How would you spend $100?

Both would be under your $100 question.

Just my 2 cents.

Forgot about Totally Certified - I have had very good luck with a couple of boxes this year.
I'll second on Artifacts.

I'm thinking I've got to start trading since I've already bought a few boxes and it would hopefully allow me to get some cards I really want. There is a strong allure to opening packs also.

As a new collector, I'm still trying to narrow down my focus. I know I'm not likely to pull down a card worth a ton of money only spending $100 but I assume a lot of people on the forums still buy boxes to open and was just wondering what their current go to pick is or how'd they spend $100 at the LCS if someone gave them a giftcard.
I was in your boat at one point not that long ago myself, I started collecting a few certain players (Peter Mueller, Neal, Saad, Talbot), but I think I'm just sticking with Talbot/Mueller moving forward, but since I do like opening boxes, I've been trying to complete base sets with an insert from each series, for example:

12/13 Artifacts - Base plus Rookies
13/14 Artifacts - Base plus Rookies
05/06 Ice - Base plus Rookies
11/12 SpX - Base plus Winning Materials/Winning Combos

A lot of time if you're diligent you can find a number of them on eBay for very cheap, it's not as exciting as opening a pack, but it eliminates an excess of base cards and the thrill of the chase is exciting at the same time.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

If I reworded the question to "How would you spend a $100 gift card at your LCS?" would your answers change?

yeah, it would change depending on how my LCS is. If there isn't a lot of singles there, I would probably buy a box of something. I hear Rookie Anthology is pretty good.

Are you looking to start collecting a set or is this just random stuff for trade bait, just to break?
Looking for: Brandon Nolan, Manon Rheaume

I'm not looking to collect a set of something as I don't care for too many players. I'm more looking for trade bait and the fun of breaking a box.
