I remember a couple from when I was a kid. In 94 I pulled a red holoview Manny Ramirez from an Upper Deck SP pack. Not worth much any more but I was pretty excited at the time.

In 1996 I bought a pack of the leaf signature series and pulled a Alex Rodriguez auto gold variation at a local card show. It was basically the best card you could pull from the product at the time. It had just came out and I had no idea what it was worth. I must have had offers from about every dealer at the show before I sold it for about $400. Not bad for a pack that was around 10 bucks.

A Brooks Robinson auto in a (I believe) Heritage pack a few years ago.

New cards-
2010 Topps Duo Stamps Buster Posey. Serial numbered out of 50, or a 2013 Heritage Zach Wheeler Red Autograph serial out of 10.

Old cards- 1973 Willie Mays.

1971 Bob Gibson when I was a kid. Really wanted ANY Cardinal, and Bob was a real bonus!

All my luck was condensed into one day. In a store in the early 2000s, a Bird Magic (from my second pack of 81 Topps) and a Jordan (from my first pack of 86 Fleer). Not quite as good as it sounds, the Jordan was very roughly cut and off center.

Other than that, busting older packs has been an exercise in futility.

Nice, when I first got back into collecting two of the first cards I bought were a 90 Leaf Thomas and an 89 Upper Deck Griffey. Never did pull one as a kid though.

Default 1st pack ever............

Back in 1976 when I was 9 years old, I bought my very first pack ever of Topps (15 cents to be exact!). Being a Red Sox fan, I was thrilled to see
Rick "Rooster" Burleson on the top of my first pack ever! Near the bottom of the pack was Denny Doyle. I played SS in little league and was absolutley thrilled at that pack. I caught the "bug" that day and have not stopped since!

While I have certainly pulled bigger and more valuable cards from packs over the years, for me, this was my most memorable!

Peace, Mike

Jerry West signed Upper Deck card way back in circa 1991-92; paid for new glasses back in the day.
