I guess in the long run each has it's very highs and very lows so that's why I do both and enjoy both couldn't pick between them. On a side note the one thing that has never failed to deliver excitement and satisfaction for me that never has any lows what so ever.................sending out a nice freebie/care package. Can't top the feeling you get seeing how much someone else enjoys getting what you sent.

RE: What do you find more exciting?
I love to chase cards. I used to love wax more but since the last 200 or so i spent on boxes/ packs/ blasters has stunk.
I love looking threw bins at shows and finding cards i have been searching for.

I feel the same way. But as the years have past, the products that the card companies are putting out are filled with more & MORE rookies every year & less & LESS veteran/hof players. I prefer to collect established/proven players, over the brand new, hot off the press rookie of the week. Busting boxes is really fun (i bust some every now & then jus to scratch the itch), dont get me wrong, but for that $100 im gonna spend on a box, I would much rather put a few extra dollars towards that & get a Favre auto that I need for my pc.
Jus my thoughts

RE: What do you find more exciting?
i find trading more exciting and challenging, as i can spend lots of money and hope for luck, spend money to buy cards, but the real challenge is having stuff people want and them having stuff you want without having to spend tons more money and still get what I want more then what I have sometimes

RE: What do you find more exciting?
I prefer buying what I want for my PC then taking a gamble on some overpriced and crappy box of cards... The odds and prices are just not worth it these days for packs... I would rather buy ALL the singles I can to enhance my PC... Even trading cards these days is a JOKE... Near impossible to pull off a trade... I give up, I will stick to singles...

RE: What do you find more exciting?
i'll admit...busting packs is a hell of a lot more fun...but then i feel really guilty afterwards, especially since i know that i'll be lucky to make back 30% of my purchase. when i win a card at auction, it's only good when i sneak a win in.

RE: What do you find more exciting?
I love to rip open packs. It's pretty much like gambling. you win some...you lose some. Usually evens out over time. I need to cut back myself. I have spent way too much lately but it is really exciting. Good thing I don't go to Vegas cause if I gambled there like I break boxes, I would be in big trouble...lol

RE: What do you find more exciting?
busting a fresh case, box or pack is the best feeling. way better than buying or trading a card outright.
