Good box choices?

Naturally, as a kid, we make lists for the holidays and whatnot.
Since my list was reasonably small, perse, the prices of things could be a bit higher.
As for hockey cards, this is what I asked for-

11-12 Ultimate Box
12-13 Artifacts (2 boxes)
12-12 Series 1

Good choices? Bad?

I'm an Artifacts fanatic, so of course I had to ask for some.

Not bad if that is what you like! Also depends on who is buying you cards - anyone not in the hobby usually craps a kitten when I tell them how much stuff costs, so I usually just ask them to go by Target and get me a $10 blaster or something...

Im 16. I usually ask for money because when I tell them that I want $90 box of cards I get a look that my dog gives me. I then give my mom the money and buy a box of cards I want on D&A on her credit card.

If your family does buy you boxes I would advise staying away from ultimate. I always wanted to get a box of that and pulled the trigger last year and it hurt. I would advise you getting 2 boxes of contenders at $53 a box on atlanta sports cards. Artifacts is very choice. 12-13 series 1 is not agood choice with no big rookies to hit its not worth it. Id advise 11-12 spx 11-12 certfied both around same price!

Good Luck!

Are your parents looking to adopt? If so I can make myself available.

LOL, my family is like that. I put Between The Pipes on my list, as they're a good set at a good price. $60/box didn't scare anybody.

Not a kid or anything (I'm 27), but of course people still ask for a list. On a side note, my girlfriend REFUSED to buy me cards for xmas!!
