Box purchase advice

[montserratplay]

Hey, all - I am considering purchasing a box or two of cards outside of my boring Topps base habit. Which do you think I might choose? I am considering products with three criteria in mind: low cost, number of "hits" and tradeability. Stuff like Bazooka generally come at a reasonable cost and with a few GU cards, but I dunno if lots of people on The Bench want those cards.

I wouldn't buy Bazooka if you are looking for trade bait. It's a fun set to collect, but there isn't anything valuable or really sought after in it.

2008 ud heroes would be a nice product to open. Best regards, David

I'd vote Heritage, depending on your definition of 'low cost'. Enough collectors, SP's, chromes,inserts, GU is a decent chance, auto, black ref or case hits are a reasonable possibility.

This was a fun set to open boxes for. I was buying them for $35 or so a box on Blowout and Charm and remember them jumping to $70 or something like that when I stopped buying cards.


Wow on second thought I don't think I've been on here in a long time.

Third listing, he just dropped it a whole penny from the last expired listing!

DaClyde - Wow, that is an odd box! Unfortunately, I took German, so I wouldn't be able to read much of the prose on the cards!

08 Heroes is a good suggestions, but I'm not a huge fan of the design. Do a lot of people like the design? I prefer the full-bleed design in base cards.
