Hello, im wanting to try my luck on a case of eithor Gold Standard, Preferred, Or black Box, what one would be the best bet?


Does anyone know if all the best Gold Standard cards have been pulled? The 1/1 gold cards?

Thanks, any ideas appreciated!

+1, busted five boxes of Preferred and haven't come even close to pulling anything worth it. Best card was a Bill Walton auto /5, not even close to getting $1K value.

What do you mean, "cards left out there"? cards that haven't been pulled yet?

out of Gold & Black... I would recommend Black. The triple autos are Beautiful. Love their USA cards too.. I was not too thrilled about Gold. I wasn't too happy with the Black case I got.. you might do better.

Preferred is a nice product, but to try & get your money back & pull some PC cards.. it is hard. Too big of a checklist... so odds are against you. I broke a case & didn't come close to getting $2K worth of cards... will have to wait & see what the BV comes out to be... Best card I pulled out of a case + 4 boxes of Preferred was a Bill Russell auto /5, Clyde Drexler prime/auto/25, & Toni Kukoc prime/patch/25....

my Preferred & Black Box case breaks:

Yeah I'm in agreement as well. Elite Black came out at $250/box now it's down to $160 pretty much everywhere. Decent chance to make your money back at that price, if that's your goal.

Exactly, and/or pulled and not reported online anywhere. Which is obviously a possibility as well.

I had heard that they had taken the precaution of getting the majority of these redemptions out in early packages, both to boost hype about the product and b/c these aren't treated like the normal redemption process. Apparently, if there are any left, they are already packaged and ready to go and the collector gets the card in a couple weeks.

Can anybody confirm this, or am I losing my mind?


RE: Gold Standard/Preferred or Black Box? - jeep1991 - 03-28-2012

As far as I am aware all of these are boxed up in their fancy packaging and ready to go. They aren't auto redemptions, so there is no reason that they can't be already boxed. They are just waiting for the rest of the redemptions to come in.
