| With out a doubt, the greatest card I have ever pulled out of a pack of cards, and I wasn't even trying to get the card! I pulled this card at the New England Tri-Star Sports Collectibles Show in Marlboro, Massachusetts. I really didn't have the intent on purchasing this pack either; here's how the story goes. Well, Gabe Kapler was somewhat of a fan favorite here in Boston in his short time here. He was going to be signing autographs at the show, and I wanted to get a couple of his autographs. In order to obtain an autograph, customers needed to purchase a pack of 2003 baseball cards and redeem the wrapper right before you were to get his autograph. Well, seeing the 2003 Stadium Club being the cheapest pack at $2 for a hobby pack, I decided to get two. Well, in the first pack, there it was: Albert Pujols 2003 Stadium Club-Clubhouse Exclusive Game Used Bat-Jersey-Spike card. The odds for pulling this card? Only 1 out of every 2,750 packs! Needless to say that made my day. Here is the scan of the card of the year that I pulled, book value $100: |
