Low on traders, what should I break?

[oilfan10]

I haven't broken any boxes in a while and am low on traders. I might go to the card shop today and have $125 to spend. I don't want to spend all of it preferably. So what should I get? I've been thinking of something like...

08-09 Between the Pipes(i like what I've seen from other people's breaks) $__
Any year SPA $___
05-06 Upper deck series 2 retail $75

What would be good?

This years SPA wouldn't be a bad choice, but I don't know how much it is around you

Btw, do you need a Gagner Ultimate RC Auto /399?

Thanks, I could use to to trade to a local guy, but I don't NEED it. I don't think I have anything for you as well...

As for the boxes, any other box suggestions would help too!

I would go for Artifacts .. there is a hit in every pack

[Estovia]

I have never liked Artifacts for my money (a hit in every pack? what are you smoking?!)

SPA
ICE
Black Diamond
BTP
BAP
Trilogy
SPGU

(More like packs on the last two, but at least you'd be guaranteed something tradeable in each pack)

I'd go with BAP, you get an auto in every pack and if you get a hot box you get 3 per pack!!! Plus you get either a RC /99 and /10 and either a RC JSY or a RC Redemption /99.

torrey mitchell rc
ryan carter rc
steve wagner rc
hasek jersey
modano jersey


go for the artifacts

Well, shop was closed so I'm left with that urge to bust a box now lol I'll just head over to the store tomorrow. As for the suggestions so far, BAP is the only choice I'm considering. I think I'm gonna go with either 07-08 SPA or 08-09 BTP.

I still have lots of time to decide though, so keep the choices coming!

[quiet-things]

I would go with either BTP or SPA like you said, I personally dont like BAP lots of "hits" but they dont value well... Unless youre lucky!

Yeah, the slight chance I get the Crosby or Malkin auto in BAP is really low, but the hot boxes are intriguing.

I'm really digging the supersized pad cards in BTP though, along with quite a few of the other memorabilia cards. And of course, SPA is always SPA. Personally, I think 07-08 has a better rookie class. Plus, Ovechkin actually signed that year.
