My top pulls so far:

Charlie & the Chocolate Factory - Freddie Highmore Auto
Batman Begins - Katie Holmes Auto
X-Men 3 - Anna Paquin Auto
X-Men 1 - (2)Hugh Jackman Autos, (4)Ian McKellen Autos, Famke Janssen Auto, & Bryan Singer Auto out of about 13 hobby boxes in the last year

I can come up with my top 3 pretty easily. I frequently start a new set by buying a single box to catch a base set and a start on the chase cards. Here are my best 3 "starter" box pulls

1) Breygant 3 stooges: Curly Joe cut signature
2) Twilight Zone Premiere: Shatner auto
3) Batman and Robin: Schwarteneggar Auto.

I pulled a guy from Star Wars that was pretty popular, and that Disney sketch wasn't too bad either...

Off the top of my head and in no particular order:

1. Cat Staggs Grievous Sketch - Topps Revenge of the Sith
2. James Earl Jones autograph (x2, in one pack!) - Topps Star Wars Evolution
3. Johnny Depp autograph - Artbox Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
4. Megan Fox autograph - Topps Transformers
5. Dominic Monaghan autograph - Topps Lord of the Rings Twin Towers
6. Gary Oldman autograph - Topps Batman Begins
7. Leinil Yu Moon Knight sketch - Skybox/UD Marvel Masterpieces (20007)

Considering the size of my collection, I'm surprised I can't think of 10 big card pulls. I guess most of my really good cards have been purchased through eBay. I could mention a few monster sport card pulls, but that would be off topic.

This is what I've come up with so far. Totally in random order.

Not really lucky with my pulls.

Transformers- 2 costume cards-Soccent Soldiers-one box.
Harry Potter:Order of the Phoenix-2 costume cards(not rare)-2 boxes.
And last and least....Star Wars 30th anniv.-2 autos(insignificant, at least to me)-2 boxes.


I've stopped buying boxes because I have very little luck in pulling something at least desent so I just buy the card I want from ebay or a dealer.

I couldn't even produce a top 10 of my pulls,but I tried........

10 top pulls - phew - not an easy task. Here's mine - not in order

1. LOTR Evolution - Cat Staggs sketch of Theoden
2. Star Wars 30th - Joe Corroney sketch of Ponda Baba
3. Star Wars 30th - Allyson Sohn colour sketch of R2D2
4. Star Wars ROTS - Dave Fox sketch of Anakin
5. DC Legacy - Andy Price sketch of Batgirl
6. Indiana Jones Heritage - Russel Walks sketch of Indy
7. Vintage Posters - Ruth Hussey cut signature 2of2
8. LOTR TTT - Christopher Lee Auto.

Sorry I haven't got 10, even some of the above are not worth $100, but they are special to me.

Okay - I have to add to this... The Heroes 1 thread in box breakdowns looks disappointing, but I love the show so I bought 1 box (at a pretty good price) to get a base set and most of the foils. I pulled a nice sketch of Peter AND a Jack Coleman auto FROM ONE PACK. They were next to each other so the sorting machine must have given me the bonus!
