What should I get?
My store is having sales on some of their boxes:
Panini Prestige $39 per box
Bowman 48' $39 per box
Should I get three boxes of Prestige or 3 boxes of Bowman 48'? There's also boxes of UD Draft edition for $39, should I consider that?
Please, unbiased, acutal recommendations, don't tell me to get Bowman 48' or UD Draft because Panini is the devil

Bowman '48 can be great, also can yield 3 $2 autos, i'd stay away from that, Prestige at that price is a great deal in my opinion, i think 4 hits per box, chance for Evans/Griffin/Jennings Autos/SP RCs..
UD Draft Edition, well i'm bias because the box i opened yielded an $80 Frank Thomas Auto & $200 Michael Phelps Auto

If I were in your position I would buy 2 boxes of Prestige & 1 box of Bowman '48. Prestige is the best Panini set, imho because they have base rookie cards. Those "old school signatures" are their best designed veteran based auto. set and those college logo patch autos are rare & nice looking.
Bowman '48, imo is Upper Deck's version of 08'09 Topps Signature but a notch better. I've seen some sick patch autographs come out of this as well. It's a nice way to pull an autograph of Bill Russell...Dominique Wilkins...Magic Johnson, if you need guys like that.
I'd stay away from the Draft Edition. Lot of autographs of guys that were NOT even DRAFTED and didn't even get signed. But you have long shots of pulling a Ricky Rubio auto or autographs of others sports stars such as michael phelps, tiger woods, michael jordan in his UNC uniform, Lebron in his HS uniform etc. But those are rare and I think case hits. I broke 1 box of this and got an autograph in every pack and an autograph of the best women's softball pitcher (so I've been told) of Jennie Finch.

Well I rolled up to the store with $110 ( forgot my $200 in gift cards!) and picked up 2 boxes of prestige, 3 loose packs of Draft($2 each) and 2 loose packs of Prestige ($2). Along with some odds and ends.
I'm going back tomorrow with my dad( he's bringing his picture of him with Shawn Bradley, and the store owner is a huge BYU fan lol). There were three boxes of Prestige left, so I might gun for them.
