Hobby Box Trading Cards (need OT’s help)
Posted on 8/12/23 at 1:44 pm
Posted on 8/12/23 at 1:44 pm
Doing some early Christmas shopping. There are so damn choices I don’t know where to turn.
I want to purchase 1 basketball box and 1 baseball box. Roughly $150 to $300 to spend on each box.
Which box should I get?
Which site should i purchase from?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Are these boxes full of trading cards or just empty boxes? And what brand are these cards?

That is kinda the cheapest boxes out there, I say spend a little more on Donruss Optic.
RR Color.
Breaking is a waste imo. Hobby boxes are just ridiculous from shtty Panini. Buy singles for someone that they PC.

I like Dave and Adams or Layton sports cards but they mostly rip for you and dont ship sealed

Screw that. Take that $600 and buy a couple old cards (Mantle, Williams, etc), or a few new, single rare cards.

Exactly. Buy some slabs PSA 9/10 RCs of someone they PC.
Breaking with the price of wax is a complete waste and sucker move atm.

Try Dave and Adam’s Card World. Sometimes you can buy older boxes for a discount. For baseball I always liked Bowman Chrome but I don’t know if they sell them anymore though.

Email me if you decide to go the singles route. If not, could source you a decent hobby box.

I went to the national 2 weeks ago - if you're looking for a big time ROI ripping wax isn't the way to go but it's more fun than just buying singles. the massive hits are few and far between when opening sealed boxes. I do both though

Buy them a box or two, and then give them a Visa giftcard to cover the costs of getting their potential finds graded.

What is the way to big time ROI
Posted on 8/12/23 at 1:59 pm to barbapapa
Agree but such a disappointment after every box. I've controlled my breaking. For a kid, just buy him retail imo. Or maybe buy retail and some slab for his PC?
How was the AC?
