What was the first jersey card you ever pulled?

KingCobra

Mine was a Jerry Porter jersey from one of those Target mixed bag retail boxes...and man, what a feeling. I've never been able to duplicate that excitement, but the story of everyone's first GU/auto is always fun. List them here

Mine was Gregg Maddux. By the way is that a pic of your girlfriend??
Interesting pose she's doing.

and then, my step-cuz stepped on it and bent it in half...lol

Quiksilver77

lol, the first auto i pulled was a mike alstott autographics...while i was putting it in a toploader, i dropped it, and just my luck, lands right on its corner and the corner just dies...i was bout ready to cry, lol

KingCobra

I agree with Quik, one per pack does NOT COUNT.

What we're looking for here is that amazing feeling of beating the odds for the first time...for many of us, it was the first time you'd ever held a piece of game-used jersey in your hands. We've all pulled many more, and many people buy boxes several at a time now, but nothing beats that first one.

The 1st Auto we pulled was a Peyton Manning Auto from a $29 box
of 1999 Collectors Edge Supreme.We both were so excited.

The 1st GU we pulled was when CJ pulled a Joe Dimaggio Bat card

We still have both in our collection where they shall remain forever!

Superstar5

Maybe Ivan Rodriguez, I can't really remember for sure.

zimmy3

I cant remember what my first GU was, but I can guarentee it was probably the worst one you could possibly pull from the brand (also of note that has been my luck since that first pull too)

First auto: 2001 Vinagte Trent Dilfer outta a $35 box.... odds were like 1:475

bjork73

First autographed cards came out of a retail Hot Box of 1995 Pro Line football; about 50-something autographs, but the best one (actually EIGHT) was Keenan McCardell... whoopdedoo

First GU was a John Elway Legendary Jersey from 2000 UD Legends (football of course ) bought at Target... booked at $100 at the time... now it's at $50 after taking a 50% hit in one bloody freakin' month but still for trade

First dual GU: 2001 Bowman's Best Franchise Favorites Rod/Charles Woodson dual GJ

First triple GU: Steelers Triple Threads from 2001 Pacific Impressions

First quad GU: Red Wings Quad Jersey from 01-02 Heads Up

First dual auto (and biggest pull to date): 1999 Stadium Club Co-Signers Jeter/Chipper obtained from one of three HTA packs bought at a hobby shop's clearance sale... best $9 I ever spent on cards

First GU/AU: 2001 Fleer Genuine Names of the Game Johnny Unitas GJ/AU from the last pack of a hobby box that set me back an absurdly low $27... also picked up an ATrain jersey/RC (sorry... both traded out... but now I have a 01 Contenders Tomlinson RC that's gone up 50% along with other nice cards )

My first gu came from a retail box of 1999 UD Black Diamond baseball from K-Mart which cost $19.99. It had a silver sticker stuck to the box under the plastic that said, "Game Used Bat Cards Inside!!!" instead of, "'Look For' Game Used Bat Cards Inside!!!" I bought it and opened it to find zero bat cards. I called up Upper Deck and told them that that was false advertising and they said, "Sorry, that sticker was a last minute addition to promote the bat cards and was only put on a handful of boxes. We are sorry for the poor wording and will send you 6 free packs of Black Diamond." Well, I waited for around 6 weeks and no packs showed up. I called again and this time got a woman (the last time it was a man). My charm must have worked and she said, "We will send you a bat card right away." A few days later there's a package in my mailbox and it's a 1999 Upper Deck A Piece of History 500 Home Run Club bat card of Eddie Murray. When I got the card it booked for $250, then it went up to $500 at one point, I traded it when it was at $350, and now it's at $150. So I give Upper Deck a 110% grade for customer service.
My first autograph was a 1997 Donruss Signature Series Millennium Marks Derek Jeter auto #'d 341/400 but you said one per pack stuff doesn't count.

First game-used I pulled was a Vince Carter Rookie Remnants Floor #ed /100 from a box of 00/01 E-X, it booked for $100 when I pulled it but we all know which direction Vince´s cards went over the past 2 years.
My first actual jersey card was a 00/01 UD Pros&Prospects Rookie Jersey of Kenyon Martin, which actually made me want to put together the whole set including the RC which I´m still trying as of now.
My first auto pull was probably the sweetest, from a single pack of 99 UD Century Legends I pulled a Mike Bibby auto #ed /100.

dirtmonkey

First jersey pull was a Ray Bourque Jersey from I think 96-97 Upper Deck. They were like 1:2000 packs and it was like $500 at the time. Not sure now as its gone into the hobby black hole.

First auto was a Jeffrey Hammonds out of 92 Classic 4 Sport. Was $40-60 originally, but now I think it's $5. Should've dumped that one...lol
