Not sure about case prices. Have you checked them out online from the major retailers (dave & adam's, blowout, etc..)?

I would say you would be better off saving some money and just buying a box but if you really want to get a case here are my suggestions that might fall in your price range:

(assuming you are talking about 09-10 product - you didn't state.)

09-10 topps - 1st time with chrome parallel inserts, McDonald's All-American auto's and logomen
Might be a little hard to get a case (this is a very popular product)

09-10 bowman 48 - some great star and legend auto's and auto patches (B. Russell, D. Howard, C. Anthony, D. Wilkens, M. Johnson, J. West)

09-10 Panini Prestige - nice patch (manufactured) auto RCs including college and NBA logo variations. You also have a chance to get some nice legends auto's.

09-10 UD - One or two hot boxes in every case and even the regular boxes have a few GU and auto's(very small chance at Lebron, Durant, or Jordan)

also other years as well...

What do you like or what are you looking for - anything in particular (certain player, cool inserts/paralllels, legends, auto RCs, ..?) Are you partial to one particular company or product (personally I like Topps Chrome). A little more info. would be helpful.

You can usually get better prices on products from past years. Not sure how far back you are willing to go.
Here are a few more suggestions:

08-09 Topps (Topps Chrome and Topps Murad are very nice too but I don't think you can get them for what you want to pay)
- nice 58-59 variation inserts(Lebron), auto's(stars and legends like Rondo and L. Wilkens, D. Coleman) and GU (Kobe)
- photoshoot auto's which are always popular

08-09 Fleer - Chance at Jordan GU and buyback auto's, some nice inserts and nice-looking dual GU
(Fleer Hot Prospects - nice-looking patch auto RCs - is also nice but again a little out of your range probably)
07-08 UD - K. Durant's rookie year - has a nice RC auto (not auto RC) in this product - nice design on the Star Signings set

08/09 Topps Treasury or 09/10 Topps

It depends what u want to get back in return (auto / logomen / 1-1 or what else)

I myself have some boxes I liked most:

---09-10 SPGU (as I got 2 logomen out of 3-time packs bursting) but the autos are suck , for the jerseys its very easy to get MJ , Kobe , Lebron or even Wilt & Retired Legend jersey(s)
---07-08 Fleer Hot Prospects / 08-09 Fleer Hot Prospects , usually u can get 2 autos or 3 autos (maybe auto jersey / auto patch) in each box , its easier to get Big autos (but NOT on card ....sticker auto)
---07-08 (and) 08-09 Sp Authentic , its on card auto but VHTG mojos
---09-10 Topps Jumbo box , like the brother upstairs said , but its hit or miss , also some of the big Logoman 1/1 like Kobe , Stockton etc was already out from packs already
