This thread is for people who have pulled their top wanted cards (not from a case) or found unexpected more premium cards than stated (as I've noticed on the box breakdown threads ie - 2x autos in a box for Batman & Robin , 2-3x autos in Buffy Season 5 , 6x autos in Hercules Legendary Journey)...

I've not had much luck yet to post for this, boo hoo...

OK I'll bite-

top 10 pulls from single or multi-box purchases, but not cases-

Andy Hallett as Lorne- Angel Season 2

Kelsey Grammer as Beast- X-Men: The Last Stand

Beverly Crusher Dual Color Costume- The Quotable Star Trek: The Next Generation

Nicholas Brendon as Xander Harris- Buffy and the Men of Sunnydale

Amber Benson as Tara- Buffy: Women of Sunnydale

1) Karl from lost season 3 auto

This message has been edited. Last edited by: AJJ,

It has been some time (1995), but my best box was Hildebrandt Separate and Together. I pulled:
Medallian Card
Greg & Tim Hildebrandt Auto
4 Robin Hood Subset cards (set + extra)
8 MagnaChrome Subset cards (set + 2 extra)
Complete set

I'd like to request that this thread is deleted on the grounds that it's depressing.

Nice pulls everyone. I don't think I've ever really had any great luck!

My first EVER sealed box was BtVS s7 and I pulled the PW1 Tom Lenk costume card, with all the gold trim. And by gold trim, I mean there's literally barely any white cloth, there's just tassles, white threads, and loads of gorgeous stitching in gold wirey wool! I know there's others out there, but I think *mine* is especially beautiful. :P

Great lists everyone!

Hmm...Not from a case and from a sealed box....I don't have my cards in front of me so I'm going to go off of what I remember. Here goes...

1)Buffy 10th Anniversary Stake Prop Card
2)Complete Highlander Hidden Archive Box
3)Charmed Destiny (right set?) Piper/Leo Dual Auto
4)Alias Season 1 Jennifer Garner Auto (from 1 box when it was 1st released to see if we liked the cards!)
5)Battlestar Galactica Premier Katie Sackoff Auto
6)Battlestar Galactica Season 2 Katie Sackoff Auto Costume card (This was a case ordering incentive that was inserted in the bottom of the box!)
7)Buffy Men of Sunnydale Evil Trio Triple Signed Card
8)Spike Complete Story James Marsters Auto/Pieceworks
9)X-Files Connections Scully Auto Pieceworks
10)X-Files Season 4&5 Scully Auto

In case you don't want to qualify the Highlander box as a "pull" here's the bonus #11

11)Buffy Season 5 Dawn Auto (from our 1st box of Buffy cards EVER!)

Off the top of my head these were probably the cards that we were most excited to have pulled when we got them! I'm sure I'm leaving off cards that might be worth more, but that's not the point!

Interesting notes on this list: #7, 9 & 10 were opened on the same night during a SDCC! I'm pretty sure my wife woke up the room next door with her screaming!

The Dawn auto was the card that lit the card collecting bug in my wife. It was the 1st auto she had pulled and hasn't really stopped since!

Two that stick out are

Batman & Robin movie - George Clooney & Arnie autos from the first box I bought.
Van Helsing - Hugh Jackman auto redemption in first box I bought.

Here's my pulls from a box or boxes (not case)

Star Wars Vehicles:3-D card #2 and Redemption card for the 3-D card #3
Marvel Masterpieces:Temptress sketch by C.Hernandez
Star Wars Attack of the Clones Widevision:Jar Jar Binks and Watto auto's
Star Wars Revenge of the Sith Widevision:Amy Allen auto
Star Wars Evolution:Tim Rose (Admiral Ackbar)and Captain Neda.
Heroes:Peter Petrelli auto (was a case but bro nabbed random box)


Been quite lucky getting 2 auto's in some of my boxes.

From what I can remember...

• Viggo Mortensen auto from LOTR Chrome
• Karl Urban auto from LOTR Chrome
• John Watkins-Chow Boba Fett Sketch from SW30th (only one he did!)
• James Earl Jones auto from Star Wars Evolution - only bought one pack, at Target!
• Meng auto from WCW Main Event (never seen any other autos from that set, but I haven't really looked much)

And if we're including sports....

• Will Clark auto from 96 Leaf Signature (bought one pack and pulled my favorite player!)
• Jerry Rice 1/1 Prism Proof Set Redemption from 99 Pacific Prism Rookies Something-or-other

Just started into Non-sports

Eowyn by Steven Miller LOTR M2
Obi Wan by Sarah Wilkinson Star Wars 30th

Sports
Mel Ott Cut Auto 7/7 2001 Legendary Cuts
Babe Ruth Triple Memorabilia 2003 Timeless Treasures
Mickey Mantle 6piece Memorabilia 10/10 07 Topps Sterling
Cal Ripken Jr Auto/Quad Memorabilia 7/10 07 Topps Sterling

I'm glad that you all have had great pulls but my list just looks pathetic...

in no order:

Charmed Connections- Piper pw card (leather skirt redemption)

Breygent scifi/horror movie poster cards- a very detailed sketch card from Steven Miller. It almost looks exactly like the movie poster from 'The Fly'.

WitchBlade Disciples of the Blade- three autos instead of the stated two. Thought it was pretty neat and they weren't doubles.

WitchBlade tv series- a pw for the jacket and an auto that I needed for my master set. (it was a good box)

Charmed Conversations- An Oded Fehr auto, I was a big fan of Zankou.

I have a bad habit of buying more than one box of a title so I don't have a great variety and not even a top 10.

How depressing....

Hollypop: I don't think it's depressing! Those are cool cards! The Witchblade Jacket PW is 1 of 2 cards I'm still missing for a master set! lol

The Charmed Connections PW Redemption card is cool too! Congrats!

Here are a few of my faves:

1-Terry Farrell from 1 box of Quotable DS9
2-Torri Higginson from Stargate Atlantis Season 2
3-Rachel Luttrell from the same box!
4-Dominic Monaghan from a retail box of LOTR TTT
5-Joel Gretsch redemption from a single box of 4400 Season 2
6-Thor sketch by Jerome Moore from Marvel Masterpieces

That'll do for now - it's been a long day & I'm off to bed!

Goodnight all!
