Need box advice

[bravesfansunite]

I've got $75 in gift certificates to spend, so I'm going to get a box to bust. I need some opinions on which box I should get this time.

I was thinking one of these:

2007 Upper Deck Masterpiecs
2007 Upper Deck Elements
2007 Upper Deck Sweet Spot
2006 Upper Deck Future Stars

Which of these would you get? Any other boxes folks would recommend? Thanks for any help.

I would go with Sweet Spot

I love the Masterpieces sets, that's the way I would go.

Elements might have too many expired redemptions, I think they expired pretty quickly after it came out for some reason.

I guess it depends if you want to build the set or looking for specific players or hits on which box I would recommend from the other 3.

I think they all have redemptions. Elements could be cool or Masterpieces (especially if you like #d parallels). I'd stay away from sweet spot as alot of the autos have faded in their packs...I got a Billingsley auto out of a pack last year and I could barely read it.

I would go with Sweet Spot

Usually I'd agree with that, but I think 07 was the year they had such terrible fading problems. I like the Masterpiece set, and the one box I busted had a Griffey GU and a Cliff Lee auto, so that'd be my pick off the list you posted.

Masterpiece sets are nice! Best regards, David

I like sweet spot but yes, some of the autos did have fading issues. Any way you go you can pull some nice cards.

I would go with Masterpieces. Actually, I would go with 2011 Topps Chrome, but out of those listed, I would go with Masterpieces

the bad thing with sweet spot is I think that was the year all the autos are fading. Plus I hear there are a ton of redemption cards, so you will get stuff with a expired worthless redemption.

I'd still go with 08 UD heroes... seems like that is the best box with most hits for the least money the past few years

Thanks for the advice guys. I decided to go with 2007 Elements. I really like that set and I think I'm going to try and put it together.

But I'm sure to make another order next month and I'll probably go with the Masterpieces next time that everyone recommends. Thanks again.
