2025 Top Pulls of the year: 10 plus a couple more

[ronfir]

I think I am done busting wax for 2025, so in some ways this is a little early but thought I would show my TOP TEN, plus a couple more cards from my breakage of 2025:

Honorable Mention:



Clear Cut















10: Sorry these really need to go together since from the same product, tie for number 10




9:

8:

7:

6:

5:

4: Okay, not hockey but I live in the Dallas area so this is a huge pull. Not bad as I only bought four basketball boxes all year and three of the boxes were just base Topps baseketball



3:

2: One of two 1/1's on this list, but the 1/1 is hard to read on the card and when I pulled it, I didn't notice it was a 1/1



And now to my NUMBER ONE pull of 2025 Again not hockey but pretty cool:

1: Ohtani 1/1



And finally one more show, this was not pulled in 2025 as it was a redemption that took almost a year to arrive or it would have been in my top ten of 2024



That's it for 2025, hope you had fun ripping wax in 2025 Merry Christmas and my your 2026 be the best year ever!

Thanks, my wife recently passed away and let's just say I went more than a little overboard in busting wax this year. Maybe way overboard. We were married for 53 years and dated for 2 years before that. She was 15, a sophomore in high school and I was 17 and a senior when we had our first date. Lucked out in that she never dated anyone else in her life. She didn't know if I was a good deal or bad deal since she didn't have any other guys to compare me too! She was asked out by many but always told them NO!

Get pulls, Ron!!!

Awesome. I think any of those would probably hit #1 for most people in any year.

Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry to hear about your wife! That sounds like a great long life together though.

Some grail cards for many people on here! Congrats and excited to see how you top this list in 2026!

You had a great year on the card front, so many amazing pulls. Well done here.

Sorry to hear about your wife. I hope you can find peace during these tough times.

All the best for 2026!

Wow some amazing pulls this past year for you. Some of those patches were epic. Some people don't get to pull that many 1/1 in a lifetime and you got two of the best in each sport.

Sorry to hear of your loss, sounds like you had a great life together.

Ron,

Sorry for your loss. If she stayed with you for 55 years, I would say she knew you were a good deal.

Prayers...

Congrats on all those hits. Most importantly the one you had for 55 years.
Sorry for your loss. 30 years for my wife and I on 12-29-25. That is my number one pull.
