Has anyone ever pulled a great card from Wal Mart or Target?

I keep hearing about pack searchers that go through each box. The only 2 hits that I ever got (if you can call them hits) is a Jerry Gil autograph card from the DiamondBacks and a Prince Fielder pants card. I keep saying that I will never buy from the retail stores again but I can't help it especially when I throw them in the cart and my wife ends up paying for them along with all her other stuff she picks up.

    The all SP box of Heritage was pulled at Wal Mart.

    That's the secret of Target/Walmart!!

    I did feel I was doing well buying the 2008 UD Football when they had it at Half Price recently.... I bought a few boxes and got Rookie Relics of Matt Ryan, Ray Rice x2, Joe Flacco, and Chris Johnson.

    I mostly stick to the sealed stuff, although I have to say, I was shocked the other day when I went to Toys R Us about 4 weeks ago, found packs of 2007 UD Football and one had a Adrian Peterson Rookie Card Visible...

    Never pulled anything worth having. I don't buy alot, but I buy 4 or 5 boxes a year.

  • I pulled a 2007 A&G Red Ink Auto Greg Louganis from a Wal-Mart box once. Also pulled a 2007 A&G Mickey Mantle Game Used bat that year from a Target box. Pulled a 2008 A&G Red Ink Auto Jeff Francis from a Target box. Those are about it though. 2007 was the year that every box I bought from Wal-Mart or Target (Allen and Ginter) there was either an auto or game used in there. It was a great year. 2008 was disappointing.

  • I got a Palmeiro signed Piece of History bat card out of a single pack of UD retail several years ago at a Wal-Mart. Turned around and sold it for $500.

    Got an auto in most of the boxes of UD Goudey last year when they were half price at K-mart

    also, I think Nick's cut sig of that King came from a blaster in a case he bought - but not from Walmart/Target
  • My buddy pulled a Tim Lincecum '52 Topps auto card in red ink from a blaster from Target. As for myself, nothing special

  • My best pull was in a Target Blaster of Topps '52 Rookie when all Topps products were doing the Road to 500 with A-Rod. I got 3 consecutive signed 1 of 1 cards in the same pack.
  • pulled an autographed Ichiro rookie back in 2001 from Target

    So I was reading this thread and had to run to the store to get something for my wife. They still have one discounted box at the grocery store that has been there for like two months. A box of Upper Deck SP for $8. Everytime I go it is just sitting there looking at me. Did pull an OJ Mayo Rookie Jersey. Apparently one per box, so not really that great.

    I've pulled 3 red Real One auto's from each of the last three years of Heritage, and I've probably bought less than 10 retail packs of each year.

    I also bought one pack of 2001 Topps American Pie while waiting in line at Wal-Mart. Pulled a Marilyn Monroe dress relic that is silly rare.

  • Got a Steve Young auto'd card out of 2004 Topps Football at Walmart that I sold for about $125 on eBay very shortly thereafter.

    I pulled a Matt Forte UD SPX Gold Game-Used Pubic Hair Relic Xfractor Die-Cut Red Ink Auto /25.

    Aside from that, not much

    I pulled a Topps '52 auto of Gil McDougald when I was like 13 or 14. My mom bought me the pack and wrapped it up for my birthday. It was my first auto and I took great care of it. Sent it to PSA and it graded an 8. Also, a few bazooka back and no number mini's from A&G.

    In the early 2000's I pulled a Sandy Koufax Jersey that I sold for over $400. That was back when jersey cards were worth more than $0.99 like they are today. image
