Opinion: Ebay Purchase
So I bought a factory sealed box of 2000 Bowman's Best cards for $35 + shipping. It was total under $45. Based on some of the cards in the set, including the Urlacher rookie which is the main reason I bought it, does this sound like a good price?
Realizing if I pull a Montana autograph it'll be a GREAT price, but just curious on the whole for the box.
Looking for: Urlacher, Hester, Forte, Knox, Cutler, and other Bears "Star" players. Even old school if you've got 'em.

i think any pre-2004 hobby box w/possible auto for under $40 is a steal
but that is just me

And I also just picked up a box of Topps for $20. I wonder if I'll get one of the 1/25 Urlacher rookie autos. :-D

RE: Opinion: Ebay Purchase
I've never bought older boxes on ebay like this, so I'm not sure what to expect. All the pictures have the wrapping on them. So I'm pretty confident since the folks are really high rated sellers. I'm just hoping my mojo is working when I open them. :-D Thanks for the info about it being a decent purchase at those prices.

I would be very wary of buying boxes from anyone besides a LCS or online store. Hopefully yours turn out well though!

RE: Opinion: Ebay Purchase
those old school boxes were really easy to get what you wanted out of and then reseal the box with other packs thrown in... They used to package the boxes the same way in the sense that the "hit" was always in the same spot, thus dealers would take just those packs out and throw a different pack in its place and reseal the box and sell it... just something to be wary of.
