It drives me fucking nuts to have 15 cards or whatever leftover to complete a set. I would bust more boxes if they guaranteed a complete base set, plus whatever bonus jersey or autos they threw in.The Hockey Cards Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01650205914327428855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4756971318468684357.post-12321669092181272002009-08-11T00:01:47.398-06:002009-08-11T00:01:47.398-06:00The price sounds good, but it depends on what the ...The price sounds good, but it depends on what the set is and how many cards.<br /><br />For example, the 2006-07 Fleer Hockey set was cool. You'd get a complete base set from one box, and one insert in each pack. No autographs or jersey cards, though.<br /><br />I enjoy getting autographs in packs of cards, but can easily live without them. For me, it's all about getting a complete set.Salhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062573971073651593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4756971318468684357.post-60584222436685522992009-08-10T17:26:04.304-06:002009-08-10T17:26:04.304-06:00A set, and auto and a patch for $30 sounds great t...A set, and auto and a patch for $30 sounds great to me...dayfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09343838411856677615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4756971318468684357.post-17266482941231599512009-08-10T16:05:01.393-06:002009-08-10T16:05:01.393-06:00I would say I bust for base product, players on th...I would say I bust for base product, players on the teams I follow and the occaisonal hit.

I like on card autos of a player I recognize. That's why I like heroes 08. I like parallels from a set that is possible to complete. A parallel set of more than 100 or so cards is ridiculous. Those are the sets I try to complete.<br /><br />I like numbered patches too. Give me a decent on card auto, a few good parallels and a patch every box or two for around $60 or less and I'm happy.stusigpihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02728528326120902610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4756971318468684357.post-87806413937833235822009-08-10T13:16:58.424-06:002009-08-10T13:16:58.424-06:00I bust for base sets.

I like them and value them both.<br /><br />However, I pretty much judge a box on it's hits. You're going to get whatever you get for the base no matter which box you get. What I mean is whether your box hit is a Pujols auto or a Tony Pena Jr patch, what you get for the base will be essentially the same. The only difference is the hits.<br /><br />Even if you don't get a base of your favorite player, it's never a difficult or expensive thing to get that card.<br /><br />It's not that base cards don't matter, but the only thing that matters between boxes are the hits.Motherscratcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13897795675799572040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4756971318468684357.post-37712667282751772062009-08-10T12:16:32.801-06:002009-08-10T12:16:32.801-06:00You pulled a Cassie Campbell (I am pretty sure) au...You pulled a Cassie Campbell (I am pretty sure) autograph and an emblem /20 (I am positive), I would be more than thrilled.<br /><br />O Canada at the price it is now is an amazing deal.

For something like Topps base sets, I'm gunning for a set. Same with a non-sport box, although since a set is pretty much a given, I'm hoping for a cool autograph (not necessarily the big dollar ones) or something similar. <br /><br />I guess it comes down to value and fun factor. Take Allen and Ginter - big-dollar hits are rare but not impossible. However even when the hits aren't so good there's so much else going on that still makes for a fun bust.Ryan Cracknellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15843206023982274481noreply@blogger.com
