Random Walmart trip turned into a monster pull! I picked up a blaster box and in the blue manufactured medallion pack I pulled a Ken Griffey Jr. RC Medallion AUTO #2/5!! I was shocked as you all may imagine. I'm trying to determine the value at this point. Ebay doesn't give much help with only two of his non auto /199 cards going for around $45 a piece. Not much to get a good estimate. My question is, when dealing with low number autos is it better to set the market or wait for one or two to sell. Have you guys had better luck with auctions or buy it know with best offer on Ebay when selling cards with higher rarity. Also, are there any pitfalls when grading a thicker card (135pt) and would you grade it? Thanks!

DANG STICKER !!
Nice pull. No idea on value but I do know cards from special packs (could not pull this in the regular packs in the blaster) and with sticker autographs are less desirable than on card autos out of regular packs. Modern guys will have a better idea.
I'll say it - that was an awesome retail pull. I would grade it, I think you only have upside.
Gives me hope that Topps is trying to be fair to collectors unlike Panini. If you are a modern basketball collector, I feel sorry for you after seeing the hobby and retail prices of the new product.
Real nice card.
Great card. You certainly beat the odds!

Wow....at Walmart? I have bought blaster boxes there for years and have never pulled anything worth mentioning.

Awesome pull! I'v probably thrown over a grand away over the years buying retail at walmart and target. Best pull I've ever had was a Alex Verdugo auto out of Heritage. Good luck!

"Rookie Card Retrospective RC Logo Medallion Card"... Me thinks the card repeats itself in a redundancy, I think.

Awesome pull, in all honesty if you got it graded and it came back a BGS 9 or a 9.5 you're looking at probably $499 to $800 on EBay. That's my guess, but a Griffey war could break out and exceed expectations.. Good luck!
Ya didnt do too bad

Nice price - congrats.
Thats a amazing pull and nice card. But for the life of me I can’t understand card companies releasing low numbered cards like this and placing a sticker auto.
Well done.
Just learned something. I didn't realize these were stickers. Just thought it was a manufactured part of the card where the player can sign and not have it smudged on the glossy card.
how much did it sell for in April? Noticed it just sold 5 days ago for $443 via PWCC with a PSA 9
