Not bad for a Wal-Mart pull.

Not bad at all... hate the look of it though. =)

Not so much that you beat the odds on a pull like with a retail GU or Auto, but that you happened to pull one of the few good cards from the set/paralel.

Nice work nonetheless!

The odds of pulling an auto/relic are 1:12.

The odds on a Gold Parallel are 1:60.

So I did better than a GU or Auto.

Didn't know it was a gold... not a fan of that set and don't know the odds.

1:12 in retial! Are odds really that good nowadays... used to be like 1:30 at best lol...

Well, grats again ever the more.

Sadly, Wal-Mart has a bunch of hobby packs.

Well I don't really see that as being sad...

All I remember them having are those stupid little shrink-wrapped boxes with like 10 packs and a "bonus pack" with horrible odds.

Grats on finding a hobby pack in that wal-mart hell and then actually pulling something good... what does it book by the way?

Here is the current bv:

2006 Topps Turkey Red Gold 630 Justin Verlander (http://javascript<b></b>:popUpAdd('/myCollection/item_detail.asp?action=view&lPGItemID=5916205')) $30.00 $60.00

Damn... thats a nice card too. I would be lucky if I got base cards from a Wal Mart pack. Usually I just get those dumb cardboard fillers.

Your luck is strong...you must be using the force

Very nice card Charlie! Verlander looks to be a great pitcher. It does look kinda funky though. Still, you sure can`t complain!! Congrats!
