Sometimes you get lucky.

I consider myself to be a pretty lucky guy. I've never won the lottery or anything like that, but I've won some pretty awesome stuff over the years. When I used to buy boxes I pulled some nice stuff. I pulled a Joe DiMaggio auto, an Ichiro Jumbo Patch, and a Derek Jeter auto to name a few.

I don't buy many boxes anymore or packs for the most part. Every once in a while I still pick up a blaster or a few packs though. Such was the case a few weeks ago when Target was having a sale on Topps cards. I picked up a hanger pack of Gypsy Queen that I think had three packs and a pack of three green parallels. 

I didn't pull an autograph or a relic card, but I did beat the odds and pulled a green parallel of my favorite player, Paul Goldschmidt, so I considered that lucky.

Here are my other two green parallels. They are up for trade if anyone is interested.
