What to do?

[graphix28]

Any advice on what box or boxes to buy. I have $120, I usually buy Donruss Classics or Leaf Certified, I want something new. What would you buy? (when's the UD 05 coming out?)

Thanks for any help

I look at whether a box has cards that I like, to start with. I'm not a big fan of chrome type cards, so even if the top autos are hundreds of dollars, I just can't get into them. I've been buying UD Legends because there are a lot of names and cards of the players I knew growing up, but still a neat mix of newer players, rookies and JSY inserts. I think 3 autos, a Jersey, 2 RC's (all #'d) per box is pretty good value, but only if you like autos of older players. I can't really tell you where to look for value in RC autos or JSY's, but for me it starts with the look of the card.

personally i like the '04 UD Sweet Spot (i think the mini helmet autos are the coolest cards ever). good mix of rc's jsy's and autos too.

graphix28- stay away from Fleer, as I hear they are going out of business.If you have luck like mine you would pull a 1/1 redemption, only never to be redeemed....Anyway, look to get ser.# RC's, live autos....like PghPI says, the 2004 Legends are as loaded as a box can get, some NICE autos in there, all on the rise!But, if you like high end treasures(I never get them), go for SP Authentic,SPx , or Playoff Contenders.......BEST OF LUCK WITH YOUR BOX, LMK if you get any Dallas Cowboys !!!!!!!!

Thanks for the advice. I would love to get Contenders but man they are like $200 now. wow. Think I might go with Sweet Spot. And if you know of anyone that has a Walter Payton, McNabb or Favre auto and/or nice patch card please let me know if they want to sell or trade... Thanks again!!!
