The player you always find in your pack

Sometimes.

I forget who, but there was one guy in 74 that I had maybe 20 of. The others I had maybe a few where I'd gotten three.

And 94 Signature rookies I kept getting this same guy from the Yankees
Of course, later I was happy to have three signed Jeter cards. (Down to the one keeper now)

In one early batch of 81 Donruss each pack had 11 of the same card and 4 random ones. Not messed with as I saw the case get opened. The dealer pulled them and sent them back before I could get any, one kid got 11 Yaz cards, his friend got 11 checklists.

When I was a kid I bought maybe 20 packs of 1980 topps over that year (mostly rack and cello) and got 5 Henderson rookie cards!!! boy do I wish I had em now!

1978 Topps Mike Lum still haunghts me to this day. I would buy 3-4 packs when I could back in the day, and it just seemed like he would show up every time.

Had 13 Mantle switch hitter connects cards from the 1962 set. Probably beat the crap out of all of them.

As a kid buying packs in 1957, my nemesis was always Herb Plews. Must have had a dozen of 'em.

My first packs in 1965 always contained Gary Bell. I think I got one in each of my first five packs.

Roy Face. ALWAYS Roy Face.
