I'm Buying a case

[ru72]

I know that there are several posts on what to buy or what is someones favorite product....but I gonna buy a case of something 06 within the next week. Pretty much narrowed it down to a few choices....would like your opinion.

1 case - PO Contenders
1 case - SP Authentic
2 cases - Bowman Chrome

yes...I do know that this stuff is a pre sell right now, but just want to get something ordered. And yes, I do know there are some other nicer things out there, but I do have some kind of a budget to work with.

Or let me know something that you might crack a case of if you had the opportunity.

Thanks

Well I have always kinda wanted to crack a case of SPA but I think you have alot better shot at getting alot more autos and more RC autos in contenders.

i,d go with the 2 cases of bowman chrome doubling your chances for a big hit plus i like the chrome looking cards anyway

Man, gotta go with SPA this is the year to pull the rookies. And they will have sign of the time autos too. Go wtih the best forget the rest. I would crack a case of SPA if I could. Pull that Bush and you could probably make your money back on the case how sweet would that be. On top of that with this rookie class you could set a few boxes aside and sell them later after a few of these rookies become stars. remember how much 2001 Vick rookie SPA boxes shot up? Or 2004 boxes with Big Ben after the super bowl? And of course the 2000 SPA with Brady is still an expensive box. If Palmer ever gets the Bengals to the Super Bowl then the 03 boxes with double plus the Larry Johnson patch went crazy. 2002 and 2005 don't seem to have that guy that drives the boxes up the Portis and Stallworth still sell for less than a box. Although maybe to early to say on the 05 class. Anyway good luck with whatever you choose.

With who you are ordering from because of price. Some companies ask way too muc for certain products if you ask me. Because the product just isn't worth it. I run my own business and don't even order some products because of this. Also in my opinion there is one product that is going to outdo the products you have listed when it comes to pul ratios. Thats Bowman Sterling 2 relics and one auto per pack. Also I don't know if you ever opened up any baseball bowman sterling, but you are never dissappointed. Anyways Here is the ratio's
Every 5-card pack contains:

1 Autographed Rookie Card
1 Rookie Relic Card (replaced by an Autographed Relic 1 per box)
2 More Rookie Cards
1 Veteran Relic Card (replaced by an Autographed Relic 1 per box)
Every 6-pack box contains:

2 Hobby Exclusive Box Loader Encased Cards
Every 8-box case contains:

1 Dual Autographed Refractor Card

CONTENT BREAKDOWN:

BASE CARDS - 5 per pack

50 Rookies - 2 per pack
40 Autographed Rookies - 1 per pack (Hobby Exclusive)
35 Rookie Relics - 1 per pack
10 Autographed Rookie Relic Variations - each is a 1 of 1 (Hobby Exclusive)
5 Autographed Veteran Relics - 1 per box (Hobby Exclusive)
50 Veteran Relics - 1 per pack
PARALLEL CARDS - Every card from the Base Set

190 Red Refractors - each is a 1 of 1 (Hobby Exclusive)

thanks to all who responded....I have pondered some of the same issues you listed....wayneclabaugh2 - thanks for mentioning the Sterling...didnt even think of that product. Still undecided....but slightly leaning to the SPA (one hit and you pay for the entire case)

Id go with SPA or Contenders, I would probably go with Contenders, one Championship Ticket would pay for a case as well. Plus imagine if you pull a Bush his Contenders will be super hot as well.
You have a chance at more Autos of Bush Leinart Young in a case than you do of SP Authentic.
Just my opinion though, I wish you the best of luck buddy
