I wonder what the odds are for this...

Can't remember pulling a triple before.

I've never seen that before either. You would probably have a better shot at getting a perfect then that happening. Congratulations for getting the first ever triple pull!!

Gotta love the fat -13 next to his rating taunting you, telling you "A week ago, this wouldn't have happened".

I pulled 3 Bubba Starlings in one pack last year. That's the incredible luck of the unlucky, but as they say, without bad luck, we'd have no luck at all.

If you had gotten 3 in row, like a slot machine, you'd get....

nothing but heartache and 15pp from QS, but there really should be some sort of prize for that kind of bad luck.

I wonder what is more rare, a triple iron or a double gold?

I could be way off here both on assumptions I am making as well as with my math but I figure that in any given Standard Pack there is about a 1 in 50,000 chance of getting two of the same live gold card and about a 1 in 250,000 chance of getting three of the same live iron card. Again, take this with a grain of salt.

My math says I'm glad it was him and not me

That seems to be what I would expect, honestly. I'm still waiting to see someone post a pack with 2 historical perfects or something nuts that has to be lottery win type odds.

A friend of mine just pulled a historical perfect in back to back packs this morning! Jimmy Collins and Hooks Dauss.

Same odds as Greg Maddux hitting a triple?
