Need advice on what to buy - phillies816 - 01-12-2012

Like alot of other people I don't have much disposable income right now but will be putting aside about $200 from my tax refund to spend on baseball cards. I will either be getting 3 Hobby Boxes of 2012 Topps Series 1 or 2 Jumbo boxes 2012 Topps. What choice should I go with? Any advice would be appreciated

I am a sucker for the Jumbos since I think you had better odds at a bigger hit. I have no idea whether that is actually true or not.

I have also seen better hits from the Jumbos. JMO

Get 1 jumbo and 1 regular and go from there.

Thanks for the responses so far. I think the question I should have asked is are the Jumbos worth the extra money?


RE: Need advice on what to buy - kelbysdaddy - 01-13-2012

the jumbos are worth the extra money- 3 hits per box as opposed to 1

I usually buy a Jumbo box cause it gets me super close to having a complete base set and the guaranteed auto is icing on the cake. Plus you usually get a lot more inserts and parallels.

Definitely go with jumbo. It triples your hits without tripling the money. Plus you get close to completing the set and get nice inserts/better chance of getting a nice hit.

I'd buy singles!! Of course, I only collect one player!!

I'd go with Jumbo. There are more hits, and more Golden Givaway codes.
