Tier One: Buyer Beware!!
Bought nine boxes and cant believe the price for what you get. Got a Nolan Ryan auto to 50, a redemption for a silver ink Hanley Ramirez, and a Jon Jay auto patch. This is way to risky for 3 or 4 cards per pack at $100 a pack. Would of rather used the money towards museum collection. Oh well, my advice is buy singles on ebay. This product is very poor.

way too many people think they are going to open a box/pack and make money on it.
Fact of the matter is that less than 5% of ANY product you buy you will not make your money back on it.
That's why this is a HOBBY... not a livelihood

This is why I will likely never buy a single pack of cards for more than maybe $10 or so. Calling it a box is insulting to boxes everywhere. I'll go with hobby Ginter, I can get a whole box and then some, the same number of hits, and a lot more cards and fun. And given my luck, I'll get essentially the same hits (the ones that make you go, "Wait... who?").
Just my 2 cents!
Also, the advice of "Never buy a box intending to make money" is very sound. Don't do eeet! The ONLY time this may be good is if you get in on the ground floor of what you know is going to be a very hot product. For example, Bowman/Bowman Chrome with Harper. You knew they were going to be very hot products, get a case at $X, wait for the prices to go up, sell at $Y such that $Y-$X > $0 TADA! You made money.
But don't open them. Then if you sell them you're almost guaranteed to end up with $Z such that $Z-$X << $0. No joke.

Was not intending to make money on it. I dont sell this stuff but I the majority of the cards I got wont have any value.

Yeah, that's the real kick in the pants. When you know you could have dropped the money on other cards that would have had WAY more trade value or any value whatsoever to them.
Wasn't trying to sound accusatory in texttone that you were trying to flip a profit. :-)
