Hey guys,

I've been a Jagr PC collector only forever and the last box I've busted open was probably 93-94 Leaf.

I have that itch back and want to take a shot at a box, but don't really know where to start. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I looked up cases here and may lean towards one of those rather than a single box.

Here are a few I was contemplating.

The Cup; just go crazy?: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2010-11-Upper-De...35b4fc1d23

Ultimate; cheaper than the Cup, but a great chance of some hits?: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2010-11-UD-Ultim...35b3cea73e

BAP Sig; cheaper and a ton of signatures?: http://www.ebay.com/itm/15-BOX-HOBBY-CAS...2c5ede4f69

05-06; try for AO or Crosby?: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2005-06-UD-ULTIM...19c8bba54f

Wait for Artifacts?: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2011-12-Upper-De...35b49e0aaf

Just go old school and save my money, but still have fun opening packs?

let me ask you this,

are you going for jagr or going to try to build a set?

I have bought some boxes from ebay and have had very bad luck with.

I would prefer to go for something that I have a shot at a Jagr. I'm leaning towards something 05-08 where he would be or wait for something this year.

Do you think they mess with the boxes on eBay and I'd be better off going direct from a dealer? Or just random luck?

most of those links are from DA... maybe you can just buy them from them directly as the prices are a bit cheaper (I think they add to the ebay fees to the site)

also I would wait a bit, next season there is another ITG decades but this time 90's. Gota have some jagr in that set to keep you happy

Good call. That sounds like a fun one!

pricing be about the same too, so you can (if you in the states around $90 a box if pre order cheaper then that)

also if you get a case it is always cheaper too
