I need to start shopping at your lcs. Mine charges way more than that for those boxes. I've bought a lot of 2010 Certified and have been generally happy. I bought one plates and patches and wasn't too impressed.

Exquisite/contenders

BEST SHOT AT GETTING YOUR MONEYS WORTH WOULD DEFINATELY BE CONTENDERS BUT THERE ARE NO PATCHES SO YOU MAY NOT WANNA GO THAT ROUTE. IF YOU WANT NICE PATCHES YOU SHOULD GO WITH THE EXQUISITE OR CERTIFIED. TRIBUTE HAS PRETTY MUCH ALL 1 COLOR JSY'S AND 09 IMO WAS A BETTER DRAFT CLASS SO WOULD PROBABLY BE BETTER OFF WITH ONE OF THOSE PRODUCTS. ABSOLUTE DOESNT BOOK VERY WELL AND YOU HAVE VERTUALLY NO CHANCE OF TURNING THE MONEY SPENT ON THOSE INTO MUCH EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE IMO SOME OF THE BESTLOOKING CARDS.

Exquitie/Supreme... then maybe Contenders...

if your looking for nice patches and autos you could get a couple boxes of 2010 absolute! but thats not on your list. limited has a good chance of nice stuff and is relatively cheap at your shop. stay away from plates and patches,contenders dont have game used cards, and triple threads is a huge risk. good luck!
