I Can't Believe What I Pulled From This 2004 Fleer ULTRA Wolverine Box
A collector opens a box of 2004 Fleer Ultra Wolverine trading cards (costing ~$300) and pulls several valuable cards, most notably an Essential Credentials Jambalaya Wolverine card worth around $1,100-$1,700 depending on grading. The box yields multiple numbered cards, medallion cards, and parallel versions, making it an exceptionally successful opening.
Summary
The collector begins by explaining his excitement about opening a 2004 Fleer Ultra Wolverine box, noting it contains 12 packs of 6 thick cards each. He mentions Wolverine is his favorite character and he's specifically hunting for Essential Credentials cards with numbers. Early in the opening, he pulls a green parallel Sabertooth and quickly discovers the main prize: an Essential Credentials Jambalaya X-23 card in exceptional condition. He expresses shock at pulling this card, noting he's never obtained one in his entire collecting history despite opening packs when the original Jambalaya set released. He references market prices showing CGC 9 copies selling for ~$1,700 and ungraded regular versions for ~$1,100. Throughout the remaining packs, he pulls additional valuable cards including a Professor X gold medallion (#200), a numbered Weapon X Wolverine (#181), multiple green parallel cards, Storm and Dark Phoenix medallion cards, and various character cards. He notes the cards are extremely thick and prone to sticking together, requiring careful handling and protective sleeves. The collector also opens a mysterious "top secret" card at the end, which reveals a numbered Quentin Quire card (#42). He concludes that the box was an exceptional pull, driven largely by the Essential Credentials Jambalaya card, and thanks viewers for watching.
