    I would go with Sweet Shot. I'm picking one up for myself here in a day or two. Stay away from harcourt though. there cards aren't all that

    I'd go with Rookie Debut.

    You are guaranteed two of either an auto or a piece and they have some nice looking autos.

    I busted one and ended up with a Luther Head Auto, a Jason Maxiell redemption auto, a Devean George Piece, and top it off...............

    A draft day rewind double auto of Lebron and Carmello #/25.

    THe draft day rewinds would be enough for me to buy it again.

    I also busted a Sweet Spot.

    Ended up with an Ike Diogu auto, Yao Piece, and Ray Allen Piece, along with three Rooks. not that impressed.

    topps chrome... they are the most recognized and i believe the rookie hold their value the best... the second would be sweet spot if you get a nice hit but as stated above... there are some crummy boxes as well

    I agree with those that said Topps Chr. Just from the standpoint that I find the cards to be real nice looking and I like the way the refractors are numbered.

    I'd do the Chrome or Sweet Shot. At $70/box for Chrome you get some nice stuff. I bought 4 packs the other day and beat the odds on two of them. Pulled two refractors that were 1 every 400+ packs :)
