Preferred Methods!

[Johnny8242]

Well im kind bored so I thought Id make this what are your favorite or preferred method?

Here are mine


1. Single Cards- You allways know what your going to get I love going to Card shows and on ebay and picking the exact cards you want usually comes out cheaper in the long run.

2 Retail Blaster Boxes Ive had some luck with these they are not searched through and you get a decent amount of cards for the price. Much Cheaper then buying sealed wax hobby and enough to satisfy my wax busting needs

3 Hobby Packs I like to buy single packs at the 2 nearest hobby stores the closest one is very overpriced and the other one is a good bit further and not a whole lot cheaper. Ive been bit too many times on single hobby packs thats why its this low

4. Hobby Boxes Man I love busting these but with my small income as a college student I cant afford a lot of this usually only get these at Christmas and or Birthday. If your a fan of a certain series(ex.me with Turkey Red) you can get a large ammount of your favorite cards.

5. Retail Packs Okay I love buying retail packs but with pack searching going on by the time i hit Target most of it has been packsearched if I see a fresh box I usally buy a few packs. I got bit too many times buying this thats why I Tend to stay away from these.

My preferred methods,

1. Single Cards- ebay and trading are the way to go for a particular player.

2 Hobby Boxes, I do love busting myself but can't always afford it, still I like doing this stuff.

3 Hobby Packs, no shops near my house, usually buy mine online (No, not from ebay). 118 miles to nearest hobby shop.

4. Retail Blaster Boxes, a fix to my addiction, that's all.

5. Retail Packs, I have to be desperate to bust these things.

My preferred methods,

1. Single Cards- ebay is great for my collection, but local Card shows/shops are even better.

2 Retail Blaster Boxes, The only type of box I can afford. They do hold me over for a while.

3 Retail Packs, about all I can afford when not buying singles. While packsearching may be a problem, I have never had too bad a luck with these.

4. Hobby Packs, Can't remember when I ever got a hobby pack, but I'm sure I have in the past.

5. .Hobby Boxes, Never busted one of these, but I'm sure it would be fun

Do you mean total cost is cheaper? Because if you figure out the price per pack it's usually the same as hobby, sometimes hobby can be even cheaper if it's on sale. obviously, I'm talking about a blaster and a hobby box of the same product.

Can I answer with a simple "yes"? :)

I think "yes" is a justifiable answer :)

I would put mine in this order:
1. Singls
2. Hobby Boxes
3. Hobby Packs
4. Retail Blasters
5. Retail Packs

Basically, for me, I have a box busting, pack ripping fix that I like to get off once in a while. I would buy hobby all the time if I had everlasting amount of money.

Single cards is obviously the most cost affetive route, plus you get what you want/need 100% of the time. I still have to bust boxes here and there though, just for fun. I can't help it, I just have to bust every once in awhile!!
I don't really do blasters or retail anymore, just never hit anything at all.

That's my problem. After hitting that Mantle GU #2/7 and the Maurice Jones Drew Sweet Spot auto from retail, I think I'm invincible, so I take trips to Walmart all the time to get Blasters. It's a huge black hole that they're sucking me into :new_silly

1. Singles- You get what you want
2. Hobby Boxes- It's fun pulling all those nice cards
3. The Rest- Not worth my time

Singles- I usually get at least a card a day in the mail, so the excitement is wondering which one it will be!!!

Other wax- stopped buying them pretty much
