    Which box/es should I break next?

    I'm really starting to get more into hockey these days, maybe it's due to the lockout and I really REALLY miss hockey but so far I'm starting to collect Zdeno Chara and other Bruins,I'm also working on ITG Enforcers and 2011-12 BTP, I have the base set complete now (for BTP) I'm just working on Goaliegraphs and the ruby Masked Men die cuts. I want to break some more boxes and I'm not sure if I wanna just buy some more BTP or venture out into something else... Before I post up what I have in mind I just want you guys to take into account that I do enjoy both set collecting as well as getting hits. So here's what I've been looking at:

    1. Purchase more 2011-12 BTP (The base set is complete so now I'm solely looking for hits and inserts)

    2. Try something new from this list:

    2011-12 Panini Contenders
    2011-12 Panini Elite
    2011-12 Panini Titanium

    2011-12 or 2012-13 Upper Deck Series 1 (perhaps I can find out what all this 'Young Guns' craze is all about!
    2011-12 or 2012-13 UD Artifacts
    2011-12 or 2012-13 UD Black Diamond

    What do you guys think? You steered me in the right direction last time with 11-12 BTP perhaps you can help me out again this time.

    Depends. Ordering from DA, Elite or Contenders all the way. BTP is always good, and IMO 11/12 S1 isn't worth the price point it is at. Black Diamond seems a lot better, Artifacts is consistent (11/12 is a little overpriced to me) and Black Diamond is a lot better this year. All of those are solid. Zenith from 10/11 ain't bad for $50 or whatever it is either!

    Order from here: http://www.pittsburghsportscards.com...1&Page=2011/12 Hockey

    They are a very good store and get contenders at $54 a box. I just opened a case of contenders today and almost every box had something good in it. Each case has 5 patches, 1 nuge or landeskog rookie auto /800, 1 Dual Auto, 1 Booklet. Great chance at getting one of them. Trust me on this one I just opened a case from them

    Even though the base set is done I'd go with the BTP some more.

    -wide verity of different memorabilia
    -masked men inserts are a fun set to build
    -nice goaliegraph auto set list of both stars and up and comers
    -more points for the he shoots he saves redemptions (if you plan on doing it)
    -and who doesn't love goalies!!!

    So one undecided, one Contenders and one BTP, truth is it might actually come down to me purchasing more BTP, however a little part of me wants to try out something new and expand my horizons with either Upper Deck or Panini.

    I think you will be most happy with ITG. I'd go for more BTP.

    I would go with Contenders, had great luck with my box this year. Series 1 would be my second choice, Black Diamond is alright too. Good luck with whatever you pick!
