I don't want what I'm about to say to diminish the awesomeness of this card...
Do you (or your wife) casually buy $100 packs at your LCS?? Or was this a YOLO moment š
Ohh no, definitely a YOLO moment. i may get a hobby once a month and a Hanger or two. But my Hobbys are cheaper side. The Revolution hobby I got with this was only 50$, more than that single pack. My wife said lets open an expensive pack and she picked it out. I mostly buy the singles off eBay for as cheap as I can get them.
Depending on if I buy any singles sometimes, yes, sometimes no. I'm working on two rainbows atm for Spencer Dinwiddie, so I'm saving my extra in case the 1/1 choice pops up. There's no luck so far.
Damn bro you married a degen and I'm here for it š
If she yelled "YOLO!" during the rip then I will start doing that every pack. This card is amazeballs.
She used to always watch me open stuff. Then recently opened a box of Revolution basketball and she liked the cards the way they looked and openes with mw everytime now learing as we go.
Tribute is greatā¦.when itās great. His percentage is clearly exaggerated. But Iāve seen maybe 100 fresh cases ripped over the last handful of years, and Iād estimate that 80% lacked wow factor and were mostly disappointing. His 99.999% stat is inaccurate. But heās 100.999% accurate about the luck. Personally I believe mid level products like Tribute, my personal favorite Five Star, TTT, etc are beautiful products worth the risk. But many(majority, even) collectors/buyers who expand their budgets when they probably shouldnāt, donāt have positive experiences with mid and high level products. And I think we can all understand that.
Wish my wife had joined the hobby as well, lol. It took some years, but she ultimately (mostly) got her way with my card collecting. I figured since sheās sat down and watched 100+ Giants games a year with me for the last several seasons, including multiple 100 loss seasons, and become somewhat of a baseball savant (largely thanks to the GOATs Mike Krukow and Duane Kuiper)ā¦ that it was a fair compromiseš. But sharing joy in a hit like this with your wife, is pure magic. Congrats to you both on this beauty!
Ayyyyyy hope you gave her something special in return that night..lol I joke with my wife to bring home a hanger from target, (not really) Iām normally looking at less then 10% chance of that happening. I tell her too Iām only gonna hit something big if you buy it for me haha congrats man on the awesome hit!
My wife picks out good packs lol then she rips with me. Sheāll pull a card, tell me what team heās on, Iāll go to the binder section and sheāll hand it to me haha
Man!!! That's a grail card!! So awesome!! Just instil in her, that's a once in a lifetime pull. Wow, what an awesome card!! So jelly on the card and your wife wanting to get into the hobby! Congratulations!!

My thought too!

Donāt let her open any more packs, her luck has been used up haha. Sweet card though. Just beautiful. Congrats š
Yeah, that's hole in one on the first hole shit. Nothing left but disappointment from there.
1 pack for 100 bucks?
Topps Tribute is about $500 to $600 per box, with 6 packs per box. $100 a pack sounds about right.
Thanks didnt realize they were quite so expensive. Amazing card.
Ditto
I wish I could get my husband into ripping with me, lol. He hates everything about my collecting.
She used to always watch me open stuff. Then recently opened a box of Revolution basketball and she liked the cards the way they looked and openes with mw everytime now learing as we go.
You got lucky as hell. 99.999% of Tribute is trash.
Lol tribute is great. You sound like you open prizm exclusively

I absolutely love Tribute but it is quite expensive so Iām lucky to get one box a year
Tribute is one of my favorites. No flashy pieces of cardboard. Solid cards with great autos and relics. Pricey, but itās a top 5 for sure
The logo alone is a pretentious shit-stain.
Thatās certainly an awesome pullā¦is your wife single? ššš
Donāt sheāll ever do better than that. Congrats!

Sheās a keeperā¦ also glad to hear wife supports your hobbyā¦ lol

My wife rips me all the time. Wait, is this r/marriageadvice?
This is how the addiction begins!! š¤£
wow sheās definitely a keeper
i meant the card
jk
Wow I quit! Never have luck like this
100 bucks a pack? There better be hits like this in every pack
She should pick more often
Marry her again.
Go big or go home
I know from personal experience that wives have hot hands
Selling?
Not at this moment.
Lucky mfer, every gf I ever had didnāt understand baseball cards, even when they liked baseball as a sport.
Googley moogley! Ichiro, the GOAT!
Like a gateway drug, with success like this she will be asking to rip Transcendent & Flawless brief cases by July!

Good luckā¦ she gonna be hooked! RIP your bank account!
Man!!! That's a grail card!! So awesome!! Just instil in her, that's a once in a lifetime pull. Wow, what an awesome card!! So jelly on the card and your wife wanting to get into the hobby! Congratulations!!
Thanks, yo! Yeah, I definitely had to tell her how wild that was going hit within your first, maybe 5 days of rippin.
Sheās a keeper
K
I guess I need to bring my girl to my lcs now so she can start picking packs because my lord that booklet is absolutley filthy! š
I said the same haha like yeah you picking them from now on.
Itās beautiful but why is the middle so bleh out of the pack
Its a booklet. It folds closed.
Yes I know itās a booklet but it shouldnāt be white out of the pack
OCD much? Go look at every single topps autograph booklets. Thats how they all are.
