RE: Hobby box?
Hmmm, Topps Series 1 or 2? Right now it seems that you can pay a lot for a pile of crap and get less than you would from the flagship. Gypsy Queen and Archives are fairly priced. I'd say Bowman, but it's not a good value right now.

RE: Hobby box?
I like 2012 prizm...You find boxes in the $70 range. Two autos in every box...rookies, prospects, hofs
Looking for ...
1)autos of Gwynn, Headley, Venable, as well as Chargers... Gates, and Rivers.
2) autos/gu'd of Baldelli, Zobrist, rare Red Soxs
3) HOF autos, game-used and #<50

2012 Goodwin Champions. 3 hits per box with a chance to get some real payoff cards!

Just save the money and frustration and aggravation and just buy singles of the cards that you really want.

+1...unless your like me and need the thrill of rippen. For 1 hobby box....I think GQ has a nice mix plus Auto & 2 Relics per box. Not a fan of A&G esp. at $95 box but there are 3 hits per box, If going after Topps 1 or 2....get the Jumbo instead of 2 hobby boxes.

Guess it really comes down to what you like.........good luck!
