Advice needed, what box to get?

Advice needed, what box to get?
Hi guys,
I'm a broke college student and I typically don't buy boxes. However, I got straight a's my last two semesters and I feel that I deserve to buy myself a gift (with my tax return)...

I can't go too crazy, but I have around $40-$50 to spend on something. After shopping around DAcardworld.com I realized that there really isn't anything that nice for under $150....

I wanted to get a box of 2010 Elite Extra or 2010 Bowman Draft but all were a bit more expensive...

Does anyone know of where I could find a box of those cheaper? Or does anyone have any suggestions on another box I might want to look into?

This hobby is getting too expensive for me Sad

I would just buy singles with it. There are some good ones on here right now. Check out Dbrookered on the trade forum.

I enjoyed opening a box of 2010 Topps Chrome for $45. More hits than Bowman

The topps chrome is a good set. Just be wary of the bending issues.

Always on the lookout for pre '85 cards.

I would prefer topps t-206 I opened a few boxes and one saturday and got 3 hits instead of 2! Nelson Cruz auto, one of those mlb logo patches /50 of Honus Wagner, and an Asdruble Cabrera auto (dont know how to speel his name). Also got a bunch of mini's and SP's and good rc's for $50.

Looking for........ anything I like
