It took all week, but we’ve finally gotten to the best of the bunch. In 2016, I struggled to come up with five cards to showcase. In 2017, we had 45 cards to get through before the top 5. You can’t predict baseball… cards? Here we go…
Not long ago, I commented on the contrast between my fortunes in 2017 and 2016 on Twitter.
At this rate, the best card I pulled last year might not even make my top 20 this year. Crazy.

And, with the best card I pulled in 2016 selling for just $30, this is indeed the case. It took one last big score from a case break to do it, but I pulled 20 cards in 2017 that topped my best from 2016. And now you get to read about each and every one of them! Settle in, this might take a while…
Now we get to the fun stuff. The $20-30 range is where you’ll find your expectation-level hits. As in, this is usually the best you can expect to get from a box. Now, when you’re spending $60-100 per box, you’re sure hoping for something at least this good to be in there. But all too often you’ll get a 99 cent “hit” and a base card will be the prize of the box. Enjoy it when these fall regularly, even though they won’t make back half of the price of the box.
