We're #1

2015 Press Pass Cup Chase - Pit Road Pieces #PPM-TS Tony Stewart Front

18. 2015 Press Pass Cup Chase - Pit Road Pieces #PPM-TS Tony Stewart

When Press Pass announced they were going out of business, I decided to spring for a box of 2015 Cup Chase, the hobby version. In it, I pulled two cards numbered one of something, the second time in the last three years that's happened to me. This one was in the second pack.

2015 Press Pass Cup Chase - Green #77 Chase Elliott Front

19. 2015 Press Pass Cup Chase - Green #77 Chase Elliott

This one was in the first pack...one of ten! I'm not a real big fan of his, but it's a great card and I'll always remember seeing that green foil come out of the pack for the first time.

Amazingly, I won another card from this parallel set in a giveaway on the NASCAR card forum, making it the only set in my collection serially numbered to 10 or less with more than one in my collection.

2002-03 Fleer Authentix - Balcony #20 Jerry Stackhouse Front

20. 2002-03 Fleer Authentix - Balcony #20 Jerry Stackhouse

Nice collection Billy. I'm not sure I've ever owned a card numbered 1 of anything. I'm not nearly so organized as you though, so maybe I have and don't remember.

It was really just luck of the draw on all these...and a couple more I have not uploaded yet. I pulled most of them, and the ones I didn't pull I got regardless...it was just an added bonus that they were #1 of whatever. The more boxes you open, the higher your chances for pulling something cool, and back in the mid-2000s I opened 2 or more boxes per week :)

Are all the scans yours? I can tell the ones numbered on the front are. You could run into a case where 15/100 was already scanned in before you acquired 1/100.

So far they are. I don't know why it doesn't show the back scan of the first card on the list- I posted it to the Database last year sometime. I have one yet to be uploaded that may not make it to the Database- it's of an NBA player currently ranked in the top 3 in percentage posted, and it's not a low numbered card- there are 2998 other copies out there.

Nice collection. I too like collecting the #1s, and also the last card of a serial # series 25/25 anyone? For favorite players I like their jersey number but PLEASE people these are NOT 1/1s. Other fave numbers are 9/ 42/ 007/ (has to be "00" from a set of 100 or more, not just "7" LOL)

Lasts are cool too but I don't have as many of them- and it would be harder to figure out since here I can just sort my Excel charts by actual SN, whereas the last I'd have to go through each number. It could be done, I just have better things to do, LOL.

I like #88 and 164 as well. I also like repeaters, IE 444.

Random oddball thought: 15 of 32 have the number on the front.

A certain card seems to be missing from the list.
