For that goal you're way better off scouring the 'net for singles. The boxes have come down though, and the cases as well. Most sites have them for around $175 already down from the initial $200. When a couple more products come out they will probably dip even a little further, so if you still want a case I'd wait til it's not the newest thing and prices drop even more!
I collect Michael Jordan, Mitch Richmond, and Ohio State players (football and basketball) in OSU gear. I strongly prefer 90's-era cards and use newer cards primarily for trade bait!
