I'll start it off ... Mine took place in 2001, and I had just won a Donruss Stat Lines auto of Albert Pujols off of Ebay. It was a redemption, and I sent it in right away. Well, the time went by and I didn't hear anything for about 8 months. Finally, I get my package from Donruss and they explained that they gave out too many redemptions for the print run of the serial-#'d cards. Instead, they included an autographed version that had no known print run. I hung onto it for a bit, then ended up trading it for a Babe Ruth bat card with a print run of 50. At the time, there wasn't any real info on the Pujols, but after a while, it became apparent that there were very few of them, and it starting commanding about $400 on ebay. Needless to say, I could have sold the Pujols and gotten bat cards of Ruth and Dimaggio for my PC. While I love having the Ruth today, it would have been nice to have enough cash to add another NY legend with the extra money.
