need advice

[mreskaus]

the wife agreed to let me try&bust a csae of hockey&try to make some money.what would be the best case to break?

[subban7677]

To actually make some money? Egad...I don't think any would make you any money.

Want High reward? Just like anything else, have to take a high risk, 13/14 Cup and pray you hit a Mackinnon....or to lesser extent, around a dozen other top ARP's from this year...the 2 Gallys', Hertl, Nichushkin, etc etc....

Wonder what the price will be for the double RC class Cup box..$500 for 5 cards....although have to say, your odds are WAY better than buying $500 worth of lotto tickets ;P

Wife agreed on you making money busting wax ? Oh my. Here is a challenge, go watch all the vids uploaded on youtube and find me a couple which would have made money. A PC item and break even is good hope I would think.

buy a case of the cup. high risk, high reward!

So i assume you already know this is a losing proposition. For this to even be possible you have to rip the most current product and be the first or one of the first to have it up on Ebay. Your best odds are The Cup, wait until fall and grab yourself a case. I know i will!

The Fall, that long?...:/

I've had good experience with ITG 1972. There are a ton of short prints and there were several people who were trying to put together the autograph set and that really boosted the value of SP. Not sure about current collectors

I will tell you that the market has softened on that set, but its still quite easy to pull $50+ autos and other really nice items in a case. Plus, cases can still be gotten for under 600. Be forewarned: You have to sell the base sets to make a profit and be prepared to sit on that stuff for years. I bought in 2011 and it took me almost 2-2.5 years of sales before I sold enough to get a profit and I only finished selling the last few items recently.

GL & Cheers,
