    Pristine Or Sterling??

    For a $30 pack, what would you prefer. Topps Pristine or Bowman Sterling.

    I've bought quite a few Pristine's but I'm curious about the Sterling's. What do you guys think. What would you go with?

    Me, personally, I would stick with pristine. I know the sterling has a lot of rc's and prospects, so theres a possibility that your card could turn out to be a flop. Pristine has more established players.

    Well I opened a box of pristine this past christmas and enjoyed it very much but I would go with Sterling. Sterling I believe gaurantees 1 auto and 1 auto/gu per pack. Pristine gaurantees 1 gu and 1 uncirculated per pack. Auto's are much hotter right now and the rc's are selling very well in sterling so I would go with sterling.

    Well I bought a pack of Sterling today and I have to say I'm impressed with the look of the cards.

    This is what I pulled:
    Chad Cordero GU AUTO Refractor Serial 138/199 (Very Nice) 1 in 9 pack odds.
    Micheal Young GU Bat Card
    Matt Macri RC
    Eric Huely RC

    $49 BV in that pack, not too bad. Sucks that you got an average player for the auto but at least it was a refractor.
