Most expensive Auto/Jersey card you pulled

I have horrible luck. I have probably spent thousands and thousands on cards and my best auto pull is a Leaf R/S Matt Schaub Auto/jsy RC. The card books for about a $100.
As for Non sports Autos, my best pull is a Stan Lee auto-maybe $50 book value.
I usually pull the horrible $10 or less autos. No luck I guess. I have pulled inserts that are worth more than that, Topps Chrome Big Ben #refractors.
Anyone else have the same horrible luck with autos, it's just years and years for me now.

Running an Ebay store sure takes a lot more time than a person would think!

In any case, I have had at least 2 notable sucess stories:
1) Willie Mays Sweet Spot autographed card redemption from a single pack. I traded it for a Nolan Ryan on card autographed card with a piece of a game worn Mets jersey.
2) Rafael Palmeiro POH signed bat card. I had just accepted a pay cut with less office requirements to be able to continue working with a group of kids. For whatever reason, I decided to buy a few packs of cards and got the card. I sold it for $500, which was a great blessing at the time.

#2 was a Ben Roethlisberger/Phillip Rivers dual autograph card.
Do you still have the Stan Lee?

Peyton Manning Redemption for Auto'd Jersey from UD Authentics >>
That reminded me of a redemption that I got of a Manning signed football piece. It was framed and matted with an 8 X 10. Pretty nice piece for $3.

I also thought Fleer Legacy Baseball was a great product, had a lot of great signers. I got lucky out of the 3 boxes getting Mattingly, Bonds, and RC's of Pujols and Ichiro and a Hot Gloves Redemption of Ken Griffey Jr.
<< <i>I loved UD Authentics Football for the redemptions. Problem was the redemption box was in the same spot in every case. Although my one 6 box case had 3 redemptions which threw me for a loop. >>
That's a good point, and another reason why I got out of buying boxes of cards. Now granted, the dealer I bought from was very honest. To this day, he is the only dealer that would honestly tell you if the "hit" was still in the box. However, when it came to higher end stuff, he would try to open a box or two in hopes of hitting the 1/1 case hit and would not tell buyers if they had a shot at it.

But when I was younger (12-13 years old), I never pulled a jersey as the odds were much worse then. But the best thing I pulled was a Juan Gonzalez Gold Refractor! LOL!
PCGS Registries
Box of 20
SeaEagleCoins: 11/14/54-4/5/12. Miss you Larry!
Collected from 1980 to mid 90's, then stopped when factory ordered cases/boxes couldn't sell for what you paid for them, even if you had a show 3 days later.
Got into the UD Legendary Cuts in 2001(not sure why, other than getting a cut auto sounded really cool). Pulled a Joe Cronin cut, #9/12. Wound up selling if off Ebay for 1K before the 2002 Legendary Cuts came out. Unfortunately, that kind of got me back into busting . . .
Got a Lincecum orange auto from 07 BC. Haven't sold that yet, but likely will around spring training. That was an awesome pull, but just can't compare with the Cronin.
<< <i>haaaaaaaaaaa-sweet pulls, if i wanted those the chaepest way for me to get them is buy em ,that is a neat looking bench patch card and sweet jordan auto >>
I think half the fun is opening the box and being surprised by the quality "prize" its almost like gambling except there is no real expectation of winning.
A 2004 SPX Albert Pujols auto and this card..
<< <i>Sold it when I needed cash. Still wish I had it.

Sweet mercy what a nice card. Even the patch looks like it really is vintage. How much did you sell it for?

Card booked for $600 and I sold it to my card shop owner for $150 or $175. Good thing is he most likely owns it still as he doesnt really do cards. He sells packs and a few other peoples cards and thought it was a neat card. I've known him for 21 years (I just counted, wow 21 !!) so I was glad it went to someone I know. I spent $20 on ebay fees trying to sell it for 2-3 weeks and no takers. Now that Im out of the hole, I think sometimes about asking if he'd sell it back to me.
I bought one pack at his shop. Opened it in the car. Wife was driving and our 2 young boys in the back. I exclaimed a curse word on accident when I pulled it. Being that I normally dont cuss, my boys were shocked. So was I !!! A Babe Ruth Jersey....piece. Got the same feeling when I pulled a Don Mattingly 2000 Fleer Greats of the Game Jersey with stripe. Thats a nice set.
<< <i>Pulled a 2001 Leaf R & S Slideshow Albert Pujols jersey rookie in '02. It happened to be #'d 3/25. Yes his jersey number. Got $380 for on the bay in '03. Of course I sold it right before the huge spike in the value of his rookies. Probably could have got at least double if I had waited a few more months. >>
That's one of the coolest memorabilia card sets ever made. I'm not a big GU collector because of all the fraud, but a very cool set nonetheless.
Best Auto: Jamarcus Russell, pulled a month ago, sold for $120.
Favorite pull: Hines Ward auto/jersey #ed /86
