I wish i knew these things when i got back in. at that time everything was way overpriced and you couldn’t find any product on the shelf. Again great stuff
Couldn't agree more with this. I was so lost after so many years away. Hope to share all of our collective lessons learned to prevent this for others in the future.
Well option 2 absolutely gives the best bang for the buck. Really if your goal is just collecting favorite player or best players it’s a no doubter. Option 3 provides well little bit of both which is nice but option 1 albeit most of the time is not the best option for investing or collecting certain players but no doubt is the funnest. We love the rip there is just something about the fun of it. I have for more expensive sets just went singles route i mean most boxes never come close to getting money back.
Here is another thing to think on if you have patience if you buy the previous release after the newest release youll find a discount. Ex when heritage came out or series 2 series one prices went down. If you can wait a month or two past release you can really hammer option 2. In most cases like now would time to buy junior bc when he is called will go up but most guys you can find good deals. Hopefully this makes sense
I totally agree that option 1 is definitely the most fun, but, it can often lead to disappointment when the rip is over, but still always fun. This is why I tend to prefer option 3, the hybrid, to guarantee certain hits and still get the fun of the rip.
And you are 100 percent correct, patience will almost always bring reduction in prices from singles and boxes.
Yes, for last few years we have had 2 hobby’s and a jumbo with flagship different series and this years series 1 i hit a HFA Elly and thats only box we broke even on. It took a big card to even get that close. But Patrick what a fun time lol these articles would be great for new collectors keep it up
All it takes is that one big card to keep you going, that Elly was probably sweet and I am sure you and Micah loved it. The other part that I didn't mention in the article is who is in the checklist and are you chasing them. For me, as Pirates fan, I will be pretty interested in Update series with rookies Skenes and Jones most likely. That will sway my decision considerably.
