91 or 92 Classic Tony Smith Auto Rc #'d to 6,000 something. Oddly, the entire pack was filled with nothing but them!!! I was 12 years old and I thought I was rich as I sifted through the 10 or so cards. The card shop owner just stood there and didn't spoil it for me, though I am sure he was thinking Poor Kid!!!
This should have been my first hint, that I would never pull a good card out of a pack myself. Unfortunately, it took a very long time and a great deal of wasted money to realize it. Now I just buy what I want outright. However, its certainly not as fun winning an auction in which 20 bidders all bid in the last minute.

A lot of us have come to that same realization. Nice story.
