buy a nice single of someone u collect, i wouldnt waste it on wax unless u have alot of free cash to blow on cards

I'm a huge fan of Artifacts so i'd vote for that, 4 hits with 1 auto and the chance to pull some nice cards, I pulled a Fitzgerald auto/patch #'d 3/5 last week so there are definetly nice cards in there. Plus you'll have some cash left over to get some singles or save towards another box.

My second choice would be LCM cause I always enjoyed that product since they put HOF/Vintage gu cards in the Fabric of the Game series.

Good luck with whatever you decide!

I would go with one box of artifacts and a mini box of 2005 finest. I saw them on Dave and Adams for like 40 and 20. That would leave you a little left over and two auto's and several GU.

I haven't checked the recent prices of 04 LCM but I bought lots of those boxes and there is some really good stuff in them for the price. When they were new in 04 they were selling for $10 per pack so anything $60 or less and you are getting a sweet price. Plus that rookie class is one of the best. Only problem is that the Mirror Gold and Mirror Blue RC's don't have autos like the newer LCM.

Dang I just check blowout on the 04 LCM and they are $59.99 per box. Last year they were only $49.99 per box. I was all over them at that time. Maybe that is why they went up?

This is the best advice. I can sell you a card like this for $60.

I agree. Buy a nice single, you'll feel better about it. If your intent on buying a box, this years upper deck is a nice value for around $65. 3 memorabilia hits and 1 auto, plus 3 short printed rookies and 4 regular rookies in each pack.

Buying a nice single is great...but if you're like me and addicted to busting wax, that wouldn't feed the hunger!

I agree w/ExeterJay about the 2008 UD...good hits and a chance for a hot box. Or wait a couple of weeks for 2008 Topps Chrome...always a good set and easy to trade.

Buy singles, don't waste your money on wax. If you have to feed the bust hunger, then buy some blasters from Target or Walmart.
