As long as I don't have any issues again, I should have a case coming at the end of the week or beginning of next week. If not, I'll probably go for one of the following.
Another 2007 Gold Edition 12 Box Case
or
Mix of 2 of the following
2007 Gold Edition 6 Box Case (Negative is no guarantee on Swatch or auto kiss with half a case)
2007 Series 1 Case (already opened 1)
2006 Series 2 Case (already opened 1)
2006 Series 1 6 Box Case (haven't opened any, but might want to wait for a 12 box case for case topper)
2002 Series 2 Case (Have only opened 2 boxes)
Not high on the 2005 signature series, but I haven't opened any yet and will get some new autos.
I might pick up one of the bottom cases also if I get my 2005 Signature Series Case, but not another 12 box 2007 Gold due to price.

Changed my mind and ended up deciding to go with another 2007 Gold Edition case and 2002 Series 2 Case to go along with the 2005 signature series. I was going to go with 2007 Series 1, and 2006 Series 2, but I've already busted a case of each and unless I would get an auto/swatch or auto/kiss I there really isn't much I'd need from either.
Overall the auto line up in the gold edition is superior to the other two editions and more autos I could use than from either of the other two. Getting 10 more kiss cards is positive. The case topper isn't as good, but the other box toppers are pretty decent, just hopefully it's not another Jennifer Korbin auto.
So I should have cases of 2002 series 2, 2005 signature series, and 2007 gold edition coming in.

Well it looks like there is a good chance I'm adding a 2006 Series 1 case to that list. Dealer I bought the 2002 and 2005 from did an inventory check and had one left. So I quick placed an order seeing I haven't opened any from that series and they are becoming hard to find a sealed 12 box case at a cheap price delivered. **** it's been an expensive day (4 cases and paid for 3 aubrie cards I was missing, down to needing 5 cards). Now all we need is some more members here to start busting boxes so we can get some trades going.
My personal recommendation is if you only can get one box get a 2007 Gold Edition. If you can afford a higher end box, then 2008 signature series. I do highly recommend going to Jeff Allender's Checklist site and looking through the Benchwarmer checklists first before making any choices. They will be very helpful in making your choice. IE: If you like the Girls Next Door then 2005 series 1 is the best choice, Sara Jean Underwood - 2007 Series 1 is the best choice, etc... It's always good to see the auto lineup and what cards might be scarce or what cards that aren't supposed to be in that series might show up. I enjoy looking at the cards and lists on the benchwarmer website, but they are far from accurate.
On a side note, it was a great mail day also. Got 3 Aubrie Sketches today for my collection along with some base sets of Benchwarmers that I was missing. Just need 1992 now. 2003 Gold Edition Base Set looks amazing.

The 2005 Signature Series, 2002 series 2, and 2006 series 1 cases should arrive today around 6 pm, so I'll post the results after opening them. I am guessing the 2007 Gold Edition should arrive tomorrow if the time in transit on the UPS website is accurate and the seller shipped when they said they did.
