2002 Playoff Contenders Hobby box question

[rayny1]

$69.00 per box a good price for this product? It has 2 auto`s gauranteed per box. I`m thinking of buying 4 boxes. Should I, or should I not?

20 packs (two 10 pack mini boxes) of 5 cards each in a 185 card base set including 85 Autograph Rookie Tickets (#'d to quantity signed).

Each box contains TWO #'d Autograph cards.
Parallel sets:

85 Rookies #'d to 50, not autographed)

That's a good price but the boxes are very hit or miss. You could get a $300 Peppers RC Auto or a Nobody $1 RC auto (ebay prices).

There's a handful of $100+ RC autos but many more $1 ones.

Collecting cards is basically a game of chance.You can buy the top of the line box and pull a semistar or get a first round pick.I love collecting for that chance,yeah I get pissed about a bad box but it was my decision to buy it in the first place.I had a buddy buy Ultimate Collection NFL 400 a box he got slammed one card was a Peyton Manning auto the rest was players most have never heard off.He laughed and dealt with it because it was his choice to buy.The point is your suppose to enjoy the hobby or take up needlepoint...

I enjoy the hobby, but I also enjoy pulling nice cards. I do have an addiction and I need to fund my habit. I just wanted to know if this was a good price for that 2002 product.

I also forgot to ask if anyone else ever busted these boxes and do they contain redemptions? If so, then I`ll skip on it because I`d be the one to pull those expired redemption cards. ;)

kinda fell through this idea. I think I`m gonna hold out till after the draft takes place this April before I buy anymore cards. I`m saving my pennies for a case of 2006 SP Authentic or SPx. Just the idea of busting a case of any one of those products gives me will power to hold off for awhile.
