What to buy?

[PatG]

Need some help here. I don't buy boxes too often, so I try to get the best for the money (don't we all). I've got around $150 I'm willing/able to spend, but I'd like to get more than just one box.
I've been checking out blowout and atlanta, looking for something like a $50-something, $70-something and $30-something box. Or maybe two $70-something boxes.

In the $70 range, there's a nice deal on 07 Elite, my old favorite of 06 Tristar (I know, I know...people hate Tristar), 09 Finest, couple others
In the $50 range, there's 08 Elite, 08 Threads, 09 Bowman Chrome (I'll end up with an auto of a rookie who plays 22 career games), 06 Future Stars, etc.
Then there's a couple cheap $30 boxes, like 06 Topps 52.

Any advice here? What's the best value for the buck? I like sets with decent rookie autos, but also meaningful base/parallel/gu cards. I don't want to open a box just to disregard all the base cards and look only for the autos...just seems boring.

Thanks,

Pat

Little help?

I think the best value for the buck is Heroes and 08 bowman chrome draft. There are good upsides there. If you wanna spend a little more, I like 07 bowman chrome and 09 A&G. I generally do like to avoid buying the new bowman chrome product until their prices go down because it's not really worth it. If i'm in the mood for a cheap product, I'll probabily do 06 topps 52. Always like their base design.

08 Heroes is about 55/box and is really fun to open. Personally I would go for Bowman Chrome, but I like the rookies a lot. I think 09 is 60 a box and 08 can be had for like 35/box.
