I've had luck with Topps, Donruss (Zenith), Tristar, and Upper Deck. Now all there is is Topps. The other guys are no longer allowed to sell MLB or MiLB cards.
I've pulled several certs. Just the other day I was in a dollar store and was looking to pick up some Topps cards they were selling. They had sold them out but they had some 2008 UD Documentary packs. I picked up two packs and pulled an Aaron Laffey cert. That doesn't happen very often...
2008 Topps (both the base set and the updates) had a GU card in every box (the ones they sold at Target and WalMart). I wound up with a ton of those cards and traded most of them for base cards. Recently I pulled a Troy Conyers (USA 16U) jersey from the 2010 Bowman Draft rack pack. Don't know anything about him so I'll have to hold onto it and see if he gets drafted some day and how he turns out. I've also gotten two or three of my GU cards signed.
Granted, most of the certs and GU cards I have pulled are "nobodies," really. But it's still nice to have, I guess.
