Best high end boxes?

[Truerarities]

Hi all, I've just recently returned to the card hobby, when I collected before it was just baseball so I have absolutely no experience in basketball cards but I love the sport and am thinking of expanding my collection a bit. My baseball collection consists of only GU/autos and numbered cards (along with a couple sets I'm building) so more or less high end stuff, I want to do this with basketball too. I'm a big Celtics fan so I'm probably going to work on a PC focusing on them but I also love opening packs and trading so I'm wondering what good high end basketball boxes are around these days?

Thanks in advance,
Kyle T.

Decided to start with a box of 2012 pannini gold standard. Good choice?

Totally Certified. Six hits with a guarantee of 3 autos with the other hits being memorabilia. You also get a nice selection of numbered cards. It is only $100-$120. Price changes a lot. Prizm is another one but is a hit and miss. Check DaCardworld.com and blowoutcards.com.

Right on, might have to grab a box of Tottaly Certified as well here in a little bit. (I've been splurging the past few days on boxs, 7 in 11 days, easily $1000+... haha... I'm addicted.

Wen't ahead and pulled the trigger and got a box of Tottaly Certified too. Might have to take a week or so off buying boxes now though.

Be carefull opening packs becomes very habit forming.

I know it! I have a really up and down income so when I have a good chunk of money its hard not to buy a bunch of boxes.

Prior to to Upper Deck losing their NBA license I would say Exquisite, Ultimate Collection, Black and Premier. But now since Panini is the only licensed company to manufacture NBA cards, I would say Totally Certified. I'm not a fan of National Treasures or Preferred. I'm not too high on Gold Standard but considering I've never busted any of the last 3 Panini products I named, that right there should tell you how I feel about them..

And like someone else mentioned, busting product gets very addictive, you're better off going to card shows and/or the secondary market.
