Which Set from 2008-09 Should I Build?

i dont like treasury based on the base cards chipping easily

Oh I would also like to point out that tops chrome typically has over 200 cards. Bowman only has 150. I like that because it is a little bit easier to get the set.

I'm building Topps Chrome, but I recommend Bowman-the design this year is breath taking.

Thats what I think. I don't think chrome has looked good since 05-06. Bowman looks good every year.

I think the Treasury design is unique...is it "new" and "exciting"? No, but I still like it.

Upper Deck is another choice - I built the entire 1-200 base set in one retail box, and it also has cards 201-220 of retired stars, plus tons of inserts. I enjoyed pulling the entire base set from one box.

I think that' cool to do, also, but I like a challenge. That's why I love going for parallel sets more than anything else. I think dan has made his decision though. He just posted a thread for bowman. The reason I like the bowman design is because it seems to be the high end bowman sets designs from a few years back, but slightly changed. Chrome is just like the topps set. Last years chrome could have been sick if they had found a way to keep the borders black. I would have paid a lot of money to get that set.

Anyone one else have any ideas about which low-to- mid range set is the coolest? I have a bias if you can't tell.

I'll show you what I mean. Here's a bowman sig of melo from 03-04 from ebay. Below it is a card from this year's set from ebay.

I would say Bowman Chrome... But if your going for treasury i have almost the half of them i will trade.

How about Upper Deck MVP? or Topps Tip Off. I am currently doing UD MVP and I'm considering tip off because it seems relatively cheap.

definately dont do treasury, they are practically damaged out of the pack, bowman too. id do topps chrome or spx both are very sturdy and appealing to look at.
