    Buying A Hobby Box!

    for yal that dont know i been collecting for 15 years and due to me not having a job for a while i basically sold off all my card well at least all my good ones except my pc. But finally i got a job and some money so i decided to bust a hobby box, the last one i broke was 06-07 sweet shot lol so yes its been a while, anyways heres the problem what box do i get?

    I personally don't like this years limited. The photo quality on it looks very dated and not in a vintage way. I got a Tyreke Evans GU AU and had a Luke Babbitt AU GU and they both looked like a quick google search, photo shot, copy and paste.

    For a single pack box I would say court kings. I love the oil painting art style and it's fun collecting the box toppers. They got for about 60-65 right now. Timeless treasures is also a good buy for about 85.

    For pack a hit box Id hit up the 09-10 crown royale. There's a fair chance you might get a Evans, curry, griffin. There's about 3 or 4 insert sets, all of which have a chance at Kobe GU, AU, or both. They go for about 80 for a box with 4 packs.

    Big box I don't know because I generally stick to the low pack boxes but i had great fun bustin the 09-10 studio. Great looking cards in my opinion

    Youre not guaranteed the 4 hits in retail... and the hits will most likely be scrubs...

    I've pulled a Jennings AU from a retail before so it IS possible to get grat cards. I think this hatred of retail comes from previous years where the majority of good hits were marked as "hobby only" this doesn't seem to be the case with panini
