    Go ahead and give it a try but it is no guarantee that you will make a profit let alone break even.

    Basically nothing. Your best is investing money in singles.

    Agreed, the chances of you getting a box(s) and making your money back selling the hits are not good at all. If you spent the whole grand buying boxes, you might make money one 1 or 2. Ur best bet is to buy singles that way you get want you want

    buying a case to resell all the cards is ridiculous,you will make money doing that 1/10,000 times or less. Also that gamble only works when buying really expensive boxes.

    You have to buy singles, get them on players with potential, easiest way to make more money.

    Honestly buying a good Anthony Davis card is well worth it, his prices are dropping and I know once he gets back on the court he will show everyone he's the real deal.

    Damian Lillard is very expensive but maybe u can find a good deal, if you can't go to Kyrie Irving, he's injured and prices have dropped.

    Some other players I like for potential.....

    Drummond, Singler, E'Twawn Moore, Valenciunas,

    those are some players that can bring in big time money cause they have a chance to explode.

    Oh yea, Chandler Parsons rookie cards are really hot, but gotta find good deals. BUY SINGLES, if you want buy a box of gold standard or something to suffice for the exhiliration of opening a pack, but spending it on a case is just absurd, you will more than likely only be able to cover half to two thirds of your money.
