What an incredible pc pull.

That is incredible. Best part about the story is that he plans to keep it forever as Crosby is his favorite player and his idol.

Glad it went to someone that is a true Crosby fan and not to someone playing the lottery in a group break. This is an awesome story!

It's nice to know it ended up in the hands of a true fan and collector

That's awesome. His dad is wearing a Flyers hat! Weird to see him smiling about Crosby!

I am very relieved in where and how this surfaced...the card company / hobby heavyweights cynic in me is slightly less jaded this morning!

I thought the holy grail would have been #87/99.But great pull.

No kidding! As much as I love my son, I can't see myself gifting him no more than a box (maybe 2) of this stuff. But a case?!? Don't these ppl have monthly bills to tend to? :|

I was so excited for my box of 92/93 UpperDeck for Christmas in 1992!!

Yeah, seriously. Hopefully this kid actually realizes how lucky he is.

Pulling your PC player/team in a box is always a great feeling.

There would have been some serious explaining to do given that Buybacks was released before it was even known that e-Pack existed.
