Sorry if this has been done befor but I was thinking about all my pulls through the years and what I have pulled and I’ve been pretty lucky to check off most “tough” cards

1/1
Shield
High gloss young guns
Cup /99
Gretzky Auto
Multi auto card (thanks contenders!)
Ice premieres /99


The one pull on my bucket list has to be a ice premiers auto patch /10, still waiting on that day! So what are some of your bucket list box pulls?
 
For me, still waiting to pull a Gretzky auto of my own. ( I pulled one from OPC a few years ago when I was helping my LCS owner open a few cases, so that doesn't count)

I’ve been lucky enough to pull 2. The first was an SPGU sticker auto jersey I didn’t really have any problem moving. I should have kept the second, a 12-13 Ultimate Signatures Team Canada SSP from the year Ultimate was a bonus pack In the cup. I really didn’t want to move it but I got an offer I couldn’t refuse at the time. Selling it is a huge regret now, still don’t know a print run since it was unnumbered but UD told me when I asked that under 20 copies was a safe assumption...

Nice. I have 6 Gretzky autos that I plan on always keeping, and want to add a 7th that I pulled before I quit collecting.
 
As I do not physically open most of my cards I will could my group break pulls.

1/1 - I think a few plates from NT but nothing major
Shield - Just one (Michael Stone I think)
High gloss young guns - Never
Cup /99 - Nuke (Traded for Price Ice /99)
Gretzky Auto - Never
Multi auto card (thanks contenders!) - Many, likely also from Contenders
Ice premieres /99 - Actually pack pulled a Del Zotto myself and had a MacKinnon /99 pulled in a break for me.

I don't know what else is on the bucket list. I suppose since they are in some recent releases as cards you can pull I would included like Orr and Gretzky RCs.
 
By far my most impressive “pull” (was a redemption at the time) is my Tarasenko Cup Jersey numbered 091/249 RPA that I got graded BGS 9.5 with a 4 color patch.

Pulled a slew of Gretzkys ad low as /5, Crosbys as low as /15, and 3 true 1/1s but alas no shiled yet.

The vast majority of my breaking has been group breaks
 
My 3 biggest sale pulls and all were well timed during peak "hot" times to sell.

National Treasures Nathan MacKinnon arp /99 (3,500)
SPA FWA Patch /100 redemption A Matthews (900)
UD Update High Gloss YG Jake Guentzel (600)

Note from that same master SPA case I also pulled
FWA patch Mitch Marner /100
-FWA redemption /999 Matthews (graded and came back 10/10!)

Also in 30 years of collecting only pulled 3 Gretzky autos but I have 5 in my collection
 
I don’t break much, but one day I will open an autographed card of a player that’s had more than a cup of coffee in the NHL.
 
Well, good timing on this post as i have just today knocked off another of my big pull wants. i have always been a fan of jsy # cards. cards # to a 100 or less i find it not that impressive when you pull a jsy # when compared to cards numbered a lot higher. so to have a players jsy # for a rookie card say out of a thousand that really is something. So i feel pretty lucky to have finally pulled one that fits this criteria.

But i will say my biggest want for a pull would be a SP Authentic 8 ocktograph.
