uhhh...that question cannot be answered truely. There is no way to say how your doing because there is no status in card collecting. In card collecting money is what brings the good collections,rare autos and patches and vintage. This isnt to flame you or anything,but you need some high end in your PC

high end or not, as long as you are happy with your collection that is all that matters. I personally love the Niekro auto and Horner GU.

I understand what your saying. Im planning on buying my first box sometime within the next two weeks so hopefully there will be some major mojo in it.

Take the money you were going to spend on a box and buy 1 good card. It wont be as fun but you wont be dissapointed when you bust $100 box and get nothing. Where as if you buy a card for $100 you cant be dissappointed because you know what you are gonna get when you buy it.

Is there no trqading anymore? Buying seems the way to go. Sometimes I just want to trade.

Buying is just easier to do. No need to search for someone who has what you want and than make sure you have something to trade for iit. But trading still exists. SCF currently has 3000+ trades in progress.

I mainly bust boxes, and I do much better than if I bought singles.

If this is true can I start buying my boxes through you? I do not think I have ever busted a box where I could sell what I opened and buy a card of the same value of the box that I really wanted. Most of th etime I have trouble getting enough trade value in what I open and people want to trade to get the same value as the box.

I gotta say, I agree with darth on this one...
