1998-99 SkyBox Premium series 2 hobby pack (with a surprise)

So I got another hobby pack of 1998-99 SkyBox Premium series 2 in slim hopes I could pull a good RC or perhaps a rare Ruby pull. I know sometimes you can get nothing but base in these, but the cards are so pretty, and there are so few of these left unopened, that it's worth a try for under $20. Definitely more exciting than pulling today's stuff, IMO.

Anyway, yeah, I got one of these from Steel City (I think there's only one left now), and this time...it was all base.

But not all was lost!

For those of you who have ordered from Steel City before, you know they often throw freebie packs in from other sports or entertainment (usually odd low end stuff that doesn't sell was well as other products, naturally). It's still fun to open these though to see what comes out. In my case, I got another 2015 Panini Americana celebrity pack and 2018 Leaf football pack. The football pack didn't yield anything that looked too interesting, but the celebrity pack...

oh wow. This was an EPIC pull. I showed my husband, who said I needed to laminate it and put it in locked storage.

Look at this amazing card...

I totally put it in a penny sleeve, top loader, and team bag, and it will sit proudly on top of my miscellaneous sports/entertainment card and memorabilia box in my card closet.

Best unexpected laugh ever from a card break.
