It kind of depends on who you ask. People who like rookies and prospects, would probably say Bowman Chrome. People who like ultra high end might say Topps Triple Threads. People who like unique and variety might say Allen and Ginter. It all depends on your budget and your preferences.

So should I buy whole sets? Jumbo boxes? single packs?

Do the complete sets have any of the special or rare inserts or do you have to buy the jumbo boxes?

Buying whole sets won't get you any inserts. You have to buy jumbo boxes or hobby boxes. The hobby boxes have more packs, but less cards in each pack. As others have said, it depends on how much money you want to spend. The jumbo boxes cost more but you can only buy them for the Topps Series 1, 2, and Update. By the way, Update is sort of like the the Traded sets from back in the day, except they include all-stars, season highlights, etc. Other sets, Bowman, Topps Marquee, Allen and Ginter, etc. come in hobby boxes.

Dude just buy packs and have fun. You might get some hits you can trade up for. I like to bust wax and trade. I have a PC where I collect 3 main guys and then a few others. I put sets together when I have busted a bunch of it. Jumbo packs are the way to go on topps because there is more chances of getting hits. Do you know if you want to start a player pc or a team pc or sets or what. Find that out and then you will be good to go. HAVE FUN

Thanks for the quick reply. I used to collect Ken Griffey Jr and still have them. My favorite team is the Royals as I am from Kansas. But I collected many all stars also. Are Topps Chrome any good?

Where in Kansas are you? I'm in Western Kansas. Welcome to the boards. Everybody here is pretty cool and will help you with questions you may have. Good luck.

Welcome back to the hobby!

what you collect is up to your personal preference, whether its a certain player, team, or if you like to build sets. The first thing you need to do is find out if there is a local card shop in your town.

If you have any questions about the site or the hobby just ask us, we can help you out.
