    Question Need some advice please!

    Hello all, I am collecting 10-11 Black Diamond single double triple and quad cards. I have it down to 31 cards needed to have the complete set.

    Now I would like to continue collecting another set from the 10-11 Black Diamond Set. So my options would be the following...


    1. Black Diamond Ruby /100 (would go for the set 1-222)
    2. Gemography
    3. Quad Jeryeys
    4. Quad Jerseys Ruby /50
    5. Team Canada Die Cuts
    6. Hardware Heroes

    What do you guys think would be the best option to go after?

    I guess it depends on how much money and resources you have to trade/spend. My opinion would be the Ruby /100 as:

    A) it is an impressive looking set
    B) You could get a good amount of the set for relatively cheap
    C) you won't have to break you back finding them (I see many of the on the Bay and here for trade and sale.

    Just my two cents, as I think any of the above you listed would be nice......good luck with whatever you decide to do.

    I really like the design of the ruby cards. I think you are right as to how often these cards come up on the Bay and on this site. I think it would be a really cool set to go after. Thanks for your input and thank you for wishing me good luck with whatever I decide to do!

    Thank you for your input! I was thinking about either the jerseys or the Ruby parallel sets to collect!

    I am still open to all comments on this as it may take a while to decide.

    I do have 2 jersey cards from this set and 1 ruby card as well that will go into the set if I do decide to do one of these sets!

    Split the difference and go after the rby jsy set haha. Actually, I would say go for the inserts, jsy and autos before going after the parallels.

    I don't know about a list of importance, but for me (maybe not for you) it would be cooler to see the whole base set (all singles, doubles, triples and quads) with all the jerseys, autos, die-cuts and hardware heroes before the rubies. Like a Master Set kind of thing before going after parallels. I guess my list would look like:
    1-TC Die Cuts, Quad Jerseys, Gemography, Hardware Heroes (in no order)
    2-BD Ruby
    3-Quad Jerseys Ruby

    I suppose that would look awesome when it is all said and done! That sounds like a really good idea too! Thanks!

    Good luck with it. Would love to see scans once you're all said and done. And after that go for all the Rubies and put the entire thing together. How cool would that be?

    I am more concerned with how expensive it will be for me to put it together!
    I will take pictures of my 10-11 Black Diamond set so far once I get some more cards in!
