988 topps to a dealer in like 1989 and wondered if I would of regretted it later ...I only got back into the hobby last year and the first thing I did was check on the value of what I sold..

now I realize I only was checking on the 'value' of what I sold..almost all worthless.....I am already questioning why am I back in the hobby....
