I'll maybe get one or two refractor-base cards with BV of ~$5 each (if I'm lucky) whenever i spend close to $60 on the box. I'm starting to think it'd be smarter (and cheaper) just to buy cards I'm looking for instead of hoping to have a nice pull. Anybody else feel this way?

Are they retail or hobby boxes which can vary in hits.
In 2010 i bought a few boxes of Bowman Jumbos HTA, yea it was costly but things were better then. A few notable cards that i pulled: J. Heyward chrome ref, 2 Harper chrome and a chromr refractor, Strasburg cards & a Jeter 1/1 print plate. I doubt i could even come close to cost but it was something i had never done. Maybe at the height of release i'd break even or maybe make a few bucks. That wasn't my reason for buying, just needed something different & had fun doing it. About 10% was traded/sold, 10% pc cards & 80% unorganized lol.
