    Well You HAve 11+ FeedBack So Far You Seem to Be Doing Well But The Tips i can Give Ya For One Having a Good Assortment Of Cards Not Just In Multiple Sports Just a Good Amount And More Of the Known Names Lebron,Melo,Wade,Williams,Paul,etc...
    Just Having Base And Inserts Wont Bring You In the Higher End Cards And Making Good Trades Basically You Try and Get Closest To The Amount Of Each Card Or Within $1-$2 Maybe Up to $5 Difference its Very Hard To Actually Discribe it But thats The Basics, When i Came Here I Didnt Have Anything in My Collection that Passed $60 Bux in my Book But now i do with decent pulls from Breaking Boxes and Finding the Right Person or Persons To Trade With...!! =)
    Collecting All Current Las Vegas Raiders, Carmelo Anthony, Ken Griffey Jr, Bo Jackson, Frank Thomas.

    In general having a deep tradelist is important. Lots of people will tell you to bust boxes, but I think buying lots on here or an auction site is a better way to get a wide variety of cards to trade. wax is just soooo pricy these days, but addictive as ever.

    Some of the GU/AU/RC lots members offer up for sale on here are just as good a deal as ebay & I trust the people on here about a million times more. This is a community - ebay is more for sharks & scammers in my book. (just buy from someone with good feedback in any case)

    I will trade for Tom Brady (Anything, base is fine)
    & Some - Red Sox, Patriots & Celtics refractors/xfractor/prizms, etc.
    I generally don't want base & low-end inserts please.

    thanks guys I really appreciate that. It is kinda hard for me right now. I'm tight on money. I think I'm going to go bust a box sometime. What type of boxes do you guys recomend? PLMK and I will try to bust one sometime soon. Maybe this week.

    Oh you were talking about the box types. I thought you were talking about some cards that you liked from somebody's trade list. But how much do those boxes cost? I would really appreciate it if you could LMK if there are any other boxes that you like and have had luck with. SAME TO EVERYBODY ELSE. WHAT TYPE OF BOXES DO YOU LIKE AND HAVE HAD LUCK WITH. LMK

    wow that really sucks. in the Bowman is it Bowman Chrome or just Bowman? Have you ever bought a box at Target or somewhere else that has baseball, basketball, football and stuff like that? cause that was the type of box that I was thinking about getting. It only costs about $15-$20. I need some base ball and football if I want to make good progress in my collection.
