Road Trip Rippin'

 As has become my family's custom, we have been taking one road trip a year for the last five or six years.  While on the road trips, I've made it a point to try and find sealed boxes of cards at Walmarts and Targets that I have a harder time finding since I live in southern California. The second biggest pull of my life happened four years ago in New Mexico when I pulled a crazy Julio Rodriguez prospect auto numbered to 99. 

This year our trip again took us to Northern Montana (and this time into Banff, Alberta Canada) but unfortunately I wasn't able to find anything as big as the Rodriguez card.


I pulled a Max Duggan Contenders rookie auto from a mega box found in a Polson, Montana Walmart. This kid will probably get cut by the Chargers in the next few days so it's not the best pull though I am a Chargers fan.


I pulled this Charles Bediako rookie auto out of a Contenders basketball blaster that I found at a Target in Kalispell, Montana. I don't know much about this kid so I don't think this card is worth a whole lot.


I'm including this Kendre Miller rookie auto on this post because I actually used Panini Rewards points for this card that I pulled out of one of the boxes I opened while on this trip. At least here I got to pick the player and I think Miller has decent upside in the long term.

And of course, here are some of the obligatory landscape photos from the trip itself.
