What would you buy?

We all like to think about what we would do/ buy if we hit the Mega Lottery jackpot, but that is very unlikely to happen for any of us. Lets make the question a little more realistic. If you received a sudden financial windfall (no more than $500) what card/ cards/product would you buy?

Knowing myself I'd buy 50 discounted retail blasters.

[Counterbalance]

I'd complete my 2010 Topps insert sets and put some aside to start the 2011 sets.

rather than buy 100 low end cards, i would treat myself to like 1 or 2 high graded dwight howard exquiste autos i think :D

signed 1978 Topps Pete Maravich card. Last month one with PSA/DNA went for $854.

I'll go with the $500 limit. For a card that is out there and readily available, and a price I'd be willing to pay I would probably look to add a couple of my needed Carey Price RCs - like the Hot Prospects and Ultimate Collection. Either that or some sort of crazy low #'d show-off piece.

Wow, some of these responses were not what I was expecting. I thought the members here would have specific "must have" pieces on their want lists. For me, as tempting as cracking a bunch of wax would be, I would have to look for a really nice auto or vintage card for my PC. Maybe a Walter Payton auto, vintage PSA Mantle, or another Unitas auto.

Right now I am looking for UD 2011 football so I would buy a few blasters of that. I would also get some UD 2011 basketball if/when they come out with it. I also am always looking for mcdonalds all americans as well as razor high school all americans. I would check different stores and websites for deals to spend the rest of the money on.

[Devlin]

At least one vintage mantle

[FL Henry]

I would buy the following autos:

Durant
Wade
Duncan

I have a pretty decent basketball collection but I am almost embarrassed to say that I don't have an auto from these guys.
