    Cheap Box for a Cheapskate

    I usually buy one box of hobby a year, just to know I'm going to have fun, get some hits. Otherwise a stick to the occasional blasters and spend most of my money on singles.

    In the past, I've always bought Elite or Classics, but my Donald Brown collection keeps me from spending too much on a box. So, I've been checking out blowoutcards for boxes around $60. There are 4 possibilities I found. What do you guys think would be the best?

    1. Score Inscriptions (just under $60) 3 hits, they've been a fun blaster break, but have seen some up and down hobby breaks

    2. Topps (just over $50) cheapest of the 4 is always the lowest on hits (1). I'm going to the gold and black Colts inserts (have the base set) but not likely to get those in a box.

    3. Topps Magic (about $65) Most expensive. Seems people are loving the breaks on these, which is probably why I listed it, but would probably prefer pro-jerseys.

    4. Upper Deck (pre-sell, $60) 3 hits. Good looking design. Comes out soon so I won't have to wait long.

    What would you guys get? Is there something else I'm overlooking in that range? Thanks!

    Out of those, I'd probably wait for Upper Deck...just personal preference though. I love Topps Magic, but if you only buy 1 box a year, I wouldn't go for college unis if you prefer the pro. The Signature Shots auto in UD this year look great and I like the looks of the base too...a little different from the last few years. Another option would be Topps Chrome...should be around $60-65/box and they look like they're going to be really nice this year.
